Is there an idea of increasing the number of output countries ?
If we have more buyers, yes, we will be able to buy new servers and let the users choose their favorite or take one randomly.

Where are your servers located and in which country do the operators of this service reside in? Because the .com domain is under the US jurisdiction...
the worst US courts can do is shut the domain down

In case of a serious breach of law can't they prosecute the owners of the domain and ask to hand their clients' data if the owners of Cognitive Cryptography live in US?

EDIT: OK, I see, they would have to contact the Malaysian govt. first.

What data ? Usernames ? MtGox transaction ids ?
We only store safe things, that would not even be a problem.
- JackSparrow

Paypal emails? Smiley

You have no ToS and no mention of illegal activities so I guess someone should check what's safe and what's not? Or are you a honeypot?
Don't take me wrong - I'm happy to see new businesses offering bitcoins as a payment but you have no reputation here - and you remind me of our forum Pirate (probably due to your nickname).

I have a few questions:

1) Is 100 GB bandwidth per month?
2) Uptime?
3) What are your policies on running Tor exit nodes and torrenting?

Paypal emails, that's still safe. (except if you think the US gov want to spam you)

3) To be more precise, we should not and do not watch what users do, so actually it is allowed.

We really don't care what you use the VPN for. You may use it for whatever you like. No ToS needed.
Yes, 100 GB per month.
Uptime, I use it all day and have no problems at all, I had one disconnection due to maintenance but we were back up within a minute.
Ah, pirateat40. I'm surprised Bitcoin has managed to rise so much despite him running away with millions of dollars only a few months ago.

Edit: For a limited time, we have added a plan that costs only 0.025 BTC.
This is Bitcoin only(unless you want to pay €999.99), and we may remove the option to buy it at any time.

We have one server in France, we will get more as we have more users.
Nothing is stored on the VPN server, user data and website are on another server at different ISP.
The VPN can still work without the .com domain, even without DNS if we have problems with that.

Hidemyass is far from being secure. If you need absolute security choose some Russian double VPN

Trial period was too short for me to test security, but I was able to test speeds (fast! limited by my end, not theirs) and the external IP address, which changed while using the service. I was also able to set up the VPN on my Android phone.

The service was smooth, and the MtGox checkout worked well.

Hi bluedye,

actually, you're right: We can't prove we do not log anything.
But anyway, neither can your ISP, or the owners of every routers you use.
We do log things, for technical purpose only, and this is not stored and will never be used or sold for anything, because our customers pay for their anonymity and a secure tunnel.

If you really want absolute anonymity, do not use our VPN. Do not use a VPN. Maybe don't even use the Internet.

The only way to really secure yourself from any VPN from knowing your connections is to do:

 Tor ----> VPN ------> Tor (VM)
Tor is one the best solution to be completely anonymous on the Internet, and a VPN with Tor is completely useless.

1. They have stood the test of time
2. I think it unlikely a VPN being around for a long time is rogue or LE.

I wish you all the best with your new business though.
HideMyAss has been around for a long time, trusted by many people, ...
Look at that: http://blog.hidemyass.com/2011/09/23/lulzsec-fiasco/
How could they protect privacy if they do not allow *everything* ? They can't.

Everyone, sign up and ask us on IRC if you want a free week to try it. Wink

I now see you don't keep any logs and usage cannot be traced back to you.

Is it not possible this could be LE trying to snoop on us all? I know this is over-the-top slightly but if they controlled a few VPNs then they could follow exactly what you did, even though you thought you were anonymous? Im merely interested and not accusing in the slightest!

If the feedback coming in remains good, Ill consider joining too.
Interesting thought.
The way we see it, is, arn't you snooped on all the time anyway? Google logs all your usage data and possibly Google drive files, and Facebook has been proven to track your data even outside of their site. I'm sure most of us regularly use Google and Facebook, so wouldn't it be much easier for the LE to buy your data from them and others? Both Google and Facebook have not been known to sell data, but what makes them any more trustworthy than us? Because they are a big corporation? If anything, that makes them more open to secret deals, or rouge employees who have access to the data. Countless corporations have done it in the past, and there are many places you can go to, to find extensive information on a person.
Cognitive Cryptography is run by 2 people, only 1 of which has access to HaiPeng, our VPN server; and by extension any "logs" we may keep. Everything I do that concerns the company is disclosed on irc, and the same with JackSparrow. If he went rouge, I would be the first to report.
Using our VPN is, given, risky because although we say we don't log your data, we always could. But we are no less risky than any other VPN. And plus, its more risky using Facebook and Google because they are GUARANTEED to log your data.
Google now has free internet, there is no reason why they won't log all of your browsing data from that.
There are even companies that store all tweets on twitter ever made, and even keep deleted tweets. There is software available to keep your own twitter logs for large scale crown analysis. Twitter has millions upon millions of daily users, CCVPN has no hope of achieving anywhere near a million. Why spend your time and money setting up a VPN company when you can access twitter logs for free(from, I dare say, a large amount of less technically, and by extension, privacy inclined users, who probably disclose a lot more about themselves than the average Bitcoin user?)?

startpage.com - startpage logs all Google search data, then let's you search it. You get the same search results as Google, but without the logs.

Phew, that took me over an hour.

Yes, you have good points about google, facebook and twitter but I doubt anyone who wants to stay anonymous (and you do advertise yourselves clearly as being a highly anonymous service) going to be logging into social media sites using a VPN. That sort of defeats the purpose IMO of staying anonymous lol.

The only way to really secure yourself from any VPN from knowing your connections is to do:

 Tor ----> VPN ------> Tor (VM)

But yes it is an interesting thought, especially considering VPNs are doing a lot of damage concerning copyright infringement, such as torrent downloading. So I personally would tend to trust the older VPNs as:

1. They have stood the test of time
2. I think it unlikely a VPN being around for a long time is rogue or LE.

I wish you all the best with your new business though.
