Re: 6 month FREE premium VPN service - Be quick!!
Ok so it is up and running the software is, does this mean that anything i do now like browsing etc is through a VPN? and how can i prove this?

Why has this been tagged with "VM Router" and posted to a Virgin Media forum :/

Re: 6 month FREE premium VPN service - Be quick!!
Essentially, yes.
Quote:
1. pretend to be in a country that you are not in (ie: UK, US, Germany, France...)
ie: watch BBC iPlayer from outside the UK or Netflix US/Canada from the UK
2. prevent your employer, government, landlord, "mother" from spying on your online activities.
If you commonly use public/unsecured hotspots, this will keep you safe from people stealing your email/facebook/etc... accounts.

I was forced to tag it with something in order to post it. Secondly this site is not owned, nor run by anyone at Virgin Media.

I posted this link to a friend studiying computer security in Leeds, and his first comment was..
"Free VPN? Who's sponsoring it? MI5? Interpol?"
LOL

You can select blank as the prefix.
Giveaway of the day does sometimes offer halfway decent software. I didn't bother looking at this one though as any free VPN is likely to be abysmally slow plus as has been mentioned you are putting a fair bit of faith in an unknown third party not to harvest your logins etc.

Re: 6 month FREE premium VPN service - Be quick!!
It gets a good review here if that is anything to go by, but i am a novice so you bring up a good point about log ins etc.
I was also concerned how best to add it to my firewall but ended up selecting public.

Some of the servers seem ok some not so much. Although its probably getting a bit of a hammering at the end of the day.
Also since its "free" I wouldn't be using it for anything like logging into accounts etc.
