The Chinese government began blocking some VyprVPN connections on the morning of June 20th around 5am CST. Because our dedicated team of engineers works in-house, they located the source of the block and made the necessary adjustments to restore service quickly.
This is the second blocking attempt from China this month, and the second time our engineers rapidly implemented their resolution. The first block this month came on June 1st, which we believe was a response to the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests. The connection activity chart below illustrates the impact of China’s latest attempts to block VyprVPN and our success in working around these efforts in an efficient manner.

Homeland Security Asked; “No-Logs” IPVanish Delivered, then Sold to StackPath

Blog، In the News، Our Insights، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

IPVanish was busted earlier this week for providing logs and customer information to the United States Department of Homeland Security even though they advertised a “zero-log” VPN service. IPVanish’s response seems to largely blame IPVanish’s prior management for logging and they continue to claim that they run a “zero-log” VPN Service.

Our research indicates that StackPath now owns or provides wholesale VPN service to several other brands: they acquired Highwinds (Owners of IPVanish at the time) seven months after the incident leading to disclosure of an IPVanish customer’s data. Our research further indicates that StackPath now owns or provides wholesale VPN service to several other VPN brands:

StackPath acquired Encrypt.me (formerly Cloak) back in 2016.
StackPath CEO Lance Crosby also publicly acknowledged on Reddit that StackPath owns IPVanish. Based on similarities in VPN network IP addresses and common web code between their websites and IPVanish, it appears StackPath may also own VPN providers StrongVPN and Overplay.
Based on VPN server IP addresses and striking similarities to the StrongVPN application, StackPath appears to provide wholesale VPN service to the recently launched VPNHub.
Highwinds is a known entity to us as a competitor to our sister company Giganews in the Usenet market so we know they operate (or formerly operated) Newshosting, Easynews and Usenetserver. All of those Usenet brands also bundle VPN services with their Usenet accounts. We didn’t take the time to check IP addresses, but does StackPath provide VPN service to those customers, too?

StackPath’s stealth consolidation of several VPN providers raises many questions about their commitment to transparency and to the stated logging policies of the VPN brands they now service and control. To his credit, StackPath CEO Lance Crosby directly addressed the IPVanish logging issue on Reddit, but he didn’t talk about StachPath’s other involvement in VPN services and any potential privacy implications for those customers. It raised the following questions for me:

All of the StackPath VPN providers listed above (except Encrypt.me) advertise a “zero-log” VPN service, so should users be concerned about their privacy with these providers, too?
Why does it take an event like this for IPVanish to acknowledge who they are?
Do the acquiring owners of VPN providers care about user privacy or do they reserve the bulk of their efforts for the bottom line?

Big companies acquiring VPN brands is another big trend we are seeing in the VPN space. From StachPath to Facebook to AVG, companies whose core business is not user privacy buy VPN brands and raise questions about how they will protect their users’ private data. These rolled-up VPN brands do not acknowledge their true owners, because doing so could presumably damage their credibility. The VPN community should demand more transparency from StackPath, because VPN users ought to know who really controls their privacy.

Like China, Russian Censorship Reinforces VyprVPN Pledge for Online Freedom

Blog، Censorship، In the News، Russia، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

A digital Iron Curtain has been steadily rising into position around the cyber borders of Russia for years now, all in an effort to block contact and content from the rest of the online world. In their latest move, Russian lawmakers adopted legislation to impose steep penalties on citizens caught utilizing ‘anonymizing’ privacy tools to circumvent government-sanctioned censorship.
Under this new legislation, individuals who post information or links related to privacy services face fines as high as 5,000 rubles (USD $80). Search engines which fail to align themselves with the Federal State Information System blacklist may result in fines as high as 700,000 rubles (USD $11,300).
Once Roskomnadzora, the media and communications warden for Russia, receives word of a website hosting illegal content, the agency will demand the unsanctioned information be removed. Should the information still be freely available two days after the request, Russian ISPs will block access to the site.
Any VPN services which want to remain active must compromise their morals by forking over user logs and credentials, rendering their service ineffective.
We expect this deterrent will be about as effective as Putin’s ban on Telegram and VPN services in general — that is, not very. Netizens and Internet freedom fighters around the world are accustomed to evasion games, most notably due to the perpetual gauntlet of atrocious Chinese VPN restrictions. Like China, the Russian government is notoriously draconian about personal freedoms.
But VyprVPN has successfully tackled government aggression in China. In fact, we are the most revered VPN service in the region as a result — and we intend to fight the Kremlin’s assault on Internet freedom with the same ferocity for our Russian users. VyprVPN remains accessible from Russia, though Putin seems insistent on captaining Russia down the similar authoritarian waterways online as his Chinese neighbors.

We Aren’t Surprised – Another “No-Log” VPN Provider Busted for Logging

Blog، In the News، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

IPVanish is under fire after a Reddit user blew the whistle on the reality of the VPN provider’s logging policies.  
Back in 2014, IPVanish released a blog post in which they stated they would, “no longer record the connection data we used for limited server troubleshooting.” This was their first claim of being a logless VPN service. However, recently published court documents revealed the so-called “zero-logs” VPN service provided customer details to the United States Department of Homeland Security in 2016 in cooperation with a legal case. 
We aren’t surprised at all at this recent news. We have been very vocal about the dubious claims of “no-log” and “zero-log” VPN providers and the false promise of anonymity that is so pervasive in the VPN industry. We detailed our concerns in our “I Am Anonymous When I Use a VPN – 10 Myths Debunked” article back in 2015.  
Unfortunately, since 2015 there has been land rush of VPN Providers claiming to be the “most, super, non-loggingest, absolute zero-logging VPN Provider in the World” while providing no independent verification that this is the truth. Users want privacy and they want the most private VPN service possible. I do too. But, VPN companies are taking advantage of the market’s desire for privacy and are cutting corners to attempt to fill that market while ignoring the practical realities of running global Internet services. We continue to see evidence that their marketing messages are a lie.

Thoughts on data privacy, what makes a #VPN “an ISP you can trust”, and more in this interview with @vpnmentor. https://t.co/o9Shx8ISu4 pic.twitter.com/eXV06BTb0Q

Internet users already face serious threats from government, Facebook, and hackers that seek to surveil, sell or steal their data. Now Internet users can’t trust the companies that are supposed to protect them? How can we continue to ask VPN users to trust VPN providers in the face of ever-increasing evidence that you shouldn’t trust their marketing? VPN providers that don’t care about privacy and only care about making money are slowly eroding the trust of VPN users. My concern is that users will slowly lose trust in VPNs. The erosion of faith in VPNs and other encryption services is something all Internet users should care about.

VyprVPN Service in China Restored After Latest Round of Blocking

Blog، China، Product، VPN Blocking، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

The Chinese government began blocking VyprVPN connections at 7am CST on June 1st. This blocking attempt was likely due to the impending anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 on June 4th. As with previous blocking attempts, our engineers rapidly implemented procedures which have resolved these blocks and fully restored VPN service to our users in mainland China by 8:30am CST.
Because we own and operate our network, we are able to make swift adjustments to our servers and IPs when blocks like this occur. The connection activity chart below illustrates the impact of China’s latest attempts to block VyprVPN and our success in working around these efforts in an efficient manner.
