VyprVPN Chameleon 2.0

VyprVPN is getting better every day, with its latest update involving a whole new version of its Chameleon protocol. The updated protocol, according to the company, is made to defeat aggressive VPN blocking in countries like China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia so users everywhere can “access the free and open Internet.”

Why Chameleon 2.0 is important

You’re probably aware that many of the sites we take for granted are not available in high-censorship countries like China. We’re talking about major media organizations as well as social media services such as Facebook, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn. These restrictions leave citizens cut off from the outside world.

To help users access the Internet in its entirety, Chameleon 2.0 harnesses intelligent cloaking technology specifically designed to defeat network blocking and censorship. Since the official Beijing has increased its efforts to censor the Internet in the country, VyprVPN aims to keep Chameleon 2.0 nimble so it can respond quickly to any future challenges from government censorship or VPN blocking. To that end, the company hopes to gather operational data and user feedback to determine the impact and respond with better solutions.

Here are the highlights of the Chameleon 2.0:

  • Improved VPN cloaking so the government can’t see you’re using a VPN.
  • A more reliable VPN connection that keeps you connected for longer.
  • Quick protocol improvements without updating your app.
  • Compatibility with Windows, Android, macOS and iOS.

How to get Chameleon 2.0

Chameleon 2.0 is available to all users who currently have Chameleon. Those who don’t have it yet will need to select a “Premium” account under the current VyprVPN billing scheme. Then, they will have to select the Chameleon protocol option in the app and click/tap connect.

Chameleon 2.0 is still called “Chameleon” in the app and is not shown as a separate protocol, nor does it require any additional configuration.

If you wish, you can send your two cents on Chameleon 2.0 to the VyprVPN team. At the end of the day, all of us get to benefit from the improved app/service.

VyprVPN operates more than 700 servers across 65+ countries around the world. It offers a great service, allowing users to anonymously surf the web, access Netflix and Disney+, download files via BitTorrent, and more.
