How to hide ip: Ipredator.se Finally Released For Everyone

Ipredator.se Finally Released For Everyone

Posted: 19 Jan 2010 02:28 AM PST

Ipredator, that was in a beta phase for about 6 month and available to selected testers, is now open for everyone.

The VPN service was launched last summer by The Pirate Bay’s team in response to the introduction of Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) legislation which empowers copyright holders get personal details of file-sharing users from ISP's.

The service is available for 149 SEK (that’s about 15 EUR / 21 USD) per 3 months and you will get safe, encrypted communication between you and the internet, with no logging of the data transferred.

The team behind Ipredator also announced that they are developing a new tool to make it harder (or impossible) for the government of Sweden to tap into their citizens traffic. No details about what this tool may be.

Ipredator – Good or Bad?

Here, at How-to-hide-ip.info, there were some interesting, not favorable, comments regarding Ipredator. I’ll just cite Fausty from a comment on 7 VPN Services Launched in 2009:

Just to clarify, ipredator is NOT a new service. It's just Relakks, with a new name stuck on top of it – as confirmed by Sunde after we caught them trying to pass it off as "new." [..]

Additionally, Sunde has admitted that because the old Relakks network (which was abandoned, with customer funds disappearing, in 2008 by whomever owns it – they've never explained any of that) is built on pptp proprietary VPN tools, that "IPREDator is very much a political statement more than anything else." That's right, this "privacy service" uses technology that's so badly broken it can't even promise to protect privacy! Sunde only made this admission after I demanded he justify how they could put forth the re-animated Relakks stuff as a viable "privacy service" despite the many flaws exposed in it.

What do you think of Ipredator? Have you tried it? Is it a good service? Would you recommended to others?
