We have updated our Mumble server hosting with a web admin making it easier to host your own voice server for you to communicate with your friends while gaming. Excellent for World of Warcraft, FPS games and any group based online game!
Take a look at our updated page here.
We have changed the IPT password and will be sending details to your e-mail shortly. The process to get the new password should now just be a matter of reading the e-mail (and checking your spam box if you didn’t receive it).
Hotmail users and Yahoo users will tend to have these details delivered to spam.
Be responsible, play nice and everyone wins! Thanks!
Many people have asked us to implement PPTP VPNs due to its native support for IPhones/IPods. However we have remained reluctant to do so for administrative and also security issues. It appears now however for those of you with a jailbroken IPhone/IPod, you can try using GuizmOVPN which seems to have a nice GUI for these things.
I haven’t given it a go yet though there seems no reason why it would not work with the BolehRoute or US-SurfingStreaming options!
Anyone who can draw up a guide on this with screenshots will have my gratitude and a free month of VPN! Thanks!
PS: Thanks to Freeman for bringing this to my attention.
Live Chat was supposed to shut down when there was no one around but it appears that it kept its ‘online’ status thus making it seem that we’re ignoring you.
Apologies for this and we are working to fix this error.
We have always been an advocate of OpenVPN despite it being less well supported on devices such as the IPhone/IPad and it being a bit more tricky to setup. One of the main reasons of this is that PPTP has been criticized as being less secure and stable and it looks like we were right:
Since the slow introduction of internet monitoring systems around the world began, more and more people have attempted to preserve their privacy by signing up for VPN services like the Pirate Bay’s Ipredator and Pirate Party offering Relakks. But it turns out that there’s a gaping security flaw in these services that allows individual users to be identified.The finding was announced at the Cipher conference in Sweden. The flaw is caused by a combination of IPv6, which is a new internet protocol due to replace the current IPv4, and PPTP (point-to-point tunneling protocol)-based VPN services, which are the most widely used. IPv6 is enabled on many computers, and you may well be using it without realising.The flaw means that the IP address of a user hiding behind a VPN can still be found, thanks to their connection broadcasting information that can be used to identify them. It’s also relatively easy to find a MAC address (which identifies a particular device) and a computer’s name on the network that it’s on.It’s possible to re-hide yourself by switching IPv6 off and going back to IPv4, but that does mean losing the benefits that it offers. It’s most dangerous because many users aren’t aware of the issue, so it’s likely that administrators of VPN networks may end up having to warn their users, and offer instructions on how to turn off IPv6. It’s thought that the Swedish anti-piracy bureau could already be gathering data using the exploit.One alternative to PPTP is OpenVPN and offers a number of advantages, especially as it’s free and open-source. It’s more secure than PPTP, and more stable too, though it doesn’t work on mobile devices natively and isn’t quite as easy to set up on a computer, especially older machines. OpenVPN also has the advantage that it’s often not blocked in countries where PPTP systems are blocked.Of course, if you’re thinking of using a VPN, remember that you’re essentially giving a third party company access to all of your private information, rather than a government. At the end of the day, that could be a far larger security hole than anything else, so be careful who you trust with your data.
We are updating our server lists.
You can obtain the latest configuration files by:
Gurren, a VPN server will be swapped with BolehFiles for economic reasons as BolehFiles is a less used server although it’s more powerful. We will update the IPs when this is complete.
Both servers will be down while this takes place sometime tonight.
Update: Both servers have retained their original configurations but BolehFiles is now opened up to VPN access as well due to low utilization.
Following our previous post that we are replacing some servers, the first server we have bought is a German server and will be brought online over the next few days. Please vote on choice of name!
For background information, besides the name ‘Rebirth’, all the rest are names of German aces:
Manfred Richthofen (also known as the Red Baron): The ace of aces of World War I with 80 combat victories
Werner Voss: an amazing aerial acrobatic German ace who faced off almost single-handedly with 8 enemy aircraft. 48 combat victories.
Erich Hartmann – highest scoring fighter ace in the history of aerial warfare with 352 victories.
TM has posted another announcement that there is another submarine cable circuit fault on the AAG:
Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) wishes to announce that there has been a disruption of its Internet services due to circuit faults on the Asian American Gateway (AAG) submarine cable network at Lantau in China and at the domestic international link at Genting Sempah, Pahang, linking Malaysia to the United States (US) and Hong Kong.
Due to this, customers using Internet services may now experience slow browsing while accessing content hosted in the U.S. and Hong Kong. In addition, customers using other IP services such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) and other critical business applications linked to the U.S. and Hong Kong may also experience some service degradation.
To alleviate the problem, some of the links have been rerouted to alternate routes to ease the congestion.
During the restoration process, traffic to Northern America and Hong Kong may experience minor degradation while traffic to other countries is not affected. TM will make further announcements on the progress of the restoration works.
TM wishes to assure its customers that it is undertaking all necessary measures to restore communications services for its customers as soon as possible.
It appears that lately TM might have fiddled with their router settings resulting in a MTU error. This however should be applicable to anyone who has problems holding a VPN connection when transferring through it.
Symptoms:
Possible Resolution
Browse to your OpenVPN config folder (where you store your certificates and .ovpn files) and pick a configuration file that you wish to test with (for e.g. PrivateTracker.ovpn).
Open this up in notepad and add the statement:
mssfix 1400
in a new line AFTER the line that says ‘proto udp’.
Restart and see if it improves stability. If it doesn’t you can also try mssfix values of 1200 or 1300.
