NordVPN is rolling out a powerful addition to its Threat Protection suite – adult site blocking for Android and iOS users. This DNS-based tool preemptively filters out thousands of adult domains, offering users a safer browsing experience.
Previously, Threat Protection was already tackling harmful websites, ads, and trackers. The inclusion of the adult site blocker fortifies these defenses by preventing unwanted content before it even appears, all while maintaining the robust privacy of VPN encryption. Users can activate this feature with a simple toggle in the app.
“Mobile devices are central to our daily lives and protecting users from unwanted content is more important than ever,” says Domininkas Virbickas, product director at NordVPN.
This feature is a boon for parents looking to shield their children’s devices and for individuals who prefer to keep their browsing free from explicit content. The DNS filtering works seamlessly alongside existing protections to enhance user safety.
Simultaneously, NordVPN has launched a dedicated VPN app tailored for Amazon's new Fire TV Stick, which operates on the Linux-based Vega OS. As a pioneer VPN provider aligning with this launch, NordVPN ensures seamless streaming privacy from the start. This is vital as Amazon's latest TV Stick is stricter on unauthorized IPTV apps.
Marijus Briedis, NordVPN's CTO, emphasizes that, “Amazon's shift to Vega OS brings notable improvements in efficiency and performance, and we've ensured NordVPN users won't miss a beat during this transition." With the new TV app, users can enjoy extensive server coverage, NordLynx protocol for smooth streaming, and an interface that mirrors NordVPN’s Android TV app.
The app is crafted to be lightweight and efficient, providing essential VPN protection. Users can download it from the Amazon App Store once the Amazon software update is available. NordVPN is continually committed to refining its services to match user needs across all platforms.
These updates showcase NordVPN's relentless push for innovation in online safety. By introducing an adult site blocker for mobile and a new app for Fire TV Stick, NordVPN is reinforcing its reputation as a leader in privacy and security.
With these strategic enhancements, NordVPN continues to prioritize user privacy and safety, ensuring that users can navigate the web freely and securely across all their devices.
