    No email for verification was sent to the email account that I used to get the download link so I can't connect Seed4.Me to the world wide web. There is no option for me to ask for verification again. Naturally, nothing is in the spam file. I see the developer is very responsive which is often not the case for GOTD developers but there is only 1.5 hours left to get this program working.

    Is tunneling supported? If not, that would be an excellent thing to add, since it helps those whose online banking, etc, sites will not properly work using a VPN.

    Dear Ed Sterrett,
    This is very nice idea to have customizable list of websites you want to visit bypassing VPN, however by default VPN encrypts all traffic. I will ask our developers if this is possible to do that or not.

    Connection is fast but when I then use a privacy browser to detect the ip address location, all still identify the original location, not the one that I am connected to.

    Hello PhilS,
    What is Privacy browser? Please, disable location sharing in your browser. If you are using VPN on smartphone try to disable Location services/GPS too. Then open new "private" tab and check your location once again.

    Hi.
    The program seem to complete installationas I got the successful completion message. Immediately I recieved an error message:

    " Failed to create OPEN GL context for Qsurface format..... Most likely cause is not having necessary graphic drivers installed. Install a driver providing OPEN GL 2.0 or higher. If this is not possible..."

    the rest i did not understand at all. Where can I get the necessary drivers?
    Thanks

    Speed is so slow. I can barely watch a 360p youtube clip without pausing...3Mb to 0.55 mb, on a 100Mb/100Mb network. I am thinking it is because of popularity of this giveaway, right now everyone is trying it so it slows the speed. I will give another shoot tomorrow, before removing it from my system.

    It has no DNS leak, that beats many of the competitor at the field, so I want to use it...Hopefully speed will come to its senses by tomorrow.

    If you need an account, you can create it right from the app without any code:
    1. On the top left click on the 3 small horizontal lines.
    2. Setting window will appear and there will be text: I don't have an account, Register.
    3. Click on "Register".

    Done!

    Thank you Roxane for your opinion!

    Generally speaking Seed4.Me VPN doesn't show annoying ads, we don't log & sell your traffic data to 3rd party, we have quite fast servers in 17 counties and the S4M team is always ready to help you with any question or problem. Of course maintaining such infrastructure requires some expenses so our VPN can't be free all the time.

    However you can always get more free time by following us, writing App Stores reviews and so on :)

    Also if you enjoy using VPN during free period and need VPN for the next six months or so, - please, extend your Seed4.Me access - we will got you covered.

    I want to add, that on the one hand, nobody is 100% "anonymous" when he is online, on the other hand Seed4Me VPN still adds a pretty good layer of security. If you are a blogger or a journalist and don't want to be tracked by ISP or hackers in free Wi-Fi, VPN is a good choice.

    Hi everybody. :-)

    It's always nice to see developers' replies!

    The better suggestion I can give to seed4.me is to keep very clear the features of the service, in its own webpage.

    Encryption type, logging type, number of servers, number of countries, subscription options, payment methods and so forth.

    I have a 60mbps connection, I tested many different locations, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Russian Federation all were under 10mbps. That would be very bad results, IMO better than nothing but not by much. Thank's for the giveaway.

    Dear Patrick,

    If you are using speedtest app or website, don't forget to turn off Location sharing (GPS) before running tests. In general, VPN bandwidth is shared among other users connected to the VPN node. We constantly increase number of nodes per country to provide comfortable surfing speed.

    If you need dedicated VPN solution, please contact support@seed4.me, we will do our best to satisfy your needs.

    Dear kingace,

    1. Sure, you can use one account for all you devices. We have lightweight apps for most popular platforms: you can log into your account in these apps. If the app asks "Do you want to transfer existing VPN access period" - answer "Yes" to sync you VPN access time. If you need to setup VPN manually (PPTP/L2TP), please let us know - support@seed4.me, we will guide you.

    2. For torrents, please, use torrent-friendly locations: Switzerland and Sweden.

    TK, we use simple firewall rules to block torrents in locations where torrenting is forbidden. We always refund, no matter how many days have passed since the payment: if the payment systems allows to return purchase and Customer is asking for refund, no problem, we do it.

    No accounts were locked because of torrenting in our service history ;)

    TOR is free forever, no registration etc. It uses a modified Firefox browser.

    Your ISP knows you are using TOR but nothing else.

    Tor isn't complete system encryption it only changes the IP address, your provider can see what your downloading. Only good for surfing and is slow.

    Patrick Wallace,
    You might be thinking of "Hide IP". That is/was a toy.

