NordVPN has introduced a new protocol designed to bypass filters on restricted networks.


According to the company, NordWhisper is significantly better at concealing a user's connection than competing protocols bypassing VPN restrictions by mimicking traditional web traffic, though different types of challenges may eventually arise.


Virtual private networks are a clever network architecture that creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet. It works by routing your internet traffic through a private server, hiding your IP address and encrypting your data to enhance privacy and security


The new NordWhisper protocol was developed to allow NordVPN customers to access remote resources from networks that typically restrict VPN traffic.


According to the company, it is a solution for "navigating around" network restrictions and operates using different technology than traditional VPN protocols such as OpenVPN or WireGuard.

While traditional VPN protocols can be detected and blocked due to their unique traffic signatures and behavior, NordWhisper is designed to mimic regular web traffic.


A NordWhisper-powered VPN connection should blend seamlessly with ordinary internet activity, giving users a better chance of bypassing filters and state-sponsored censorship


However, the new protocol has a notable downside – NordVPN warns that NordWhisper may offer slower internet speeds than other VPN protocols under certain conditions
