This is indeed a significant move by Malwarebytes. It will be interesting to see how this acquisition will enhance their security offerings.

The company said AzireVPN’s strongest feature is Blind Operator, a tool that disables both remote and local access to its servers, preventing unwanted access to customer traffic.

“This creates a barrier against unauthorized modifications and traffic interception, making it virtually impossible for anyone to modify or tap the traffic on its servers and share any information about a user,” Malwarebytes said in a note announcing the deal.

The cybersecurity firm also says that it will continue AzireVPN’s practice of physically owning and controlling its dedicated and diskless servers.

never hurts to make a suggestion to them through the website to shape and form its products.

Has anyone actually tried AzireVPN recently? I actually bought a month today out of interest & it looks like they are working on their website as several advise/adjustment links don't work - I can't get the client to start with Windows & there is no way to change Wiregaurd etc - I'm waiting for a response from their support, it was in the initial support response I found three out of five the links in their email to their site gave not found/404. The Windows Client is nice & simple, its got a lot going for it, so I'll see - I'd be interested of others opinion

I sent of a request to support a week tomorrow & received auto response, I've send a couple more replies to the ticket with no response - I couldn't get a refund if I wanted one as 7 days has passed & they don't seem contactable - However the Windows client is pretty new (latest version 1.9.2) I wish them well & I may get a reply in the future, but if you are considering buying a sub I would suggest you try a month at least for now - Still promising.