    No one, not even the computers in the many TOR transfer points can see what you are doing when using it. It's all encrypted etc.

    And you should be running https too. If you use Firefox then the add-on, "HTTPS Everywhere" does the job.

    Slow?
    It's free to try and find out how your system responds to it. It mostly depends upon what your normal Internet speed is. I used to run 0.76 Mbps and I could watch youtube videos with it. Now I'm running 45 Mbps and there is no trouble even with HD videos. The download speed is basically determined by how fast the site you are visiting can put it on the web.

    Besides, if you want to be truly protected from spying eyes a little reduction in speed is the toll the electrons take to bounce all around the web to get to where you want to go.

    olrowdy01, The fbi has already cracked TOR so if they want to know what you're doing while using it, it wouldn't be hard for them to find out.

    Rebeldawg,
    Considering that the known event happened 3 or 4 years ago to a site that presented illegal videos it is very likely that the site had Java activated.

    Using Java is a one of the no-no's when using TOR if you want to remain anonymous.

    At the same time TOR has made changes as needed to the browser etc over the years. But people will still configure their browser in ways they shouldn't.

    With all the tools the FBI has it took them 4 weeks to finally crack into the info they wanted on the site (from what I read).

    Most users of the web have a dynamic address which makes them harder to track if they turn the modem off now and then (like when you aren't using the computer).

    If you are really concerned that someone is out to get you only turn the system on long enough to send/receive the important stuff you are doing. Not too practical for a video site.

    If you have enough time, money and computer power just about everything is hackable (even if it takes 100 years to do it).

    I tried this VPN before and had some issues.
    First, you get disconnected a lot when streaming video or watch a movie on HULU.
    Second, my online banking can not go through many times do to some security issues popping up from the bank.
    Third, slow and legging connections and can easy be hacked since the servers are not monitored for such activity.

    Other then that, you decide whether to use it or not.

    Dear jim,
    I'm sorry you had bad experience with Seed4Me. On iOS we have automatic reconnect feature and soon we'll do it on Windows and Mac as well.

    Please contact our support team (support@seed4.me) asking to help you to find the fastest server for you. If the app won't work fast, we will explain how to setup VPN manually and use that server all the time.

    About banks: yes, sometimes banks do not allow you to login when they see your IP changed to another country's IP. If you had any other issues, please let me know - alex.z@seed4.me

    VPN works. see below for info on ip.
    *ISP can detect it is a vpn or proxy server.
    ** modifies drivers to network
    *increases latency.
    *when doing traceroute there are more than 30 hops. timeouts galore.
    ****speedtest ~ 3 mbs with vpn, 15 mbs without.
    decreases bandwidth as with many vpn's or proxies.

    REMOVED........
    there are better products on the market! you need to pay for them!

    Hello dear bcook01,

    Your device is obviously leaking your location. To fix it, please, disable location sharing in your browser. If you are using VPN on smartphone try to disable Location services/GPS too.

    About VPN speed:

    VPN connection makes dual path:
    1. from the site you visit to our VPN node
    2. then VPN node encrypts traffic and sends it to your computer/iPhone/iPad, then traffics is decrypted on your device.

    This is how you get your data protected from snooping & unblock sites.

    Because of double path mentioned above the speed of your connection may drop down and so called ping time (time from page request to page response)
    may be bigger then when you are connected directly to the website.

    To improve the speed of connection, choose the nearest to you VPN location, also you may turn ON VPN protection only when you need it.

    bcook01, You are correct, I used it before and got disconnected a lot.

    bcook01, i think it's vpn slower than your direct connection so the latency increased has nothing to do with ISP.

    Hello Stopnachodzcom,

    Thank you for your questions!

    1. We do not log or DPI traffic. VPN nodes only receive and forward traffic.

    General connection logs are stored on a secure server for 7 days to solve network issues if there are any. These logs are deleted after seven days if there are no network problems.

    2. For P2P (torrents) please use torrent-friendly locations: Switzerland and Sweden.

    3. We utilize modified OpenVPN 2048-bit protocol so it works with our VPN Client only. However you can setup L2TP or PPTP VPN manually. Here is step-by-step example for Ubuntu: https://seed4.me/pages/setup/vpn-ubuntu-l2tp

    By default we give 1 simultaneous L2TP/PPTP connection, but it can be upgraded upon request to support@seed4.me (it's free).

    Please, drop us a message if you have any questions or problems.

