A VPN (virtual private network) is a method of linking computers/servers together over the internet utilizing encryption to keep the network private.

BolehVPN secures your connection to the internet by hiding your true location and encapsulating or encrypting the data that passes through the VPN making it harder for third parties to analyze/intercept the traffic.

In short BolehVPN:

• Protects your privacy by masking your IP
• Encrypts data to and from your computer that flows through the VPN (for BolehRoute)
• Accelerates your P2P (for e.g. BitTorrent) on ISPs that shape P2P traffic
• Allows you to appear from a different country than your origin country to access country specific content (Hulu, Pandora, Veoh, etc)
• Bypasses certain types of campus/corporate firewalls (we suggest a trial to determine this and to use in moderation)

You may also wish to read our simplified analogy here if this still sounds like Greek to you.

BolehVPN is based off OpenVPN, an open source SSL VPN. We implement a custom GUI for Windows users to facilitate easy installation.

It is widely accepted as one of the most secure VPN implementations out there and is extremely flexible and stable. It also supports a wide variety of platforms (Windows/Unix/Linux/Mac).

Why is X competitor cheaper than you?

We believe our prices to be fair considering the range of uses BolehVPN has in comparison to other VPNs. It is noted that other VPNs may appear to be cheaper but it is highly common that their cheap packages limit you to a very small selection of servers while their top-end packages offering the full range of servers cost many times more. We at BolehVPN offer you access to all our servers at one price!

We take great pride in our support where you will always deal with a real person and we aim to respond in a timely manner.

PPTP despite its wide usage and easy setup is one of the most vulnerable VPNs out there. Many serious security vulnerabilities have been found in the protocol. A good FAQ on PPTP's weaknesses couched in easy to understand language can be found on Bruce Schneier's site. PPTP is also primarily a Windows based VPN.

IPSec VPNs although secure when configured properly has a very large overhead which diminishes network performance making it unsuitable for high speed transfers. The configuration of IPSec VPNs are also complex and isn't friendly with firewalls.

Hence it is our belief that OpenVPN is the best solution out there for personal end user VPN with its mixture of easy setup, high performance and security.
