NordVPN is creating NordVPN Teams – a VPN solution for businesses

NordVPN is introducing a new VPN solution for businesses, freelancers, and teams

September 10, 2019. NordVPN, one of the most advanced VPN services in the world, is creating a new VPN solution dedicated to business clients. NordVPN Teams will have a full range of features to ensure advanced digital protection and convenience for small and medium businesses, remote teams, and freelancers.

“Even though NordVPN is recognized and awarded as one of the best VPN services, initially it was created for personal needs. However, the number of our business clients is growing every day, and we wanted to create a product that can better meet their needs and expectations. That’s how NordVPN Teams was born,” says Marty P. Kamden, CMO at NordVPN. 

According to NordVPN’s CMO, the company already has almost 15,000 business users worldwide. Most of them are small and medium businesses, NGOs, and remote teams working for big corporations. 

With the new business VPN solution, NordVPN keeps its well known easy-to-use approach. One of the key benefits of NordVPN Teams will be effective access management. Through a convenient control panel, business clients will be able to add team members, create user groups, manage team permissions, select default servers for teams, assign dedicated gateways, and more.

NordVPN Teams will keep some of the best NordVPN’s features, including 256-bit military-grade encryption, Kill Switch, CyberSec, automatic connection on Wi-Fi networks, and award-winning 24/7 customer support with a dedicated manager. NordVPN Teams will be available on all major platforms.

At the moment, NordVPN Teams is going through the closed beta stage. The first public version is expected to launch later this year. Signup for early access is now available on NordVPN Teams’ official website: https://nordvpnteams.com/early-access.

NordVPN is a trusted online privacy and security solution, used by over 12 million internet users worldwide. It offers military-grade encryption with advanced privacy solutions and is recognized by the most influential tech sites and IT security specialists.

NordVPN is moving with confidence towards becoming an all-around cybersecurity solution. Earlier this year, the VPN service provider announced two new tools: NordPass, a new-generation password manager, and NordLocker, a powerful file encryption tool. Business clients will be able to acquire all these products as a bundle.

ABOUT NORDVPN

NordVPN is the world’s most advanced VPN service provider, used by over 12 million internet users worldwide. NordVPN provides double VPN encryption, malware blocking, and Onion Over VPN. The product is very user-friendly, offers one of the best prices on the market, has over 5,000 servers in 60 countries worldwide, and is P2P friendly.

XSEED Games Opens Preorders for Highly Anticipated Remaster

Torrance, Calif. – September 9, 2019 – XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced a retail limited edition of Rune Factory 4 Special, the remastered version of the critically acclaimed RPG simulation title coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system later this winter in North America. This ‘Archival Edition’ will be available for preorder soon for an MSRP of $59.99 at the XSEED Games Store and other participating retailers, while a physical standalone edition will also be offered for an MSRP of $39.99.

Rune Factory 4 Special ’Archival Edition’ is a beautifully crafted collection including an art book commemorating the work on the entire Rune Factory series by character designer Minako Iwasaki, as well as new illustrations for the premium box and art book cover by the artist. Full contents include:

• Physical copy of Rune Factory 4 Special for Nintendo Switch
• 160-page art book measuring 5.8” x 8.2” featuring the works of Minako Iwasaki from Rune Factory 1 through 4, Rune Factory: Frontier, and Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
• Official soundtrack CD consisting of 33 tracks from the original release, plus 3 new tracks
• ‘Swimsuit Day’ DLC that adds an option to have characters appear in their swimsuits
• Premium custom box with original illustration by Minako Iwasaki

Rune Factory 4 Special marks the return of the beloved entry in the popular STORY OF SEASONS spinoff series that combines farming with dungeon adventuring. The original game on the Nintendo 3DS™ system, which has sold over 300,000 copies in North America and Europe, makes its debut on Nintendo Switch in HD bringing the joys of growing crops, raising monsters, and building friendships in an epic fantasy world to players old and new, while seasoned explorers will be delighted to discover features such as a brand new opening movie and the challenging “Hell” difficulty level. Other farm-fresh features include ‘Newlywed Mode’, which introduces special episodes about living the married life with the game’s 12 eligible bachelors and bachelorettes featuring new voices and in-game cutscenes.

About Rune Factory 4 Special

The curtain rises on a beautiful sunny day, as the hero tumbles from the heavens… After being saved by the dragon Ventuswill, the hero comes to live in the local castle as a newly designated ruler and begins life anew while developing the town, making difficult decisions, and cultivating the soil. While exploring a nearby forest, the hero encounters and defeats a monstrous butterfly. Left in the fallen monster’s place is a mysterious young girl. Seeking the answers as to why, the hero’s search for the truth will lead to a grand adventure that will shake the very foundations of their world…and draw them closer to the secret buried in their own lost memories.

In this standalone story, players choose to play as a male or female hero and will encounter a diverse cast of potential suitors and other loveable townsfolk. As the newly appointed prince or princess, royal duties are fulfilled by issuing orders to help the town prosper, or by taking a more relaxed approach to governance by raising crops and helping townsfolk. Should some dungeon adventuring be on the day’s itinerary, a vast array of weapons along with magic can be crafted or bought for battle against dangerous foes—companions or friendly monsters can also join to aid the player during their travels.

Developed by HAKAMA Inc. and Marvelous Inc. and published in North America by XSEED Games, Rune Factory 4 Special ‘Archival Edition’ will be available for preorder soon for Nintendo Switch on the XSEED Games Store and select retailers for $59.99, while the standalone game will be available for $39.99 both physically and digitally.

GAMECLUB’S SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE FOR CLASSIC PREMIUM MOBILE GAMES LAUNCHES GLOBALLY THIS FALL

Experience a library of critically acclaimed classics at your fingertips on iOS and Android exclusively through GameClub

NEW YORK — Sept. 9, 2019 — GameClub today announced it will officially launch its “all-you-can-play” subscription service for the App Store and Google Play this fall. For a small monthly fee, players will have access to an exclusive collection of the very best premium mobile games, free of intrusive ads and in-app purchases, fully updated and optimized for modern iOS and Android devices. Unlike many other game subscription services, GameClub’s games are all downloadable and playable with or without an internet connection.

“Smartphones sparked an explosion of creativity in games, however much of that innovation has been snuffed out by titles that are free to download but often rely on manipulative practices and annoying monetization schemes,” said Dan Sherman, CEO and co-founder of GameClub. “Too many talented game creators have been driven away from mobile and GameClub believes players deserve better.”

GameClub’s content is curated by Eli Hodapp, the former Editor-in-Chief of TouchArcade.com, with input from the community. This is the only place where many of the all-time great mobile games can be found. In aggregate, the games in the GameClub library have been downloaded by over one hundred million players over the past decade. Instead of disappearing, these titles will be accessible to GameClub subscribers and free for users who have previously purchased them. Post-launch, GameClub will also begin releasing new and original premium games.

GameClub will launch globally this fall with at least 50 games and new titles will be added every week thereafter. Announced titles include Super Crate Box (Vlambeer), Legendary Wars (Liv Games), Minigore (Mountain Sheep), Space Miner (Venan Entertainment), Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor (Tiger Style), Mage Gauntlet (Rocketcat Games), and many more. Mobile gamers who can’t wait to play these games can sign up for the GameClub Early Access program at http://gameclub.io to begin receiving pre-launch TestFlight betas and other news about GameClub’s global launch.
