What it saysCopy wiki link

Malwarebytes frames the deal as adding AzireVPN’s VPN technology and intellectual property — above all Blind Operator, which disables remote and local access to servers — to its consumer security portfolio. It commits to continuing AzireVPN’s practice of physically owning and controlling dedicated diskless servers, and states there will be no changes for either Malwarebytes Privacy VPN or AzireVPN customers. CEO Marcin Kleczynski and AzireVPN co-founder William Oling supply the quoted endorsements.
