I run a VPN provider. What can I do to separate myself from the competition?
Basically up to scale with major providers as far as features go, and I undercut the fuck out of them.
What kind of tech can I implement to set my company out from the rest?
It's less about tech and more about the (perceived / potential) user experience.
Make sure you know your paranoid users and market yourself accordingly.
Support anonymous payment options (cryptocurrencies, gift cards, cash in the mail, etc)
Keep changing out IPs so that I can shitpost on Sup Forums.
Yeah we have pretty much standard UX
Braindead walk through of apps a child could use for all platforms
I'm just thinking there has to be some sort of tech I could rebrand? Lots of providers use double encryption, kill switch etc and rebrand it as something else to appeal to users. Would prefer to have something "new" since we have all those features anyways.
Mid-way through coding bitcoin checkout, had it before but recoded everything.
Just using dedicated IP's right now, cheaper and less of a headache
Kill yourself and stop scamming people.
I'm not scamming, i'm providing a service that is actually useful to some people. PS I set up the whole fucking infrastructure myself and we don't log shit, really. You would be surprised how personal and loyal some of my customers are.
So what you gonna do when someone uses your service for illegal activity?
Ban them, send the very little data I have stored to authorities if required to. Trigger my warrant canary if warranted.
>inb4 op is liable
stfu
>Ban them
How would you ban them?
>very little data I have stored
If you can identify that user for a ban that you store enough data.
"We don't log shit", my ass.
>*then you
Whats the name of your vpn so i can support you
How you gonna send data when you dont log, my man?
Stupid kike BTFO.
All VPN services are a scam.
China here. The chinese government are cracking down on VPNs - rebrand the whole thing so that users have deniability when talking to police. Allow payment through chinese cards, if your website is blocked here, make another for chinese users (most Chinese ones do already). You could also offer to block ads on your end.
hello china
Ni hao, motherfucker.
Just use a VPS.
Too easy to block.
Why would they block it?
Because it's illegal to circumvent the Great Firewall. Technically.
Just host some shitty Wordpress blog about China. There, you have a legit use for a VPS now.
>becoming a journalist in a communist country
I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
>a journalist
>wordpress blog
lol
>2001+16
>Google "Chinese blogger arrested"
Oh no wait, google is blocked here.
We don't murder bloggers like the Russians, but it's still not a great idea.
You do know that nobody forces you to criticize China, don't you?
You don't have to criticise China. The state is still worried about anyone publishing information who isn't controlled by the state. They'll harass you, ban you, and make it difficult for you to work.
If this shitty wordpress blog is just a cover for circumventing the firewall, they'll investigate you and catch you anyway. This is why we need you, VPNman, to do all the crime so we don't have to.
Make a hello kitty and hot wheels version to teach kids how to defend themselves from early age on
Maybe at option that let's you use locally (to you) cached files for commonly accessed files / pages so they are served faster.
Pretend you helped refugees
VPS is pretty fucking expensive compare to VPN desu
What are you talking about? VPS is significantly cheaper.
make your site work with plain html and css
dont force javascript for signup or to view basic information
create multiple subsidiary brands repackaging your service for different target demos
e.g., one that targets people who use vpns to circumvent regional content restrictions, another for people who are super paranoid,etc.
Stop giving that kike free advice.
Make sure you don't disclose your users data to anyone, include that in your T&C's under no circumstances. We need VPN providers we can trust nowadays.
you should offer a unique static ip for an extra buck or so
this is a feature im looking for at least
>significantly
i havent found not one single vps that offers unlimited bandwidth (or at least 10TB+ a month) for less than $5 a month and doesnt kick you off for torrenting
...
useful for private trackers and "safely" relaying traffic to home servers
>unlimited bandwidth
Most of them cap it, not disable your service. My VPS caps it at 100 mbps.
>doesnt kick you off for torrenting
Romania..
i dont mean port speed i mean bandwidth
i transfer over 6TB of data a month and all vps services i've found that are cheaper than a vpn alternative limit bandwidth to 1-2TB a month or significantly limits speeds after a couple of TB
...
which host? also server locations?
Be cheap.
Let's not kid ourselves, everyone looking for a VPN goes for the cheapest possible option that looks remotely safe.
why would I use your service when I can buy a cheap vpn and setup my vpn server?
Hostmaze, Romania.
>WE ALLOW: IRC Servers, VPNs, Tunneling (GRE), Torrents and Adult content (except Child Pornography). /all ports are unlocked.
plausible deniability
thx
If you're going to do crime buy a SSH.
How about private stealth vpns?
Individual vm and fixed ip for every user, shadowsocks or openvpn over shadowsocks or openvpn over stunnel to bypass GFW and fake (mirrored) website with legit domain name and TLS cert to fool corporate IT guys.
Full ssh access to a vm and small storage (10-50gb via sftp) will be nice too.
>i havent found not one single vps that offers unlimited bandwidth (or at least 10TB+ a month) for less than $5 a month and doesnt kick you off for torrenting
Try harder.
>300mbit (100+mbit all day long when used as vpn), 8tb cap, 1tb of storage for 4eur
>buy a SSH
wat (꒪▿꒪)
Suck a nigger dick
I don't know shit about vpns but i use one (cisco anyconnect is the provider) in order to work from home sometimes and the one problem i have with it is that once I connect I am unable to disconnect/reconnect without a full restart.
NAT VPS gives you plausible deniability.
Implying I will tell fuckers on this board which VPN proviider I use so they can fuck up the bandwith by downloading weeb movies or worse, blacklisting them with their CP shit.
Is there static port forwarding?
Need VPN for my QNAP NAS running torrents.
Why this all hoopla over VPN?
Are VPNs meant for "paranoids" & for those suffering from known or lesser known Mental sickness?
Why would BIG-BROTHER watch over the novice Netizens?
By falling for 'VPN trap'....one is sure to hand over the 'Spying pass' to the VPN service provider!
Too tired of VPN-less scare mongering! Whufff...!
I'll still use ProtonVPN though.
Basically a hacked PC. No clue why is it called a SSH.
NON SHIT SOFTWARE
every fucking VPN provider has straight shit software
