Government firewalls and corporate networks don’t need to crack your encryption to block VPN connections. Deep packet inspection (DPI) systems identify VPN traffic through protocol signatures, packet patterns, and timing characteristics – then simply drop those connections. VPN obfuscation solves this problem by disguising encrypted VPN traffic as ordinary HTTPS web browsing. This stealth layer…
Canada’s investment regulator has confirmed a significant data breach that exposed the personal information of nearly 750,000 investors.
