Disguised + P2P Servers in bitdefender vpn

There was an error rendering this rich post.

DNS tests show that NordVPN is using its own servers, but it also reveals that the traffic has been secured by the VPN. Relying on Google servers like Bitdefender VPN also poses a security risk as it utilizes Google servers instead of its own. So, what's the solution? Do you know of any VPNs that use their own servers with disguised names to conceal the usage of VPN traffic?

bitdefender vpn's report :

what do u say @Flexx , @Scott & @Alexandru_BD ? i think we may add this feature in the bitdefender vpn as it ll be the 1st ( i think ) which ll ve such robust security.
bit vpn stopped working for my country as it starts creeping while browsing streaming since few days, i think the countrywide firewall and heavy surveillance is the reason ( as many countries face ) if we could add P2P in the protocol's list here :

Then it ll provide the Stunning speed like Nord vpn's P2P :

it ll help streaming,downloading,uploading & browsing as well with it fully supported Anti virus named as bitdefender. Using nords security measures can generate conflicts with bitdefender and can make the system heavier as well, and nord vpn can not be a substitute of an A.V. , if we ve to use both of them then it ll be heavy budget to afford for many users. i ld like to upvote the ideas you like ( asking the whole community ) and Alex may forward it ( if agreed ) to the devs☺️.
The current situation of bitdefender vpn is mentioned below :

bitdefender vpn's speed test :

The users do need P2P as provided by the nord vpn.

This is to let you know that VPN services in India (my country) have been permanently banned by the Indian government. Due to this, the VPN servers listed under India are not physically located within the country. Instead, they are hosted in nearby regions or other countries to provide users with a virtual connection to an Indian server.

This change ensures that users can still access content as if they were in India, but it’s important to note that these servers are outside Indian jurisdiction and are not subject to the country's local data retention or monitoring policies.

For more context, there was also an article on the Bitdefender blog regarding this:

https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/india-pushes-ahead-with-new-cybersecurity-rules-for-vpn-service-providers

And since the Bitdefender VPN does not collect any activity logs or connection logs and the company strongly supports this 'no-logs policy' to fully ensure privacy for its users, in light of these regulations some adjustments had to be made for India, so the servers are no longer located there physically, but they are virtual servers 'plugging in' Indian IPs so the users can actually connect.

@Flexx

Thanks very much for this eye-opening information. Pakistan has also tried to ban VPNs, with exceptions for freelancers & the companies who register them with the government. However, this attempt was overturned by the judiciary. Subsequently, the government implemented a countrywide firewall under the pretext of national defense, without disclosing any details about its operation or effectiveness.

This firewall has resulted in significantly slower internet speeds, severely impacting the livelihoods of freelancers who contribute to the country's economy through online work. Social media platforms and their associated businesses have been severely impacted, leading to economic hardship and an exodus of skilled workers.

The government banned X (formerly known as Twitter) to silence journalists critical of the current regime. As journalists began using VPN services, the government launched this firewall to control all social media platforms, effectively restricting internet access for a significant portion of the nation.

Hi @Rock.87 :)

Just a thought, you've been here since Feb. of 2024 and you already have 73 discussions (threads) posted, including another new one today? Just thinking again, LOL, but maybe choose your discussions a little more prudently, as to not distract from other members threads posted. It can just be me, and you can Flag me and report me if you want, I have no problem with that, but I just thought I'd mention it :)

Kind regards.

@ScottYou are in my good books, comrade😀. There is nothing to report about you. The previous post aimed to inform both Bitdefender staff and community members about the VPN outage in my country. This information can be valuable for others facing similar issues and potentially insightful for the Bitdefender VPN team. My thread titles clearly indicate the topic, and there's no intention to deceive. Users can simply ignore threads that don't interest them. My contributions focus on issues or seek information about the product. If they were irrelevant, they could have been rejected. However, they were acknowledged. I will not continue to participate if there are no issues or suggestions to address. I am merely engaging with the forum as other members do. The number of threads is less important than the significance of their content

@Rock.87 your comment was eventually posted and duplicated.

@Rock.87, I have now removed your duplicate comments in this post. Additionally, I want to inform you that the forum's spam protection filter may randomly flag certain words in a comment as potential spam, activating the spam protection feature. When this occurs, the post is sent to a queue for approval before being published. Moderators or the forum admin handle the approval process, and once approved, the comment will appear in the post. This is not a cause for concern, as even my own comments have been flagged by the spam protection feature, and I had to manually approve my own comment 😂

True, and there's the flood control setting as well, and this can prevent posting succesive comments rapidly one after another.
