Linux users enjoy better protection
Despite Linux being one of the most secure operating systems out there, its users are still at risk from invasive practices such as government surveillance, censorship, and snooping.
“VPN can help Linux users protect their personal information from unwanted tracking and interception by third parties by encrypting their online traffic and adding a layer of security between their Linux computer and the Internet,” said Ruta Cizinauskaite, Atlas VPN’s PR Manager .
In addition, Linux users can now take advantage of all the features Atlas VPN has to offer.
Atlas VPN supports the modern WireGuard protocol, which offers much faster connection speeds than OpenVPN while maintaining excellent privacy.
As for servers, the Atlas SafeSwap network allows it to have many rotating IP addresses without users having to switch servers all the time. At the same time, users can have their connection route through multiple server locations for additional anonymity and layers of encryption, thanks to the MultiHop feature.
More security features are also coming. These include a kill switch option that can prevent data leaks even if your VPN connection could drop.
