LEWES, Del.—Virtual private network provider Atlas VPN has introduced support for its state-of-the-art WireGuard protocol, which aims to be a more modern, faster, and secure alternative to existing legacy protocols.
The protocol is available to all Atlas VPN users on Windows, Android, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, iOS, and macOS apps.
WireGuard’s lean code base, which provides a low attack surface and is easy to audit, as well as modern cryptography, places less load on VPN servers than older protocols, resulting in higher server performance. This way, WireGuard can offer lower latency and reach higher speeds for a faster streaming, gaming, and overall browsing experience.
“WireGuard is one of the fastest and most secure VPN protocols available right now,” said Ruta Cizinauskaite, PR Manager at Atlas VPN. “Therefore, we wanted to make it available for Atlas VPN users. It works seamlessly with all Atlas VPN features and further enhances the VPN’s performance.”
Up until now, Atlas VPN employed IPSec/IKEv2 — a widely trusted and accepted VPN protocol. However, with the introduction of WireGuard, VPN users can choose among several protocols to find the one that best meets their needs.
Recently, Atlas VPN also announced the release of its data breach tracking tool Data Breach Monitor, and malware, ad, and third-party tracker blocking tool Tracker Blocker, as well as its SafeSwap feature, which enables users to have multiple rotating IP addresses by connecting to a single server.
