What are the system requirements?

The new SSTP VPN service will only work with computers running Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7. For Mac and Unix please see our main site here.

No extra software is required to use our service since the VPN software is already included in Windows. You will need to install our SSL Certificate which is included in the Welcome Pack. After you subscribe, we will send you all the information needed to get started.

The service can be used with all applications including:

• Web Browsers

• Skype, VoIP, Google Talk, Yahoo IM
• ICQ, MSN

No special settings is needed. All internet traffic is passed through our VPN server. Connections speed is up to 100mbit/s and bandwidth is unmetered but the use of filesharing programs (P2P) is not permitted.

How does anonymity work?

This VPN Service allows you to use the same internet provider (ISP) you have and at the same time you remain anonymous in all your surfing by passing your traffic through our servers via a secure encrypted tunnel (Virtual Private Network), so it is impossible for even your ISP to "spy" on you.

When using our service, whenever you visit a web site, send email, chat, ICQ, IRC, FTP, make internet phone calls etc., your real IP address is not provided to the other people involved in the transaction. This is a tremendous measure against hacking. Most hacking is based on using your real IP address, which the hacker won't be able to get. As a result we are in fact acting as a firewall keeping you safe from any abuse.

Your internet provider keeps a record every time you use the internet. Some internet providers save log files indefinitely and may give them to whoever asks with or without a court order and this would mean every web site you visited and everything you did is no longer private... BUT when using a VPN with us, all that your ISP log would show is an encrypted connection to our server.

With our service all internet traffic leaves one of our servers with the same external IP address. All users share the same IP so you can be anonymous.

Does Skype work if it is Blocked?

YES! With a VPN you will be able to use programs like Skype to make calls from regions that block Skype, like cruise ships, and countries like Belize and Oman.

How do i configure my computer?
