Free VPN from Comodo
In light of the expected post-election crackdown of Internet nuts in our country, I would like to tell you about the free VPN from Comodo Group .
Comodo TrustConnect is an easy to register, install and use VPN service with 128-bit encryption from a reputable company, which, unlike other free VPN providers, you can trust. For those who do not know, such a VPN is very useful when using open WiFi in public places (for example, when visiting sites that still do not have https). Also, using VPN prevents wiretapping and traffic filtering by the provider, bloody gebnoy or admin at work.
So, Comodo TrustConnect provides free VPN with the following reservations:
Works under Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad. You can connect without a corporate client, using OpenVPN.
Yes, for the geek sparsely, but for the average user to sit in McDonald's with free WiFi in VK and ICQ - just right.
We go to the registration page , we enter something into the fields with asterisks, activation via e-mail is not required, a letter with user data simply drops there.
')
We get the license number for the TrustConnect client, as well as a pair of login / password for access directly to the VPN service.
Download the installer client TrustConnect.
Install the client, enter the license key obtained during registration.
Successful license activation.
Connect, enter the login \ password to access the VPN.
The client icon appears in the tray, it is controlled via the context menu, there is even Russian.
In the process of connecting the box on the icon is lit yellow and turns green when a successful connection, displays information about the current IP.
The client can work through a proxy. To obtain an IP address, the DHCP service must be enabled on the machine.
In my case, the traffic goes through the Comodo server in the UK, apparently, as someone lucky.
The claimed speed is 1.5 - 3.0 Mbps. In reality, the average connection speed is less, but quite sufficient for the average user.
While surfing at the top of each page, a banner is displayed here, which is successfully cut using AdBlock (all you need to do is add a custom blocking rule ## div.trustconnect_banner ).
ICQ and XMPP work, Skype does not. With POP3, you can receive incoming messages by email clients. Through the browser, mail services work fine.
On the Comodo account page, you can monitor the remaining amount of free traffic, stare at the visual graphs of its use.
I strongly recommend that you always use VPN in public places when you go to the Internet through public wireless connections - this will protect you from traffic interception and account hijacking (for example, from stealing VKontakte cookies ).
Safe surf!
