Kaspersky has improved and expanded its list of available VPN Secure Connection capabilities. This includes the Kill Switch feature – which allows customers to spend
time online safely and protects them from risky connectivity interruptions – being
made available for iOS.
The list of available streaming services has also grown, while the range of geographies through which users can route their traffic is also expanding, along with the number of servers.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, people are spending more time at home and using their devices more often. According to a DoubleVerify study, daily time spent on
consuming content online has doubled globally since the start of the pandemic, from an
average of three hours 17 minutes to six hours 59 minutes.
Moreover, streaming services are increasingly beginning to differentiate content geographically, which means that users from different regions may not have access to important news and other content.
This has led to VPN services becoming increasingly popular.
Kill Switch now also on iOS
Kill Switch is a VPN safety feature that automatically disables the user’s internet connection
should their VPN be disabled. This ensures the user’s digital privacy isn’t compromised and
prevents data from being lost.
Thanks to this option, consumers no longer need to worry about third-parties getting information about their online activities.
The feature is now available for iOS, which means that a customer’s personal data is
securely protected on all four platforms: Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. The Kill Switch is
available to users with a premium subscription.
Broadening global availability and improving the quality of communication. In order to widen the availability of the service to users globally, Kaspersky is constantly expanding the number of supported countries.
The Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection now has a network of over 2,000 servers in more than 53 regions and is available across all continents except Antarctica. At the same time, there is at least one physical server in the Kaspersky network in each location.
This has allowed the company to improve the connection’s stability and provide users with a high-quality, fast internet connection.
In 2021, Kaspersky added 19 new regions to the list of available locations. Kaspersky VPN
Secure Connection can currently connect through 53 locations across the world, while there
are plans to grow coverage to more than 70 this year.
