Security-minded internet users looking for another layer of obscurity when traveling in cyberspace can have it with some new tech announced Monday by Atlas VPN.
The paid VPN service has introduced a new way to route internet traffic, called MultiHop+, that’s more secure and private than conventional methods. It does that by allowing users to connect to the internet through several rotating VPN locations simultaneously.
With a traditional VPN, a “tunnel” is created between a user and a VPN server. All traffic in the tunnel is encrypted to protect its privacy. Interaction with the internet is done from the VPN server, which masks a user’s true IP address and real identity.
