TorGuard's Private VPN Cloud service, known for its robust and versatile remote WireGuard VPN services, has introduced a groundbreaking new feature: Node Linking. This feature provides new value for the service, adding new use cases and a level of flexibility, security, and connectivity.
What is Node Linking?
Simply put, Node Linking allows you to connect two different Private VPN WireGuard gateways, even if they're located on opposite sides of the globe. Essentially, you can now connect two distinct network nodes and enable them to communicate with each other securely within the WireGuard protocol. This means both gateways and their peers will be able to communicate with the linked node, through the encrypted WireGuard tunnel.
Users can share IP subnets, enabling computers across these nodes to interact, all within the shielded environment of WireGuard's secure tunneling protocol. In addition to this innovative feature, you can also apply granular firewall rules to each connection, further enhancing the security and control of your network.
Strengthened Security and Flexibility
Node Linking significantly improves security and flexibility. With the ability to limit who can connect and specify which internal LAN IPs are exposed to the other gateway, you have even greater control over your network. This is a level of customization that's hard to find in other VPN services.
One of the major advantages is that your devices can interact securely as if they were on the same local network, regardless of their actual geographic locations. This feature is not just limited to computers—it can apply to any device connected to your Private VPN Cloud.
Integration with Private Cloud Apps
In addition to enhancing the functionality of the Private VPN Cloud, Node Linking can also be used in conjunction with TorGuard's new private cloud applications. For instance, the popular network-wide ad-blocking software, Pi-hole, can now be linked through Node Linking.
By linking a Pi-hole node, you can route your traffic through it using the internal WireGuard IP. This gives you the ability to take advantage of Pi-hole's ad-blocking capabilities across your entire WireGuard network. This feature keeps your browsing experience smooth and uninterrupted by pesky ads while also protecting your network from potential security threats posed by malicious advertisements.
Use Case
Imagine you have two offices—one in Germany and another in LA—both connected through TorGuard’s Private VPN Cloud. By using Node Linking, these offices can now share resources as if they were in the same building. They can share the same IP subnets, their computers can interact seamlessly, and all this communication happens within the fortified environment of WireGuard.
You can also implement firewall rules to regulate the connections between the two offices. You might allow the German office to access certain resources within the LA office's network while keeping other areas restricted. Node Linking provides this level of control.
Additionally, if you have set up a Pi-hole node on your Private VPN Cloud, both your German and LA offices can benefit from its network-wide ad-blocking capabilities. You can route their traffic through the Pi-hole node using the internal WireGuard IP. This way, both offices get a clean, ad-free internet experience, and are safeguarded from potential security threats from malicious ads.
Conclusion
TorGuard's Node Linking is an exciting development in VPN technology. It offers an enhanced level of security, flexibility, and control over your network. It's perfect for businesses that need to share resources securely between different locations. Moreover, its compatibility with private cloud apps such as Pi-hole adds another layer of functionality, offering a cleaner, safer internet experience.
