Meet Kaspersky’s updated VPN: new Double VPN features and empowering protocols – PRWire

0

Kaspersky has announced a new updated version of Kaspersky VPN, delivering enhanced privacy features and new functionality across Windows and Mac® for the first time. Offering enhanced cryptography, Kaspersky VPN includes state-of-the-art protocols such as Hydra and WireGuard®, for more protected, faster, and reliable transparent connections. The new release also includes a new Double VPN, strengthening privacy protection, making it impossible to read traffic content, or detect user’s IP address or second location. In addition, more than 100 new server locations are available to users, which can be saved as favorites for more convenient and easy access on Windows®, Android® and iOS®

A recent study How and Why People Use Virtual Private Networks shows that respondents use VPNs more for security and privacy, and tend to use VPNs continually. Most participants were primarily concerned about organizations collecting their personal data, as well as governments being aware of private emails, and websites planting malware. Survey results also show protecting and keeping personal data private and secure still is one of the key concerns for users.

With this in mind, key Kaspersky VPN updates include faster reliable protocol capabilities, using Hydra – one of the most powerful protocols available – for industry leading speeds, and now available on any Android-Windows or Mac®-iOS device. The team is also extending use of another important protocol – WireGuard – available on Android, iOS in Q4 2023. 

In addition to OpenVPN, WireGuard also adds more than 100 supported locations worldwide to routers. My Kaspersky also now supports improved flow routing, increases routing efficiency, making online experiences faster and more convenient for users. 

Meet Kaspersky’s updated VPN: new Double VPN features and empowering protocols – PRWire

Double VPN is another significant new feature strengthening privacy protection. When enabled, traffic between the client and the output server is twice encrypted, adding an extra layer of security, thanks to the additional of an intermediate server. As a result, it becomes impossible to read traffic content or detect user’s IP address on the second location. 

Kaspersky VPN users can now select servers in more than 100 locations worldwide, including Bangladesh, China, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, and Russia-Novosibirsk. 

For everyday tasks such as streaming or torrenting, Android, iOS and Windows users have the ability to save their favorite locations for more convenient and easy access, while Kaspersky teams have upgraded available locations by adding 10 Gbps servers.

“We understand that there is always a trade-off between connection speed and privacy protection when using a VPN on a regular basis, which is never convenient – especially noticeable when streaming, gaming or just surfing. We have further developed and improved Kaspersky VPN to answer this and other users’ demands. According to a recent AV-TEST, Kaspersky VPN was first in the most tested categories, and showed outstanding download capabilities and torrenting speeds in both local and overseas testing. With ongoing improvements and increased privacy levels, we aim to deliver best VPN for consumers. We are also glad this is proven by independent tests,” comments Marina Titova, Vice-President, Consumer Product Marketing at Kaspersky.

LAUNCH OF NEW SKINCARE BRAND AIMS TO SET A STANDARD FOR REDUCING WASTE IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY – PRWire

LAUNCH OF NEW SKINCARE BRAND AIMS TO SET A STANDARD FOR REDUCING WASTE IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY – PRWire

The California-based team of seasoned beauty industry experts provides an eco-friendly, minimal waste clay mask.

Los Angeles, CA. November 13, 2023 – Glorio Skin is announcing the launch of the aforementioned brand and a collection of Brazilian Clay Masks, aimed to lead by example how waste can be reduced in the beauty industry.

Located in Redondo Beach, CA, the brand’s foundation of “no waste” is a full process commitment. It starts with the formula using ethically sourced Brazilian Clay where vegetation is replanted after the extraction process. Next, the packaging is made from 100% recycled paper with a reusable silicone applicator. Finally, the production is made in the USA, reducing large carbon footprints from international transport. This results in using 93% less plastic than similar products; 1% product waste and biodegradable packaging that will degrade in 5-6 weeks, being significantly healthier for our environment.

The commitment to clean is continued with single dose applications, which has multiple benefits.

·Sustainability. Our individually sealed treatment packaging is made with 100% recyclable paper materials to minimize our carbon footprint. 

