VPNs #Network


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I just discovered your site from a lively discussion regarding commercial VPN products at the new home of the macsupportcentral email listserv, ?(the previous host, Yahoo Groups, has apparently changed its business model, doing so without notifying group owners in advance, necessitating scrambles to new homes!

Although there are many recommendations of your site in this discussion, one well-regarded member questions why you choose to be anonymous. I¡¯m curious about the same thing. You may have abundantly appropriate reasons, and a comment on your FAQ page might increase the level of trust people give you, especially since so many commercial VPN products are nearly exact opposites of what they claim to be.

I have two other suggestions:

  1. First, in your tables, freeze the leftmost column. My own html skills are limited to reading it, but I know it¡¯s possible to do it, and the rest of your effort suggests you¡¯d have no trouble doing so. It would make interpreting the data cells easier.
  2. Second, is there some way you could include data about how successful major sites are at harvesting various VPN services¡¯ server IP addresses and subsequently blocking them (or perhaps more useful, how frequently they succumb to those efforts)? That¡¯s the major limitation for me of my own occasionally used VPN service, NordVPN. Major players in the US, at least in the Apple-centric ecosystem (including Apple¡¯s own iCloud mail service and the gloriously useful ?site block entry to incoming traffic that flows through NordVPN¡¯s US servers.

Thanks so much,
