What is Enhanced Security?

Enhanced Security is a valuable tool that want to enhance their online safety and privacy. It serves as an intermediary between the end user’s device and the external internet.

When a mobile user connects to the internet using an MTX Connect eSIM with Enhanced Security activated, the user's traffic never leaves the MTX Connect network. All user requests are initially redirected to the MTX Connect secure backbone before entering the internet. As visited network operators route all MTX Connect traffic through its dedicated Access Point Name (APN) and the traffic is encrypted using Enhanced Security tools, neither the visited network operators nor local entities responsible for monitoring and filtering user content can access user data.

How Enhanced Security Helps Users Stay Safe Online

Encryption of Internet Traffic

MTX Connect Enhanced Security encrypts users' internet traffic, making it unreadable to potential attackers or eavesdroppers. This encryption protects sensitive information, such as login credentials, personal data, and financial details, from being intercepted by malicious actors.

Secure Connection on Guest Mobile Networks

When users connect to a guest mobile network, their data can be vulnerable to hackers or eavesdroppers. MTX Connect Enhanced Security creates a secure connection, preventing unauthorized access to users' information.

Anonymous Browsing

MTX Connect Enhanced Security masks users' IP addresses by replacing them with the IP address of the MTX Connect Secure Backbone, located in Luxembourg. This helps anonymize online activities and makes it more difficult for websites, advertisers, and malicious entities to track users across the internet.

Protection from ISP Monitoring

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can monitor users' online activities. MTX Connect Enhanced Security encrypts the traffic between the user and MTX Connect Secure Backbone, preventing the ISP from easily tracking and logging user behavior.

Preventing Tracking and Targeted Advertising

MTX Connect Enhanced Security can help users avoid being tracked by advertisers and other online entities. By masking the IP address and encrypting internet traffic, MTX Connect Enhanced Security makes it more challenging for advertisers to build detailed profiles of users for targeted advertising.

Protection from Cyber Threats

MTX Connect Enhanced Security provides an additional layer of protection against cyber threats, such as man-in-the-middle attacks. By encrypting data, MTX Connect Enhanced Security makes it difficult for attackers to intercept and manipulate the information exchanged between users and websites.

Avoiding Censorship

In countries with strict internet censorship, MTX Connect Enhanced Security can help users access blocked content and circumvent censorship by routing their traffic through servers located in regions with more liberal online policies.

Securing Online Transactions

MTX Connect Enhanced Security adds an extra layer of security to online transactions by encrypting financial and personal data, protecting users from potential cybercriminals attempting to intercept sensitive information.

FAQ:

Q: What is the difference between MTX Connect Enhanced Security and a regular VPN service?

A: While both Enhanced Security and VPNs encrypt your internet traffic, there are key differences:

• Built-in at the network level

Enhanced Security works directly within the MTX Connect infrastructure. No external apps, logins, or extra configurations are required — protection is automatically enabled once you are connected via your MTX Connect SIM/eSIM.

• Dedicated and optimized backbone

Traffic is routed through MTX Connect’s own secure backbone, not through third-party VPN servers that may be overloaded or less reliable.

• Consistency & stability

Enhanced Security is designed specifically for MTX Connect customers, ensuring stable roaming performance across countries. A standard VPN may cause slowdowns or conflicts with mobile operators.

• No server selection needed

VPNs often require you to pick servers and manually manage connections. Enhanced Security automatically chooses the most secure and optimal route for you.

• Trusted provider

Your data stays within MTX Connect’s ecosystem instead of being routed through unknown or commercial VPN providers that might log your traffic.

Q: Is Enhanced Security included with my MTX Connect plan?

A: No. Enhanced Security is a separate premium service that costs 50 EUR per year.

Q: Does it work on any MTX Connect SIM/eSIM?

A: It only works on the SIM/eSIM where it has been activated.

Q: Will it protect me when I use Wi-Fi?

A: No. Enhanced Security only works when you are connected to the internet through your MTX Connect SIM/eSIM.

Q: What happens if I turn off my MTX eSIM or switch to another provider?

A: Enhanced Security will be automatically disabled. The MTX Connect app will keep trying to re-enable the protection until you reconnect using your MTX Connect SIM/eSIM.

Q: Will my internet become slower?

A: No significant slowdown should occur. The system is optimized for speed and stability while maintaining security.

Q: Do I need a separate VPN app?

A: No. Enhanced Security works directly within the MTX Connect infrastructure, without requiring additional apps.

Q: Can I choose the server or country for my connection?

A: No. MTX Connect automatically selects the most secure and optimal route for your traffic. Regardless of where you are, your internet traffic will always exit through the MTX Connect Secure Backbone in Luxembourg, and your visible public IP address will be a Luxembourg IP.

Q: Does it protect me from viruses or malicious apps?

A: Enhanced Security protects your connection, but not your device itself. We recommend using antivirus software as an additional safeguard.

Q: Can I use Enhanced Security worldwide?

A: Yes, it works in all countries where MTX Connect provides roaming services.
