VPN인데 안티바이러스까지? NordVPN 숨겨진 보안 기능 총정리

0:00What is the first thing that comes to

0:01your mind when you hear the word VPN ?

0:03You probably think of connecting to

0:05overseas servers , hiding your IP

0:07address , or using public Wi-Fi safely .

0:10However , NordVPN has another

0:11interesting feature hidden away . It’s

0:14a VPN , yet it also blocks viruses and

0:16phishing sites . So how is this possible

0:18, and does it really work and protect

0:20you like antivirus software ? Today ,

0:23we’ll look at exactly what

0:25NordVPN’s next-gen antivirus security

0:26feature does . VPNs and antivirus

0:30software originally serve different

0:31functions . A VPN encrypts your internet

0:34connection and hides your IP address ,

0:36while antivirus software detects and

0:38blocks threats like malware and viruses

0:40entering your computer . But NordVPN has

0:43added a next-generation antivirus

0:45feature to take internet security to

0:47the next level . So , it doesn't just

0:51stop at being a VPN that hides your IP ;

0:53it has enhanced its security to block

0:55all kinds of threats that can occur

0:57while using the internet . In short ,

1:01it’s the difference between

1:02protecting yourself just by hiding your

1:03IP or fully protecting yourself by also

1:05defending against direct attacks from

1:07the web . Then , what exactly does it

1:12block ? A representative example is

1:13malicious file scanning . If you

1:15download a program or file from the

1:17internet that contains malware , it

1:18could be quite dangerous . NordVPN can

1:21scan downloaded files to check if they

1:23are malicious or safe . It works by

1:26detecting files containing malicious

1:28code like viruses , Trojans , or

1:30ransomware in advance . Simply put , you

1:32can think of it as a security device

1:34that double-checks whether it’s okay

1:36to download a file . Next is a feature

1:40that I personally consider to be really

1:43important . It is the feature that

1:44blocks phishing sites and fraudulent

1:46websites . These sites are not a simple

1:48issue that can be solved just by hiding

1:50your IP . It is much more common to

1:52steal information by creating fake

1:54sites rather than sending virus files

1:56directly , such as by perfectly

1:58imitating a bank or shopping mall to

1:59trick you into entering your ID ,

2:01password , or credit card information .

2:04When you try to access such a site ,

2:06NordVPN can determine it's dangerous

2:08and immediately block your access .

2:10Ultimately , you can say it’s a

2:11feature that protects and keeps users

2:13safer not just from malicious files ,

2:15but also from malicious websites .

2:19That’s not all . NordVPN also includes

2:21a feature that blocks ads and trackers .

2:24Have you ever noticed how the products

2:25you search for or the topics you're

2:27interested in seem to follow you around

2:29as ads when you visit websites ? This is

2:31the result of algorithms that collect

2:33your search history and data to display

2:34the most relevant advertisements . It

2:37helps you use the internet a bit more

2:39cleanly and safely by blocking these

2:41ads and trackers . In other words ,

2:44NordVPN's security feature isn't just

2:46about blocking viruses ; it's more like

2:48a next-gen antivirus solution that

2:49reduces various threats encountered

2:51throughout your internet usage , from

2:53malicious sites , phishing , and malware

2:55to ads and trackers . So , can NordVPN

2:59replace your regular antivirus program ?

3:02One thing you must never misunderstand

3:04is that having NordVPN's antivirus

3:06feature doesn't mean you should delete

3:08your existing antivirus software .

3:10NordVPN is focused on blocking threats

3:12that can occur while browsing , such as

3:15phishing , malicious websites , and

3:16dangerous downloads . On the other hand ,

3:19traditional antivirus programs are more

3:21focused on detecting and removing

3:22malware throughout your entire computer

3:24. So , it's hard to see them as the

3:26exact same type of product . To put it

3:28simply , think of a VPN as a security

3:30guard protecting your internet

3:31connection , and the antivirus as a

3:33security checkpoint that monitors the

3:34files or programs coming through . The

3:37antivirus program acts as a police

3:38officer patrolling inside . Will you

3:40only deploy a security guard to protect

3:42the personal information that could

3:43threaten your safety ? Or will you

3:45double down on your safety by

3:47installing a security checkpoint as

3:49well ? NordVPN offers a 30 - day
