VPN and SmartDNS service provider OverPlay has unleashed the latest version of its SmartDNS app for iPhone and iPad devices into Apple’s App Store. The app has become more user-friendly thanks to a revamped design, making it easier to switch servers. These changes will also make it easier for users to establish secure connections and access streaming content from the hundreds of supported media services such as Netflix, Hulu and others. This app update comes just a couple of weeks after OverPlay’s new website was introduced. The improved iOS application further strengthens the company’s position as one of the premier SmartDNS providers. Android users currently don’t have an OverPlay app to use yet, but it wouldn’t surprise us if OverPlay would release one soon.

Netflix Slowed Down by ISPs, Accelerated by VPN Services
More and more it’s becoming clear that Internet Service Providers are deliberately slowing down streaming services, Netflix not in the least. The latest proof in this is a blog article by Level 3, a company that helps Netflix deliver the content with customers of the streaming service. The article goes in-depth on how Verizon is slowing down Netflix and is blaming Netflix for it. It would take just a little effort for ISP’s to be more streaming-friendly, but their interests keep them from allowing you to stream Netflix at full capacity at 3 MBps. Comcast for instance would rather have you watch its NBC network than content through Netflix. And why should they offer you proper Internet? It’s not like you’re going to run off to a better, more customer- and Netflix-friendly ISP. Read More…

Staying Safe When Using Public Wi-Fi While Traveling
We’re always happy to go on vacation to disconnect from our daily lives (and the Internet) for a few days. Leaving the home and work for some time may be easy, but anyone will agree that saying farewell to the World Wide Web for just a few days is like spending your vacation on Hawaii without a pair of swim trunks or bathing suit. You wouldn’t want to miss out on all the great travel apps on your phone and checking your email on the go would you? And just like you wouldn’t jump into the swimming pool without your swimsuit on, you shouldn’t enter a public Wi-Fi network naked without proper protection.
Identity thieves, hackers, scammers – there are always bad guys out there looking to make money out of your carefreeness. Whenever you’re connecting through a hotspot in a hotel, restaurant, airport or any other public place, you’re putting your privacy and personal data at stake. More than ever it’s crucial to use a trusted VPN service to roam the web during your holiday. Enable your VPN service the moment you’re accessing the web to encrypt your connection, while being able to access whichever websites and online services you want regardless of your physical location. Goldenfrog has a great article up with a number of other great tips related to protecting you digital identity and private data while traveling.
Even if you’re going travelling for just a few days it is wise to think of protecting your digital identity if you’ll be using public Wi-Fi. One of the many free VPN trials available, many of which are valid for three days to a week, can help you out during your vacation time. Most VPN companies also have a money back guarantee for you to rely on in case you want to try a service extensively entirely risk-free. VyprVPN is one provider offering a free 3-day trial, while our other two top-ranked VPN providers HideMyAss and IPVanish boast a money back guarantee and summer holiday promotions to take advantage of to protect your online privacy at a low cost.

CactusVPN Introduces SoftEther Protocol
CactusVPN is taking a different approach on growing its VPN service and does so by introducing the SoftEther VPN protocol to its customers rather than focusing on more servers and IP’s. SoftEther is a brand new protocol that is set to become an alternative to OpenVPN, it was developed as an academic project at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. The new protocol is faster and more secure than OpenVPN, and has everything it needs to take on the currently number one VPN protocol. CactusVPN is now one of the first providers to introduce SoftEther to their service, it is currently available for all Windows users of the company. The company is eager to show off SoftEther and therefore it’s giving a 15% discount valid on all of its plans to celebrate the introduction of the new technology.
Six New Servers for IPVanish Users
After doubling its number of IPs a few weeks back, IPVanish continues the expansion of its network with the addition of six new servers. One server was added in Zurich, Switzerland where the provider already had a server in place, while the other five are all positioned in countries that are new to the company. Ukraine (Kharkiv), Croatia (Zagreb), Greece (Athens), Costa Rica (San Jose) and Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) are the five locations where IPVanish planted its flag over these past few weeks growing its international presence to a total of 52 countries. IPVanish likes to stress the fact that all of their servers are entirely their ownership, so they can fully guarantee their customers’ anonymity. This is also one of the main reasons why we have been ranking IPVanish as the number one VPN provider on our site for over a year now. If you’re an IPVanish customer already, go ahead and write your experiences with these newly added servers in a user review!
ExpressVPN Introduces VPN Server on the Moon
ExpressVPN is stepping things up and is introducing a new VPN server… on the moon. That’s right, ExpressVPN’s tech guys got into a spaceship (so we presume) and travelled all the way to the moon to set up a hyperfast VPN server up there. Planting a flag there is for wimps anyway! The tough girls and boys from ExpressVPN travelled space to provide us with a fast Internet connection from a place where there is no such thing as governments or ISPs snooping your Internet activities. The first users connecting to this new VPN location have signaled that the speeds of this new VPN are totally out of this world. That sums it up nicely if you ask us!
Nice April Fool’s Day joke, ExpressVPN! 🙂
