Speeds & Streaming

WireGuard tests show impressive speeds (up to ~740 Mbps), and it reliably unblocks major streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and iPlayer. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}

Special Privacy Tools

Innovative features like SafeSwap (rotating IPs), MultiHop+, SafeBrowse ad/malware blocker, and data breach monitoring set Atlas apart in simplicity and value. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
