#SPOTFLUX OPENVPN UPDATE#

Basically it tells me I need to update google chrome (which I am not even using) or download some binary patch that really only is meant for Microsoft users so it doesn't work on my computer anyway. I do live in South Korea so that's why its in Korean. When I enter google in my search function, I am directed to this page strangely

To make things weird, if I use this numerical address in the search cue I in fact get access to the google website IF is the BIG word here, and who is really going to know if it's insecure or compromised? This gets back to the quality of service you are using.For some reason I cannot use Google as a search engine or access its website. If the VPN server you just connected to is insecure or compromised. Snake Oil Concoction #5 вЂ“ Your VPN provides you вЂќWifi ProtectionвЂќ This is true to a point, but you can't simply say there are not countries that are not safer, because there are some countries safer than the USA. Snake Oil Concoction #4 вЂ“ Your VPN Provider is вЂњsaferвЂќ because it doesnвЂ™t operate in the USA Hmm lets see now /var/log/messages, dmesg, /var/log/syslog these record my IP address? LMAOДЄlso logging based on the servers, through a hosting company or any other methods, this so called Snake Oil this is being sold as is just grabbing at straws, because you can never say that 100% this is always the situation with everyone. So having these so called logs, if there is any type of so called logging, we as geeks know that certainly there could be various type of logs going on, but that is also has nothing to do with recording an IP either. This it total BS, no company can with 100% certainty tell you how another company manages their IT infrastructure. The fact of the matter is that ALL VPN providers have to log SOME things, the important thing to figure out is WHAT are they logging and HOW are those logs used. Snake Oil Concoction #3 вЂ“ Your VPN Provider is Safe because they donвЂ™t keep logs

I mean let's get real here, Spotflux has gone out personally and check out how many VPN providers around the world to make this determination? I personally have never seen any VPN company make these kind of claims and I've seen a lot of VPN companies out there around the world, so I don't buy into this, because not everyone does this, and I question what the amount of the 'MANY' providers they're talking about. Many VPN providers claim to save the user bandwidth based on the built in compression algorithms of various VPN protocols such as the commonly used OpenVPN. Snake Oil Concoction #2 вЂ“ VPNs Save You Bandwidth My reply to the above is, well don't log back in some place not on your VPN, after all why would you do this if you're using a VPN? This is really a stupid point! The next time you visit that website without a VPN they will now know that you are the same person that visited earlier that day even though your IP address was different. These are things I read on their site and they're just BS marketing hype! Knowing what a service provides tells you if they know what they're doing. Also if Spotflux knows what they are doing, I'd like to know what OpenVPN files they provide to the end-user for their service.

There are some things I can see that have some valid issues, but I also see some marketing hype. Hi bipolarbuddhist, nice looking article but remember too, Spotflux is selling a service, so like any business out there, it helps to make the competition bad, so that you look better for your business.Д«ipolarbuddhist, do you work for or have any relation to SpotFlux, or have you used their service? Now does anyone know why 1 & 2 mean this could be a problem? Because this is know as a Red Flag for what could be a HONEY POT! Here's something I can tell you WHY you should not use this company.
