Our Stealth protocol makes your #VPN traffic indiscernible from “normal” web traffic. Before we decided to call it "Stealth", our community has given us many ideas how to name it, and we’d like to share our favorites today (more in the second part of the tweet). (1/2)
Neutrino. 

Neutrinos are particles that pass through normal matter unimpeded and undetected - a perfect metaphor for what Stealth does!
Protocol McProtocolface. 

A reference to ‘Boaty McBoatface’ that absolutely cracked us up 😀
Quark. 

Quarks combine to form composite particles, including protons. Stealth embodies our belief in the free internet for all, so it represents a building block of Proton.
Ignotus. 

The Latin word for “unknown” – Stealth does make your VPN traffic unrecognizable from regular internet traffic.

Only days after Turkish government censored the internet for their citizens, #Ethiopia's government is doing the same. Our community's online freedom is our highest priority. All Ethiopians can download our free #VPN to get back online:

Even if you don't have a #TikTok account, they're still watching you. 100s of websites use TikTok tracking pixels. Want to stop companies sharing your data with them? Protect your data by using #ProtonVPN NetShield — that will block them.

There are many reasons to want to change your IP address, from streaming to bypassing government censorship. Whatever your reason, a #VPN is the easiest way to do it. In the two articles in this thread, you can learn how to change your IP address on #Windows or #iPhone.

Does a VPN protect you from all hackers though? No. It doesn't stop: - Malware (though it can prevent it from ever reaching your device like #ProtonVPN NetShield) - Software vulnerabilities - Human error (such as phishing)

Then there are other remote attacks, but a VPN offers additional protection because it hides your real IP address, so the hacker can’t target you with attacks such as port scanning, DoS, and DDoS.

DNS spoofing – or DNS poisoning – is when a hacker redirects you to a malicious site they control. A good #VPN handles and encrypts all of your DNS requests so hackers can’t tamper with them.

WiFi sniffing is when a hacker exploits an unsecured network using special software to “sniff out” data packets and analyze them. They can monitor your browsing and even hijack your cookies to impersonate you online. No one can sniff out your data when your #VPN is turned on.

A man-in-the-middle attack is when a hacker intercepts traffic between your device and your router. A #VPN hides your internet activity, so the hacker can’t use a MITM attack to eavesdrop on you.
