VPN Terms and Information - VPN Glossary
VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN creates a secure tunnel between you and a safe server that encrypts and protects you and your information. A VPN service offer security and anonymity for personal use. VPN will assign a new ip address to your computer. This is NOT to be confused with a proxy service which is used to view websites only.
OpenVPN or PPTP VPN: Open VPN offers stronger encryption (2048 bit) and will work on places where PPTP VPN is blocked. Places we have seen PPTP VPN blocked are locations in the Middle East like Oman, Dubai and UAE. OpenVPN will also work better on MACs that have problems connecting to our Windows based PPTP servers. PPTP offers less encryption (128bits) but Works on Mobile Devices like IPHONE or very easily to install on DD-WRT routers.
Dedicated IP VPN Service: Dedicated IP service is a single IP address, this IP is not shared with any other users. The Dedicated IP service is ideal for maintaining a secure business environment or for anyone that wants to maintain the highest online security at all times.
Shared IP VPN Service: You share ONE public IP with ALL the Shared service users of the VPN server to which you have connected.
Iphone VPN: You can use Skype on your iphone from anywhere in the world even in countries that block VoIP such as UAE (Dubai) , Saudi Arabia , China.
Newsgroup VPN: Giganews Adds FREE VPN to Usenet Service. Called VyprPN, the service is part of a collaboration with Golden Frog. For a limited time customers who subscribe to the “Diamond” package ($29.99 p/mo) will be able to encrypt their true IP address and protect Newsgroup traffic. => Usenet Newsgroup server reviews
