LONDON, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NordVPN, a leading cybersecurity company, and FlashRouters, a leader in secure networking solutions, have started a partnership unveiling the Privacy Hero 2, the first router to feature native support for NordLynx, NordVPN’s cutting-edge VPN protocol based on WireGuard technology.

This collaboration with FlashRouters marks a significant advancement in home network security and performance, delivering a seamless and user-friendly VPN experience directly to consumers.

"Our mission to contribute to a safer internet takes a step forward with the ability for customers to seamlessly configure VPN services on their routers, safeguarding their entire network of devices. Through our partnership with FlashRouters, we’re strengthening security for everyone relying on portable networking solutions or seeking a secure online experience while gaming," says Ignas Falkauskas, head of indirect sales at NordVPN.

"As a long-time partner of NordVPN, we at FlashRouters are thrilled to have collaborated on the Privacy Hero 2, a device specifically optimized for their service. This router represents the culmination of our shared commitment to user privacy and seamless VPN integration," said Joe Soria, co-Founder and COO of FlashRouters. "Our years of working closely with NordVPN have allowed us to create a product that truly enhances the NordVPN user experience, offering users unparalleled security and performance in one easy-to-use package."

This collaboration brings NordVPN’s advanced WireGuard-based technology directly to users' home networks, offering:

• Seamless VPN integration. With NordLynx pre-configured, the Privacy Hero 2 eliminates the need for manual VPN setups on individual devices.
• Exceptional speed and security. NordLynx’s cutting-edge protocol enhances download speeds by up to four times compared to traditional VPNs, while maintaining next-gen encryption.
• User-friendly features. Designed for modern homes, the Privacy Hero 2 supports up to 30 devices, simplifies management through cloud-based tools, and provides real-time analytics for optimal network control.
  

Privacy Hero 2 comes with one free year of NordVPN as well (and there is no end date planned for that currently).
