Frequently Asked Questions
Get help and answers to your questions regarding anything related to our vpn server setup and best practices to stay safe online, unblock websites and services, and browse the web anonymously.When should i use a VPN server ?
There are many reasons to use a VPN server, First, it secures your internet connection on non-secure networks such as the airport or coffee shop. Second, it encrypts all your traffic so no one will ever be able to find out your browsing habits or passwords. Third, you become anonymous online and your real identity is never revealed. Fourth you can bypass any restrictions or censorship on the internet safely.What does the ISP see when i connect to your VPN ?
Your ISP will never be able to tell what you are doing while connected to the VPN, that is because all connection transmissions are encrypted via strong encryption (AES, SSL) methods relied on by all the biggest corporations in the world, it is virtually unbreakable and your ISP will only know how much bandwidth you are using, but never learn or make sense of any of your traffic.Should i use PPTP or OpenVPN ?
PPTP (point to point tunneling) vpn should only be used if you want a quick way to unblock a website, such as youtube or google, however for the best protection possible, it is recommended to use OpenVPN as it is a much newer protocol that uses the best encryption methods known to date that would take the best super computers in the world millions of years to crack. Therefor if you are accessing any sensitive data, it is recommended to use OpenVPN.Should i use SSTP or OpenVPN ?
SSTP stands for Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol. SSTP provides users with a mechanism for the transportation of PPP or L2TP traffic through an SSL 3.0 channel. Using SSL over TCP port 443 enables SSTP to pass through just about any firewall or proxy server that could reasonably be encountered. SSTP was created by Microsoft.SSTP VPN and OpenVPN both make use of high standard encryption. Thus they are both able to readily bypass firewalls through the use of common ports like 443 or 80. Thus it’s virtually impossible for these advanced protocols to be blocked. It can only be done by making use of a deep packet inspection. But most networks are not equipped for this. This means that both SSTP and OpenVPN will generally both be capable of penetrating any reasonable firewall you might encounter, nine out of ten times.
