NordVPN Launches NordWhisper Protocol Designed to Bypass VPN Blocks

  • Researchers at Leviathan Group found an unpatchable flaw in VPNs, called Tunnelvision, which allows attackers to siphon off data without detection, affecting all VPN products on various operating systems.
  • Brute-Force attacks on VPNs surged from around 200,000 in 2020 to an estimated 4 million in 2024, indicating increased vulnerabilities.
  • NordVPN launched the NordWhisper protocol to bypass VPN blocks and enhance privacy for users in restrictive environments, according to CTO Marijus Briedis.
  • NordWhisper disguises VPN traffic as regular web traffic, potentially improving access in places where VPNs are restricted, although it may slow down internet speeds.
