NordLayer, an adaptive network access security solution for businesses created by NordVPN, is introducing NordLynx — a new VPN protocol. It offers an improved connection, faster speeds, and better security measures than other VPN protocols.
“Cyber threats are ever-evolving. Therefore, as a cybersecurity company, we cannot stop innovating. With the help of NordLynx, our customers can feel more secure. In addition, the NordLynx protocol also has great performance. Based on our internal tests, it’s much faster than any current tunneling protocols, blurring the line between the direct and routed connection,” says Juta Gurinaviciute, chief technology officer at NordLayer.

What is NordLynx?
NordVPN, the leading consumer VPN, introduced NordLynx to its clients back in 2020. Now, this state-of-the-art protocol is available to NordLayer’s clients as well.
This new-generation protocol has its roots in the open-source WireGuard® protocol — NordLynx was developed on top of this framework. Therefore, NordLynx has some differences from standard WireGuard® protocol, offering benefits exclusive to NordVPN and NordLayer users.
NordLynx combines WireGuard’s® high speeds and Network Address Translation (NAT) system to protect users’ privacy. This system allows users to establish a secure VPN connection without storing identifiable data on a server. Dynamic local IP addresses remain assigned only while the session is active. Meanwhile, user authentication is done with the help of a secure external database.
