Hi
Ive asked may questions about VPN here - Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully between a few people you can answer all my questions.
Ive been looking at StongVPN, please can you guys help me with a few questions.
I use VPN for public hotspots, online banking, accessing BBCIP from Spain, my second home and downloading gaming patches and software through torrents.
- Who else offers the same service? [maybe cheaper with the same bandwidth / features] Anyone have experience of them? Whats it like? And others - Whats your experience of them?
- Strong offer L2TP & PPTN - whats the difference?
- My Router - can I use the service configured from within? or does it depend on the router? If I do what happens if i find a blocked site?
- The Playstation 3 - is that part of the vpn?
- Will some sites restrict access? Facebook / Twitter / update sites for Itunes / Microsoft etc?
- What sites have you encountered that do restrict access?
- If I get restricted sites can I run the original next to the VPN so I can switch between and still access the restrictions without? Would I need two routers to do this? I dont mind buying two routers? If i do how would I switch between them?
One other thing? - If I use VPN what can the Broadband provider log? Will they just get the traffic to the site? Or are VPNs usually SSL? Is Strong SSL? Are there many that are?
Thanks
Ian
