  "account": "Obscura VPN extends its cutting-edge privacy services to Windows 10 and 11 desktop users, launching a native application that brings its unique approach to digital privacy to a wider audience. The service, recognized for its two-party relay architecture and QUIC obfuscation, now offers users a five-device simultaneous connection limit, a significant upgrade from its previous three-device cap. Obscura is currently extending a 25% discount to existing and new users who apply the promo code WINDOWS26 at checkout. The developer has also hinted at a forthcoming Linux application, as the Windows launch is seen as a response to the high demand from desktop users. Obscura's co-founder, Carl Dong, confirmed that Windows was the most requested platform, and the company aims to make its privacy infrastructure accessible to a larger demographic by supporting both Windows 10 and 11. Obscura's innovative two-relay system ensures that users' online identities remain separate from their IP addresses, while QUIC obfuscation further protects their traffic from detection or blocking. The provider has also recently passed an independent audit, validating its zero-logs policy and the security of its infrastructure.",
