NordVPN Offers Emergency VPN as Facebook is Blocked in Vietnam

May 18, 2016. The government of Vietnam shut Facebook down on Sunday. Instagram also appears affected. The crackdown comes amid protests over environmental disaster from a steel complex built by Taiwan¹s Formosa Plastics that caused mass fish death in farms and waters.

As people were using Facebook to organize protests, the government decided to shut social media down to prevent further rallies.

NordVPN, one of the most advanced VPN service providers in the world, introduces Emergency VPN Assistance, freely available to those who need privacy and security online in case of emergency, under extreme duress or threat of physical danger. 5-day free service is granted just by entering an email address, no questions asked.

NordVPN stands up to censorship, and offers an easy solution to bypass any Internet restrictions and to hide one¹s identity online.

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN service links users computer to a server in a country of their choice via encrypted tunnel ­ for example, a person can appear to be in the U.S., while they actually are in Vietnam, and vice versa, simply by choosing a different VPN server location. A VPN service like NordVPN allows a user to substitute their current IP address with the IP address of U.S., for example, so they can connect to any site as if they were in America or any country of their choice.

A VPN encrypts user data through a secure tunnel before accessing the Internet – this protects any sensitive information about a person¹s location by hiding their IP address.

NordVPN does not keep any logs and uses very powerful encryption to route its users¹ online data.  This way users can protect themselves from data tracking or cyber attacks and maintain their anonymity on the Internet whether they¹re using a PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet, gaming consoles or any other device that requires an Internet connection.

For everyone who needs emergency VPN access, NordVPN invites to use free VPN assistance: https://nordvpn.com/emergency-vpn.