    Never heard of any 'private club' running a VPN. Never heard of 'by invitation only', either:

    https://seed4.me/pages/about

    More importantly though: never heard if the providers of this service keep logs.

    Apologies if I'm missing something here, but as the provider seems more interested in talking about clubs and invitations than about the actual functioning of this service, I'll pass. Thanks, GOTD, but no thanks.

    Hi MikeR,

    Let me clarify this. No registration needed to use the App, simply download and enjoy VPN :)

    If you want to use VPN on another device, you can create an account to sync VPN access time. No invitation needed to do that if you do it from the App (Desktop or Mobile).

    Invitation codes are mostly needed when someone wants to setup VPN manually.

    Downloaded & installed without any problem. Once installed went through the registration process, but couldn't see anywhere to enter reg code, but it looks as it it registered itself. On testing Seed4.ME showed that I was connected and displayed a fake IP address, however couldn't access the internet at all whilst running this software, tried adjusting what few options there are but still unable to connect to internet. I suppose not being able to access the internet is a really good way of not being tracked. Not going to waste my time with this. Uninstalled.

    Seed4Me,

    Running of Win 10 64 and have tried using Chrome (with & without data saver), Edge, Firefox and even IE, configured firewall to allow access in each case. Tried all available VPN locations and in every instance couldn't connect to internet with your software active, connects when software deactivated. To my mind the issue lies with the software. I appreciate you trying to help, but by my way of thinking if I obtain a piece of software, I accept that I might need to tweak it here and there to fine tune it, but having to waste nearly an hour and being unable to get it to work is simply not worth it. I dare say if I ran a diagnostics I'd be able to sort it out but don't have the time or the inclination to do so.

    I have a problem will all anonymity programs, in that there has to be a trail from the pc to the target for the target to get back to the pc. No matter how many times data goes through a proxy, the target always gets to the pc - else they wouldn't work, and for that to happen there has to be a trail of some sort - even if one particular company doesn't know what it is. There has to be a trail for data to reach its destination. BTW, the reCAPTCHA thing is a real nuisance.

    Most companies only log the 'direct' source of visitors, traffic, etc. Their webserver only logs, "this request came from this IP". If you used (for example) a German proxy server, getting the data from that server (assuming you were in a different country) would involve a lot of work and effort which most companies certainly wouldn't bother with - they have far better things to do.

    Abbots Nightmare, that is the difference between VPNs who are required to keep logs and those that are not.

    Those keeping logs are also required to share them freely with law enforcement if asked.

    The ones in countries which do not require logs are the most private, but those countries may or may not be as safe as others for your credit card information! If buying one of those, get a prepaid card and you have the best way to pay for the most privacy.

    In short, these things protect you from google and most targeted ads, but not from law enforcement!

    Dear Abbots Nightmare,

    You are right at some point. VPN is just another layer of security. 1) Use VPN server in country different from were you are 2) override your ISP DNS servers 3) Disable Flash, JAVA, WEBRTC +add plugin like NoScript in browser.

    P.S. Seed4Me VPN nodes do not store any logs, they only receive and froward traffic.

    Seed4Me,

    Hello, Tregs here. Thanks for the giveaway. I have been using your app since a past giveaway on a different site & noticed that the desktop app cleared my default browser cache after first use. As a result I lost all bookmarks, default logins & previous weeks history without even getting to backup. Since then I uninstalled, switched default browser & reinstalled the app; now it does the same for a lesser used default browser. I appreciate a vpn doing that automatically as its the way should be but you gotta add a tick choice when first installed.

    The app works fine & across all platforms. I tested & use on phone & home pc.

    Reply   |   Comment by Tregs  –  6 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+11)

    Dear Tregs,
    thank you for you review!

    This is strange, because our VPN app doesn't have this function (thanks for idea).

    When you connect to VPN, you IP (location) changes and some websites for security reasons may ask you to re-login. This may look like your cached logins has been cleared.

    This is the most likely your case. If we had this function, we would never do this without a warning.

    Seed4Me,

    Hi, it could possibly be but default firefox 53 got like a factory reset & started as newly installed browser; & current default vivaldi is set in clear history anyway. I wondered if it was due to the app configured to start automatically in startup. Now I have unchecked the startup option, switched browser default & use when needed.
    I only got back all data through previous day system restore.

    Tregs, I see. Well, this is really, really very strange. I will ask our developers about it tomorrow. If you find any obvious link between starting Seed4Me VPN and browser history/cache erasing, please, don't hesitate to contact me - alex.z@seed4.me
