Promo link: https://www.liquidvpn.com/free-vpn-account/

LiquidVPN, a VPN service provider offering access to anonymous VPN service that gives users Internet security and anonymous web browsing, announces its new Facebook promotion. To receive a free VPN account for life and get access the same servers their paid customers access, new customers can "like" the LiquidVPN Facebook page. Paid users can also receive a 25 percent discount off of the life of a subscription using the promo code "Privacy25."

In addition, LiquidVPN has recently released a new version of its VPN client for both Windows and Mac. This new and custom Viscosity client offers users one Windows and one Mac license for free. LiquidVPN has also begun accepting Bitcoins as a form of anonymous payment so users can keep their personal and private details even more secure.

VPN services are recommended for anyone concerned with protecting their private data while browsing the Internet or sending emails. The software protects users against unwanted data breaches that threaten their most sensitive information. For anyone who regularly uses guest networks in schools and offices, accesses Wi-Fi hotspots, downloads files or travels with their computer, using a secure VPN ensures all data will remain safe. By offering access to a free VPN account through the new Facebook promotion, Internet security and peace of mind is now available to everyone.

"LiquidVPN protects your privacy by encrypting data being sent and received using military grade encryption," explains an article on the LiquidVPN website. "Hackers, ISPs, governments and companies can intercept your e-mails and instant messages if you are not using a good VPN provider or because you are using a free PPTP VPN service of ill repute. Using our VPN client, your passwords, browsing activity and e-mails will look like gibberish, rendering them worthless to eavesdroppers and data sniffers attempting to intercept unencrypted data."

LiquidVPN's software is simple to setup and is then available to start using almost immediately. Several paid packages are offered including pro VPN service, which offers multiple sessions and unlimited data available at one month, six month and one year increments.

Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world. It prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many common existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol. Here is how to use Tor with Firefox.



1. Download and install Tor. Make sure you get the bundle that includes Vidalia and Polipo.




2. Install Torbutton for Firefox. Make sure you get it from here and not from the Tor bundle if yours includes Torbutton.



3. Restart Firefox.



4. Open up Vidalia and start Tor. On systems that work with the Vidalia GUI, just click Start Tor to do that.



5. You should see Torbutton's icon in the Firefox status bar. Once Tor is running, click it so it turns green.



6. Enjoy Tor! To stop using Tor, just click the Torbutton icon again. To completely stop Tor, go back to Vidalia and click Stop Tor.

Internet users who look to torrent sites like The Pirate Bay and Kat.Ph for their music and movie diversions are being forced, because of increased security measures, to hide their online activity, lest they risk legal action from copyright holders. While some users have opted to launch their own virtual private networks (VPN) or pay to have their Internet traffic redirected overseas, others have subscribed to the simple proxy service BT Guard.

People are most often caught pirating content with their IP address, which can be likened to an individual computer’s fingerprint. To download a torrent movie file, one links to seeds (who are hosting the file) and peers (who are downloading it simultaneously). Both peers and seeds are able to see one’s IP address and other details about the download location, such as the city.

The flawed strategy used by copyright enforcers of finding and suing torrent users based on their IP will now be joined by the six-strike policy, which allows Internet service providers to throttle a customer’s connection for using too much bandwidth (which would coincide with downloading large movie files).


This is where BT Guard comes in. The legal service simply re-routes one’s Internet traffic through a different IP address, making the true source nearly impossible to identify. A torrent proxy through BT Guard costs $6.95 per month (or $59.95 for 12 months), while BT Guard’s more elaborate VPN costs $9.95.

It’s quietly found favor with Internet users since being founded in 2008, capitalizing on a needed service. After installation a BT Guard customer can go to CheckMytorrentIP.com and download a test torrent. There, if everything is correct, someone downloading a file from New York should see their IP source listed somewhere in Canada or the Netherlands, foe example.

“At the time of the initial review, BTGuard was just a basic proxy service that you had to configure yourself. Now BTGuard is a cinch for anyone to use with our easy-to-install software. BTGuard also went through some serious bandwidth upgrades & optimization to provide the best possible reroute speeds,” a BT Guard founder told TorrentFreak.

The setup – best described by Lifehacker – is even easier, but at times BT Guard is too good to be true. Frustrated subscribers often to take to Twitter to complain about faulty service, and Reddit is populated with questions about dropped connections.
Tunneling a torrent through BT Guard also slows down the download, possibly from a minute-to-minute download to days. The Best VPN blog blamed the waiting game on overloaded servers.
Customer service questions often go unanswered, an especially frustrating problem for users trying to navigate the underground world of anonymous Internet traffic. One Reddit user described their frustration in a discussion forum on the subject.
“I can confirm this. I used their BitTorrent proxy for a while, then tried to upgrade to their VPN. They have no way to upgrade, or even cancel the proxy service so you can subscribe to the VPN, programmatically, you have to email them and have them do it manually,” the person wrote in January.
“I emailed for several weeks about this and got zero response, including my spam folder. Eventually the only way out was to stop payment. No way I was going to upgrade after that.”

With TunnelBear you can easily flip a switch between using either a U.S. or a U.K. VPN server, and to start with you get 500MB of monthly bandwidth allowance. If you’re willing to promote TunnelBear with a tweet you can earn an additional 1GB each month that you post something about them to your Twitter account. If you decide to upgrade to an unlimited plan it’s surprisingly cheap at just $5 per month or $50 for a year.

One of the important things to consider with a service like this is the performance you’ll get. I’d say in my tests the speed isn’t too bad. I am in the United States, and when using the U.K. VPN I received 4.1Mbps down and 1.3Mbps up. That’s not bad considering the distance between my house and the server I was connected to. When using the U.S. VPN I received 10.1Mbps down and 3.6Mbps up. Neither of them were able to come close to maxing out my home internet speed, but if you were looking to just do some music streaming those speeds should probably be good enough.

Free VPN Services / SecurityKISS Tunnel Free VPN
« on: February 10, 2013, 10:31:38 PM »
Although there are many free services, most of them have very less monthly bandwidth. SecurityKISS is an awesome free VPN service for Windows which offer best features. SecurityKISS Tunnel is a VPN  implementation based on OpenVPN. Once of the unique features of the app is that its very simple to use and does not require any registration or user account.



All you need to do is to start the app and click on the connect button and the app connects to the VPN. The service provides you with 300 MB per day in the free plan. Although the free usage is small for a full time internet user, it still is very good compared to other free VPN services. We checked the speed available and it was really good.

The best feature of this VPN is the ease with which you can get started with the service. You can also change the VPN server using the app interface.



The free version has five servers listed, with 2 in US and UK and one in Germany.

Overall SecurityKISS service was pretty good.

Any chance of a guide to setting up a VPN on a Motorola Xoom that has been upgraded to Icecream Sandwich, 4.0.4 ?

No problems before but now, after upgrade, it requires one to supply Identity information.

Edit: Problem solved, one has to enable screen lock.
