JAKARTA - Kaspersky announced the latest version of its Kaspersky VPN, which now includes two new protocols, namely Hydra and Wireguard, for a more protected and transparent connection.

This protocol is open source, and at the moment, the new protocol is working on Windows devices only. However, Kaspersky said they wanted to add other platform faucets such as macOS, iOS, and Android this year.

On the other hand, at the end of last year, Pango, VPN service provider Kaspersky also underwent a 'trust audit' from Aon Cyber Solution, to conduct a security assessment that focuses on the privacy of the company's Catapult Hydra source code and VPN Mitra platform. As a result, Pango is considered to be able to ensure the safety and confidentiality of user activity.

In addition to the new protocol, Kaspersky has also added a new feature that allows users to apply dark themes to Kaspersky VPN, as soon as users adjust the product to themselves.

In addition to the dark theme, the new version of Kaspersky VPN has also added new locations that can connect with their customers. In 2023, the company added four additional locations, namely Bangladesh (Dhaka), Liechtenstein (Vaduz), Russia (Novosibirsk), and China (Shanghai).

Currently, Kaspersky VPN is the fastest solution, following major VPN providers in the market, according to recent AV-TEST testing results. The VPN Kaspersky obtained first place among the most-checked categories and demonstrated the extraordinary download capability as well as the transport speed both in local and foreign testing.
