1) Q: Why do I need VPN?
A: There are a lot of cases that you need VPN. Here is a simple writeup.
2) Q: Other than some foreign countries, any other places that monitor your internet traffic or block VPN service?
A: As a matter of fact, there are more places than you can think. Even in US, there are a few places that monitor your internet traffic. e.g. Your work place may provide free internet access. But you are explicitly told that your internet activity is subject to being monitored. If you read the "disclaimer" / "acknowledgement" when you connect WiFi hotspot, you will find some of them explicitly says you are monitored.

In a lot of school and shopping malls, they provide free WiFi. But their DPI firewall also blocks standard VPN. Typically, in such case, you will find that your WiFi connection is cut off right away whenever you try to connect IPsec or OpenVPN .

If you don't feel comfortable being monitored in such places, our HTTPS-VPN dongle is your choice.

3) Q: I notice that some of your products look like Raspberry Pi. Is your hardware board actually Raspberry Pi?
A: Initially, we developed VPN software based on Raspberry Pi series boards. For various reasons (performance, cost, supply chain, etc.), most of our product lines are not using Raspberry Pi boards now.
However, we still sell VPN image in microSD card for Raspberry Pi Boards.
4) Q: Is there a way to try your product before I buy it?
A: Yes,

We plan to provide Raspberry Pi based VPN software image for trial purpose. Basically, you will need to buy your own Raspberry Pi 3 B+ board for most VPN products (exception: Raspberry Pi 0 W for HTTPS-VPN USB Dongle).
After 30-day trial period, our software image may self-destroy. If you like it, contact us for a software license.

At this moment, we only offer trial image for HTTPS-VPN USB Dongle product. It can be downloaded here.

5) Q: Do I have to plug the HTTPS-VPN USB dongle in PC?
A: No, you don't have to plug it in PC. You can plug it in HTTPS-VPN USB power bank and put them in your backpack. Then use your smart phone to connect to the "Personal Hotspot" and manage/use the HTTPS-VPN USB dongle.

Just a heads-up that your wireless link between smart phone and HTTPS-VPN USB dongle may be cut off when you configure WiFi part, e.g. connect to different WiFi network, change hotspot name/password, etc.

6) Q: What OS supports your HTTPS-VPN USB dongle?
A: For "Windows 7", "Windows 10" and "Ubuntu Linux", the HTTPS-VPN USB dongle is plug-n-play. No driver is needed, neither is configuration needed.

For other favor Linux, no driver is needed. But you may need to set up network manually. e.g. run command "ifconfig usb0 192.168.10.2" explicitly.

Mac OS is NOT supported. Please use WiFi to connect to HTTPS-VPN dongle.

7) Q: Most public WiFi hotspot would require a "disclaimer" / "acknowledge", etc. before WiFi connection is usable. Would your HTTPS-VPN USB dongle work in this case?
A: Yes, our HTTPS-VPN USB dongle would work in such case. Before WiFi connection is usable, the VPN tunnel is not created. The "disclaimer" / "acknowledge" page would be automatically forwarded to the device (smartphone / PC) that first access internet. Such device can check "acknowledge" or click "disclaimer" button. After that, VPN tunnel can be created and everything works as it should.

Just a heads-up that, usually such WiFi hotspot would require you to do "disclaimer" / "acknowledge" thing once a hour. VPN tunnel can be blocked after one hour. It will time out and reconnect in about one minute. If you cannot wait, you can login to the VPN UI page. Then disable VPN and enable VPN again.

8) Q: I notice that in the "Advanced --> About" section, the subscription ends in 365 days. What does that mean?
A: Each HTTPS-VPN USB-Dongle comes with 1 year VPN service subscription. The subscription info is in this "About" section. After subscription expires, you have a few options.

a) Buy a new HTTPS-VPN USB-dongle which would come with 1 year subscription.
b) Re-use the HTTPS-VPN USB-dongle and renew VPN service subscription. Email us the 32 byte long string in the "HW Signature" part. We will send you a download link for the software+subscription that only works only on this hardware.
c) Disable VPN and use this dongle as USB-to-WiFi adapter or WiFi repeater.

Actually, there is another option. That is, set up your own HTTPS-VPN server. We have HTTPS-VPN server & client pair combo for sale. email vpn.everyone@gmail.com for further information.
