Ok, so I am safe with my "something like" characterization then. That particular app is more that a VPN, it primarily tunnels data via alternate protocols. For example, it will have your machine transmit http (or any outgoing protocol you are sending) as all ftp, or all CGI (for example), less likely to be firewalled, then reassembles the ftp to http on its receiving server and vice versa. Only 4 euros a month and their servers are in all different countries, not only France.I don't know. I have never used a VPN but have, on the odd occasion, considered it for one reason or another.
I've used VPNs but only in the corporate world. My take on them is they are slow. I had applications hang, timeout, run like the data was sitting in pancake syrup and jam first, and even crash. Now if these worked this poorly on a corporate infrastructure setup for this, I can only imagine what it's like with the internet-based services. I'm sure this boils down to some applications and services being better than others, but at what cost does this incur?
The all-in-one VPN tunneling, firewall & proxy bypassing, anonymization and anti-censorship solution
As you are one of the most intelligent and informed persons in this forum, this surprised me. That citation tells you it is one solution for 5 things:@deneban,now I am confused. The web link you supplied clearly states, as a heading, "The all-in-one VPN tunneling, firewall & proxy bypassing, anonymization and anti-censorship solution-"
Software reviewers have a limited understanding of telecommunications or else they would have higher paying jobs. The app is a "protocol and port conversion server" processing all your outbound and inbound traffic on the host's "entire" network adapter in order to breech firewalls, breech proxy servers, etc… VPN protocols merely encrypt data, but cannot overcome formidable obstacles like blocked ports and VPN detection. This thing works in conjunction with its worldwide "freedom" servers to seek out, by iteration, what protocols on what ports can go unscathed through the firewall in question. See my modest http/ftp conversion example I explained to John in post #9. The firewall and anyone watching the data stream have no idea what and that your device is sending and receiving. I'm sure there are military versions of the concept.The web sites (there were several) I visited to get reviews of this "service" were all clear that it is a VPN. Whether it operates through your web browser or as an app on a mobile device did not seem to matter.
And in other protocols as well (PPTP, SOCKS5, CGI, FTP, UDP, DNS, and ECHO).That does help with obfuscating data and does get around the blocks since the data is now "regular" data in and out on other ports.
If you are talking about the OP's troubles, I am not even going to begin to guess what his/her government is doing or capable of doing. It may be completely beyond our collective experience. Between your and my suggestions he/she has a running start anywayNow this makes me wonder there might be a couple of things going on here: 1) Could the problem be related to his account being associated with a particular MAC address on his PC?
