Asun Helsingissä joten käytössä on Welhon 110M/5M netti ja saan ladattua Rapidsharesta 12,1 Mb/sec VPN päällä tai ei (eli linjan täydeltä).

Perfect-privacy.com on kallis mutta rahan arvoinen. Eivät pidä mikäänlaisia lokeja, huippunopeudet sekä yli 30 serveriä ympäri maailmaa varmistaa että aina on varaa valita. Jos haluat katsoa Hulua käytät USA palvelinta ja jos haluat katsoa BBC iPlayeriä tai luoda ilmaisen Spotify accountin niin UK palvelinta. Suosittelen ostamaan vähintään vuoden subscriptionin jotta ei tunnu niin kalliilta.

+ Maksaminen onnistuu käytännössä millä tavalla vaan. Paypal, Credit card, webmoney, käteinen etc...
+ Palvelu on myös erittäin kiitettävää. Kertaakaan ei ole mennyt yli 24h saada vastaus kysymykseen.
+ P2P sallittu millä serverillä tahansa.
- Joskus (2-3 kertaa vuodessa) joku serveri katkaistaan datacenterin toimesta sillä noh... no-log VPN tuo spammereitä ja suurta P2P käyttöä ;) Mutta uusi serveri on ylhäällä muutamassa päivässä.

Olen itse mukana erään suurehkon warez sivuston ylläpidossa ja suurin osa admineista ja moderaattoreista käyttää tätä palvelua. Alla on yhden adminin, ehkä hieman pitkähkö kirjoittama arvio palvelusta, mutta jos olet oikeasti kiinnostunut parhaasta palvelusta niin kannattaa lukea.

"So this afternoon I was browsing a website.

Me --> Amsterdam, Netherlands (Linkideo PPTP VPN) --> Chicago, USA (Perfect-Proxy OpenVPN) --> Perth, Australia (SSH2 tunnel, leading to...) --> Moscow, Russia (SOCKS5 Proxy by Perfect-Proxy) --> Hong Kong, China (SQUID Proxy by Perfect-Proxy) --> London, England (Random web proxy) --> website

I could have added TOR to that if I really wanted to.

So far, I am DAMN impressed by this place. A little leery because you need to give login credentials for every connection you make to their servers (I was hoping the SOCKS5 would automatically accept your connection if it came from a Perfect-Proxy IP, but it still forces you to log in), so I'm tunneling my connection to their VPN servers through my Linkideo VPN connection, but I've sent them an E-mail asking for clarification on what logs they keep. If they give me a good answer, I'll be floored. It'll be really hard to give up the security the Linkideo layer gives me, but at around $35/mo if you pay monthly, perfect-privacy.com is a little too expensive to keep up two vpn providers.

Anyway, here's what you get with this place:

* 30 servers worldwide that you can connect to as you choose. Move from Chicago to London to Perth to Tel Aviv to Zurich to Berlin instantly, at will.
* PPTP VPN. This is a VPN protocol that's been built into every Mac and PC OS since about 1998 and takes seconds to set up and use with no extra software. Can use it on your iPhone too. Drawback is that it's not the most secure thing in the world, but isn't bad if you have a good password. They automatically assign a 10-character pass with random letters/numbers/cases so it should be fine.
* OpenVPN. A VPN protocol that is RIDICULOUSLY secure. Not sure how it compares to IPSec (a brand-new internet standard for VPN that isn't widely-adopted yet.. unfortunately this place doesn't have that), but the levels of encryption it uses are pretty crazy. You need a third-party VPN client to use it, but they give you drop-in configuration files for the major ones. I'm using "Viscosity" which is HOT.
* Squid proxy. This is primarily an HTTP proxy (not a web proxy -- I'm talking the kind where you type an IP into your browser's settings and it routes all of your traffic through it) but you can use it for a few other things like FTP if you need it. Not encrypted, but you don't need to be connected to VPN to use it. Unfortunately, it doesn't fully strip out the headers that let websites know you're on a proxy -- but it gives you a random useragent :)
* SOCKS5 proxy. This is a proxy you can send almost any type of connection through. So you can use it in place of Squid as a web proxy, or use it for IM or internet radio or the iTunes Store or anything. Not encrypted (your password is even sent in the clear, just like Squid -- but there's a workaround), but again, no need to be on VPN to use it.
* SSH2 Tunneling. YES. Here's what I do: I run one command to forward all connections going to a certain port on my computer to one of the p-p.com SOCKS5 proxy servers. Then I set my SOCK5 proxy server to be localhost, and that port. Now, when I go to a website and I have to log into the proxy server with my password, it gets ENCRYPTED (along with all my other data) going to and from the socks5 server. You can do the same thing with Squid, or literally any other connection.

The speed is flippin' phenomenal. I OpenVPNed to Chicago (OpenVPN supposedly has more overhead than PPTP, so people claim it's slower) and went o speedtest.net. I got slightly better results on speedtest than I USUALLY do, so speed is NOT an issue when you just want some simple security :) If I connect it to Moscow on the other side of the WORLD I'm still pulling down 138KB/sec (bytes, not bits) and upload, strangely enough, barely took a hit at 77KB/sec (normally capable of about 85KB). Bouncing from here to Amsterdam and back to Chicago puts me at 228KB/sec, which isn't much slower than connecting to Chicago directly. That's a lot slower if I use Linkideo as my Amsterdam stop, though.. mostly because Linkideo is ass.

....

It's official. This place is ridiculously cool. I might just buy a year's worth of service from them once this month expires. In response to my question about logging:

Quote:
we still do not log but we removed the line from our homepage cause
we dont want to scare some data centers, attract spammers and so on ...

No logs, ladies and gentlemen. None. And they're shady about it with their datacenters :D

In the same E-mail, I asked them how they are with logging in from two places at once -- because in their terms they say they'll shut you down immediately without question. I cited that I plan to keep my laptop connected pretty much all the time, but don't want my account to be closed if I forget to sign off before using the VPN on my iPhone or at work. He said the terms sound way more strict than they actually are, and that I'll be fine as long as it's only a couple connections. So *woot* for being able to do whatever I want at work (assuming I ever decide to go back to work for someone else) without network guys being able to see what I'm doing :)

On the getting-together-the-perfect-setup front, this is getting really slick. I switched to Firefox from Safari (long overdue, I know, but dammit I wish Firefox would render with webkit) and got the FoxyProxy extension. FoxyProxy lets you define as maaaany proxy servers as you want, and then you can say which websites should use which proxies. So I'm running all the iPhone sites through Amsterdam, but if I go to hulu or netvibes or anything like that, it'll come from my normal IP (assuming I'm not connected to a VPN). Slick. If I connect to a VPN, I can either click once and turn the proxy off, or I can just keep it up and have two layers of protection. I can click twice and switch everything over to TOR, too :) Sweet plugin indeed.

I came up with a REALLY slick way to run my own SOCKS5 server that dynamically creates a new SSH tunnel for each individual connection my web browser makes. Meaning, I'm not using PP's Squid or Socks5 server -- it just comes out of their server like the request originated from there, and everything I send and receive with them gets encrypted. DEFINITELY the safest non-VPN solution, but unfortunately it's not something that can be automated. And if you connect/disconnect from a VPN while you're running it, it has to be shut off and reconnected. Maybe I'll save it for those special cases.

Anywhere, there you have it. Unless these people aren't who they say they are, this is quite possibly the best service we're ever going to see. "
