Quote:Mega announced the launch of a dedicated VPN solution and application for Android. Available exclusively for Pro account customers, the company promises to launch dedicated versions of the VPN for Windows, Linux, macOS and iOS in the coming months.

Mega started out as the successor of the popular file sharing website Megaupload. Today, Mega describes itself as the privacy company that offers a wider range of products. Besides cloud storage, which still appears to be its main product, it is offering tools for chats and meetings, and now also a VPN.

Called Mega VPN, it is available for Android only at the time of writing. Meta Pro plan customers get access to the VPN at no extra cost. The company plans to launch a dedicated version of the VPN that does not require a Pro account in the first half of 2024.

It is too early to tell how well it will compare against established solutions such as NordVPN, Mullvad or Private Internet Access.



The announcement offers some information on the VPN, but it is shy on others. According to Mega, its VPN combines "the exceptional data security standards and practices MEGA is known for with state-of-the-art VPN technology".
