Internet Kill Switch: A Security Cover When VPN Goes Down
Hong Kong (PRWEB UK) 11 February 2014 -- In today’s era of strict surveillance, many privacy-concerned internet users are using VPN to secure their online data. This solution works well until a VPN disconnects. In most cases, users do not even realize that it has stopped functioning. However, cybercriminals and surveillance agencies need just a few moments to get into a system and compromise its security.
Luckily, the PureVPN Internet Kill Switch option is here to help. When a user activates the Internet Kill Switch, it kills all internet activity in case the VPN stops working.
Mr. Uzair Gadit, founder of PureVPN, said:
“We have introduced an advanced feature called the ‘Internet Kill Switch’. This innovative technology ensures data privacy and security of all users by halting all internet activity when the VPN disconnects. It resumes normal internet activity once the VPN reconnects automatically.”
The Internet Kill Switch is the most voted feature as per PureVPN customers’ requests. According to Mr. Gadit:
“Online freedom, privacy and security have become the foremost priority for most web surfers around the world. Their fears are echoed by millions of other internet users. We have been closely working with our clients and incorporating their feedback to deliver a better online experience; and this new ‘Internet Kill Switch’ option will do just what they asked for.“
The internet has become the most convenient way of connecting with people. However, hackers, data snoopers and government agencies lurk around to sneak into the personal cyberspace of internet users. Just imagine, if an internet user connects a VPN to make a financial transaction and suddenly the VPN connection drops, the transaction will simply continue using unsecured internet connection. In this short interval of time, hackers can easily compromise a system or its online data. This is why we insist that the Internet Kill Switch is a must-have feature for all internet users.
Mr. Gadit further said:
“It is the new era of information technology that requires companies, governments and civil society groups’ to work together to promote online security.”
PureVPN—a tech giant in the VPN industry—continually adds features dedicated to improving online security and privacy. However, the Internet Kill switch is not the only feature that is added to the brand new VPN application for Windows. In fact, the entire PureVPN Windows application has gone through a major overhaul. The PureVPN Windows application is now five times more responsive than its predecessor. Unlike other Windows VPN applications, it does not slow down internet speed and delivers an excellent online experience. Mr. Gadit further explained:
“PureVPN’s new Windows VPN application has ‘Automatic Protocol Selection’ feature. This feature automatically selects the best protocol for the purpose of the VPN session as specified by the user. We have also incorporated ‘remote access’ to control remote connections.
“Internet freedom, privacy and security are our rights. If we are denied those rights, we should be prepared to fight for them – every single one of us!”
