That’s a bit of a tricky question, since VPN protocols can have different settings and can encapsulate each other. But let’s try to count them one by one.
1) PPTP most popular and widely supported protocol, has 128-bit encryption and quite fast comparing to other protocols. But not so well protected, since encryption key of 128-bits is too short for today.
2) L2TP is a protocol which does not imply encryption an usually used over IPSec protocol to secure data transfer. L2TP supports authentication in a very similar way as PPTP, but has no encryption. IPSec provides high industry standard encryption and even certificate authentication. L2TP rarely used without IPSec
3) SSTP is L2TP protocol over SSL connection.
3) OpenVPN – open standard and open source implementation. Supports different kinds of encryption. Advantages: can use TCP/IP to pretend SSL connection. Can bypass HTTP proxy. High level of protection, but VERY slow and requires a lot of processing power comparing to other protocols.
4) Private VPN implementation (for instance CISCO)
Imagine the situation, you are watching a TV and somebody calls you a bastard from the screen.
You can shout at the screen and try to prove opposite, but it does not work. You can come to your next door neighbor who’ve seen that already and explain that TV is wrong! But it is not effective, you can not come to everybody and even if you can, you will end up proving you are not a camel all the time.
So, here we have a typical example of asymmetric information flow. If inflow is higher, then your outflow – then it is impossible to prove you are right.
Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Google make huge information outflow with immediate effect on people. Remember Muslim riots after video published on YouTube? Most of attendees even did not have access to Internet, but riots happened like a spark.
The right answer, if you can not control the information outflow, then you should block it and create your own. This is why Youtube, Facebook and Twitter are blocked, but Weibo, RenRen and Youku succesfully exist in China.
Today we issue another 50 invitations with 7 days free VPN access each. Press the button below to grab an invitation code and register.
After account activation, you will have access to all VPN servers in US, UK, Netherlands and Hong-Kong.

To understand the Chinese censorship system, Gary King, a professor of political science at Harvard University was tricky to intrude inside. According to the Technology Review website, this professor and two colleagues created a fake Chinese social networking site in order to understand how censorship really operates in this country.
We thus discover that the Chinese e-censorship is not based on a centralized system, but rather on a very dynamic capitalist market: companies are actually competing to offer the best technology and the best tools for removing content. There is actually no censorship written guide by the Chinese government, which explains the forbidden words, such as Tibet or Tiananmen. Rather these companies are setting for themselves their own guidelines, not to fall within the scope of government repression, which can lead to the closure of a site.
The kit provided to the researchers to manage their site had some sophisticated tools that can automate online censorship. New posts to the site could even be filtered based on keywords upstream of a manual control. They could be managed specifically according to their length or position where they appear on the site. This software also allows you to stop the publication of posts so that anyone could read it before you publish it or not. It also allows a specific person to be further spotted for censorship, according to his or her IP address and internet reputation, said Gary King.
According to the latter, a company needs to hire two to three censors for 50,000 users to satisfy the Chinese government’s cybercensorship. It considers that in China between 50,000 and 75,000 people used to censor websites.
Reuters has also recently published information devoted to the Chinese social network Weibo use of censorship. The software used by Weibo would scan all posts on its social network before publication. Only a fraction should be considered sensitive to be read by a censor, who will decide whether or not to validate the post . In 24 hours censors thus treat approximately three million posts.
VPN usage is absolutely legal, since it is just a technology to connect different IP networks. It enables encryption and secure transport of the data. Also it is widely used by companies to merge their office branches into a single network.
Consider VPN as a kitchen knife. Use it, sell it and buy kitchen knifes are absolutely legal, but killing people with this tool is not. So using VPN for legit activities is legal, another question what is a legit activity?
Personal VPN providers, such as Seed4.Me, allow people to change their jurisdiction virtually and avoid charges in the country of their origin. If “virtual change of jurisdiction” is considered as illegal activity, then it is illegal.
But most of the countries do not have any regulations regarding “jurisdiction change”, so it’s perfectly legal to use VPN.
Many people asked us how to use Xbox or PlayStation together with our service. None of consoles supports VPN, but having it connected is very beneficial.
For instance you can purchase games and videos from US with US prices. Video streaming services like Netflix and Hulu also become available. There are some other advantages as well.
So how to make it work?
You need a Wi-Fi router with VPN client software integrated. Then it would be possible to enter Seed4.Me credentials directly to the router and get all devices connected.
For instance, Wi-Fi routers from Sabai Technology have already PPTP & OpenVPN clients as part of firmware. Especially we like Gateways Feature of Sabai‘s router, which helps to define policy for each device separately.
Now it is easy to specify whether you want the connection to go through the local provider or through the VPN.
Scandals with NSA and other companies, made people suspicious, everybody cares about privacy now. So we are often asked: “Do you keep logs?” and the answer is “Yes, we do”. The same as the rest VPN companies in the world!
If anybody says VPN company does not keep ANY logs, they lie.
Now we explain why.
Usually VPN provider has dozens of servers all around the world and in order to have high quality service, it has to record logs.
When user complains about failure to connect, support team should know what’s happening. So that’s why any VPN company has to record logs.
The question is which information is saved, where it is stored and for how long? Here Seed4.Me is the most secure VPN provider.
First, we developed the system to aggregate activity from all VPN servers and send it directly to another hidden server. It helps to keep VPN servers clean even in cases when servers are confiscated. There are no any user traces.
Second, we record only login information in order to detect connectivity issues.
And third, information is kept for 5 days and then removed. So if you have a connectivity issue, contact us immediately, otherwise we can’t help.
As VPN provider we have to deal with user’s private information and we do it with all seriousness. Seed4.Me club members can be sure no information is shared and no information is kept longer then 5 days.
We issue new invitations for next 50 people who’d like to join our VPN club. 7 days of free access to all VPN servers upon joining.
Make the first payment and get the right to issue invitations by yourself.
