Connecting the two via WireGuard takes barely over 100 milliseconds.”
The speed comes from its use of the open-source VPN protocol called WireGuard which, says Malwarebytes, “is more efficient and streamlined than traditional VPNs.” Malwarebytes is not alone in this assertion: an August 2018 review by Ars Technica includes, “an OpenVPN connection from my Xeon E3 workstation to Linode’s cheapest VM offering takes more than eight seconds.
Key features of the VPN are speed, security and privacy. “However, it is entirely appropriate for corporate workers who do not already have a corporate VPN solution to also use Malwarebytes Privacy while working from home.” “The initial release of the product is targeted at consumers and self-employed micro-businesses,” Malwarebytes told SecurityWeek. Larger corporations will have a company VPN they can use for their home workers, but smaller companies may not. Of course, the need for and piquancy of VPNs has received a massive spur from the current pandemic and the increase in working from home. As more and more people are utilizing home networks today, it’s increasingly imperative that we extend security to each and every person - no matter where they are or what network they are using - so that they can protect themselves and exert control over who gets their data, and for what purpose.” “With a single click, Malwarebytes Privacy gives you the power to protect your online privacy by masking your IP address and online activity.
“Today you can’t go online without corporations, advertisers, and hackers trying to eavesdrop on you, and it’s feeling increasingly invasive for consumers,” said Akshay Bhargava, CPO at Malwarebytes. Santa Clara, CA-based Malwarebytes has introduced Malwarebytes Privacy, a VPN it promises will be the first of an emerging suite of privacy products. Endpoint security firm Malwarebytes has launched a new VPN offering targeting work from home and consumer markets, featuring AES 256 encryption, WireGuard VPN protocol, no logging, and virtual servers in more than 30 different countries.
