Why is IXON’s VPN connection set up different from traditional VPN providers?

IXON uses a redundant global VPN infrastructure, that is easily scalable, opposed to a traditional single-server VPN architecture. This ensures that you can connect from every device anywhere in the world to a nearby VPN server, ensuring a fast and stable connection.

How do you ensure a secure VPN connection if you keep connecting from different devices to different servers every time?

When you press the “connect” button in the IXON Cloud, you will initiate a VPN connection by setting up a new encrypted single-use VPN certificate every time you start a new connection. The security benefit of this setup is that your VPN certificates will never be available for long and will never be outdated. You also don’t need to worry about installing the VPN certificate, as it happens automatically in the background.

Is it secure to provide VPN certificates only protected by passwords?

Being able to constantly update the VPN certificate offers security benefits compared to keeping the same VPN certificate, as hackers will have less time to hack and abuse a certificate. Our user passwords are protected by password hashing and brute force protection. We also recommend implementing Two-factor Authentication as an additional security step. This will ensure optimal VPN security because you have several layers of protection.