·Potency, Freshness & Hygiene. Each individual treatment is sealed airtight until you’re ready to use. This keeps the product from being exposed to sun, bacteria, and air to protect the product’s potency.  Protecting the product from external exposure eliminates oxidation or drying, and maintains maximum efficacy.

·Metered Dosage. Most consumers tend to lose value in their treatment products by overuse per application.  It’s impossible to measure the exact dosage each time to get the most out of your product. Our individually sealed treatments are premeasured to give the highest level of efficacy without waste. You know exactly how many uses you’ll have with each treatment box.

The launch assortment includes five product offerings, each with a unique Brazilian Clay base and effective skincare benefits. These are Glow, using yellow clay with Vitamin C & Pumice for brightening & light exfoliation; Calm, using purple clay with aloe and oils to moisturize skin; Renew, using red clay with retinol & collagen for anti-aging benefits & Detox, using green clay with Glycolic & Salicylic Acid to unclog pores. The full sizes offer 8 single-use applications with a suggested retail price of $39.99. There is also a Discovery Kit, with a suggested retail price of $14.99, which includes a single use of each full size offer.

By focusing on providing a quality product that has as low impact to the environment as possible, we can make decisions based on what is both best for the consumer for now, and the long term. We believe the beauty industry can be much less wasteful, and we aim to lead by example by offering a product that is both high quality and as little waste as possible.

While the sustainable beauty movement has grown exponentially over the past few years, there are numerous barriers to overcome in the manufacturing process and as brands’ choose to cut costs by using harmful materials versus biodegradable, but more expensive, options. By offering biodegradable packaging, we aim to set a new standard and overcome these barriers.

Follow along on Instagram @glorioskin and TikTok @glorioskin.

ABOUT

The Glorio brand, launching December 2022, is a skincare brand made in Los Angeles, California. We focus on clean, single-dose solutions for healthy skin. Our first collection is a range of scientifically-formulated, clay masks made from sustainably-sourced Brazilian clays that target different skin types and cater to your skin’s every mood.

Next, the packaging is made from 100% recycled paper with a reusable silicone applicator. Finally, the production is made in the USA, reducing large carbon footprints from international transport. This results in using 93% less plastic than similar products; 1% product waste and biodegradable packaging that will degrade in 5-6 weeks, being significantly healthier for our environment.

The commitment to clean is continued with single dose applications, which has multiple benefits.

·Sustainability. Our individually sealed treatment packaging is made with 100% recyclable paper materials to minimize our carbon footprint. 

·Potency, Freshness & Hygiene. Each individual treatment is sealed airtight until you’re ready to use. This keeps the product from being exposed to sun, bacteria, and air to protect the product’s potency.  Protecting the product from external exposure eliminates oxidation or drying, and maintains maximum efficacy.

·Metered Dosage. Most consumers tend to lose value in their treatment products by overuse per application.  It’s impossible to measure the exact dosage each time to get the most out of your product. Our individually sealed treatments are premeasured to give the highest level of efficacy without waste. You know exactly how many uses you’ll have with each treatment box.

The launch assortment includes five product offerings, each with a unique Brazilian Clay base and effective skincare benefits. These are Glow, using yellow clay with Vitamin C & Pumice for brightening & light exfoliation; Calm, using purple clay with aloe and oils to moisturize skin; Renew, using red clay with retinol & collagen for anti-aging benefits & Detox, using green clay with Glycolic & Salicylic Acid to unclog pores. The full sizes offer 8 single-use applications with a suggested retail price of $39.99. There is also a Discovery Kit, with a suggested retail price of $14.99, which includes a single use of each full size offer.

By focusing on providing a quality product that has as low impact to the environment as possible, we can make decisions based on what is both best for the consumer for now, and the long term. We believe the beauty industry can be much less wasteful, and we aim to lead by example by offering a product that is both high quality and as little waste as possible.

While the sustainable beauty movement has grown exponentially over the past few years, there are numerous barriers to overcome in the manufacturing process and as brands’ choose to cut costs by using harmful materials versus biodegradable, but more expensive, options. By offering biodegradable packaging, we aim to set a new standard and overcome these barriers.
