How to hide ip: Free VPN Service – VPN Reactor

Posted: 01 Aug 2011 05:20 AM PDT

Passing Thoughts - I will call VPN Reactor a free VPN service worth a shot for your daily usage only if you aren't working on anything that requires security. At least, it hides your IP address!

In my upcoming articles you will read more about some of the best and free VPN services. This article will throw some light on VPN Reactor and why it could be one of your favourite free VPN Services.

VPN Reactor provides free PPTP which is actually enabled by the local operating system of the computer thus the requirement of using any software is eliminated. Basically, VPN Reactor is a small network of servers and it does not feature any server switching.

PPTP has widely been tagged as non-secure when compared to OpenVPN services due to which the free VPN service provided by VPN Reactor can be tagged as non-secure and prone to attacks.

Once you register and confirm your account with VPN Reactor then you get a specific server which you will be using while connecting to the outside network via VPN Reactor. To setup your connection all that you have to do is start a new connection setup from Network and Sharing Center in control panel. Enter the server name that comes in confirmation email and your VPN Reactor ID/Password when required. You can follow the pretty simple VPN Reactor tutorials if you face any issues or if you are using any other operating system.

Something that hurts the value of VPN Reactor is their TOS. VPN Reactor clearly states that they have the rights to disclose your personal data and the usage logs if:

You are spamming.
Abusing their service.
In case a court order pops up.
Violating TOS.

To contradict their TOS the privacy policy of VPN Reactor states that they do not keep logs. I am not sure who is creating their content but for sure they need to do a thorough proof read of the same.
