привет из Москвы! (Hello from Russia!)

We added a new VyprVPN server cluster in Moscow, Russia!

Our approach is unique in the VPN industry – we own, engineer and manage our VPN servers so we can deliver fast and reliable connections. Other VPN providers use 3rd party companies to host their VPN servers. We don’t. We are the only company who handles your data so your privacy and security are protected from end-to-end.

We also have VyprVPN Desktop and Mobile apps to make it easy to protect your Internet connection with a single click or tap.

The Russia VPN server cluster is available for all VyprVPN protocols, including PPTP, L2TP/IPsec and OpenVPN.

If you use VyprVPN Desktop, the new Russia VPN server cluster is automatically available when choosing your server location. To choose the Russian server cluster with VyprVPN Mobile, simply log out of your app and log back in.

If you have manually set up VyprVPN on your operating system, you can update your VyprVPN hostname to: ru1.vpn.goldenfrog.com

There is a lot of buzz surrounding the new HTC Facebook phone. The software is designed to be a simple Android app and a user interface which fully takes over the traditional Android user interface.

This move by Facebook drives home an important point: going social on a mobile device is happening more often today than ever before. This shouldn’t be surprising since a growing number of social media features are designed for mobile users and real-time interaction. While the Facebook phone will make going social easier, it does very little to address personal privacy and data security.
A More Social Mobile Phone Puts Sensitive Personal Data at Risk

Mobile phones often connect to the Internet via local Wi-Fi hotspots. Unfortunately, most of these hotspots feature little security or protection. It is trivial for a malicious hacker or data thief to steal personal information as it passes through Wi-Fi hotspots. Even secure Wi-Fi hotspots are increasingly vulnerable.

To compound the problem, Facebook is notorious for not respecting the user privacy and makes it difficult for users to understand and edit privacy settings . More than 13 million users have never altered the default privacy settings and 28 percent share everything on their wall with the public. In 2012, more than 10 percent of households (7 million) using Facebook had their personal information compromised.
The Easiest Solution: Personal VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a simple, yet effective security measure. The majority of information theft from mobile devices occurs when using unsecure Wi-Fi networks. To secure Internet communications, a VPN encrypts all data as it passes from the mobile device to the VPN server. This adds a layer of security to mobile browsing and prevents others from intercepting your personal data.
Golden Frog Offers a “One Tap” VPN Solution

Manually configuring a VPN connection takes time and has discouraged many users from equipping their mobile devices with VPNs. To overcome this problem, Golden Frog has developed a simple “one tap” VPN solution: VyprVPN for Android. After installing the app, users can activate VyprVPN with a “single tap” and gain access to servers in North America, Europe, and Asia. To make it even easier, users can auto-select the server location closest to them. This maximizes Internet speeds, provides Internet security and grants online freedom.
The New HTC Facebook Phone Makes VyprVPN More Valuable than Ever

The Facebook phone is designed to bring social media to the forefront of the mobile device experience. While it makes interacting with friends and family on Facebook easier, mobile data may be exposed to security threats. VyprVPN for Android is a solution that immediately makes connecting to social media sites safer by encrypting your connection and protecting your sensitive personal information.

GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS – April 5, 2013 – Golden Frog, a global software and Internet application development company, announced today that it has added a new VyprVPN server cluster in Stockholm, Sweden. VyprVPN is a personal VPN (Virtual Private Network) service used to encrypt Internet connections, protect online privacy, prevent monitoring of online communications and provide access to restricted websites to preserve an open and free Internet. The VPN server cluster in Sweden is now available to all of Golden Frog’s VyprVPN customers.

“We are excited about adding our tenth VPN server location,” said Philip Molter, Golden Frog’s Chief Technology Officer. “We will continue to add additional server clusters throughout 2013 in order to ensure our customers have access to the fastest VPN speeds in the world.”

VyprVPN users now have unlimited access to the following server locations:

Asia – Hong Kong
Canada – Toronto
France – Paris
Germany – Frankfurt

Sweden – Stockholm
U.S. – Austin
U.S. – Los Angeles
U.S. – Washington, D.C.

GRAND CAYMAN, CAYMAN ISLANDS – April 4, 2013 – Golden Frog, a global software and Internet application development company, announced today that it has joined a wide range of groups and individuals asking high ranking lawmakers in the United States Congress to act quickly to codify a permanent exception to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to allow for the unlocking of mobile devices.

In October 2012 the Librarian of Congress decided that unlocking of mobile phones would soon be illegal in the United States thereby reducing consumer choice and decreasing the resale value of devices that consumers have paid for in full. It also forces consumers to pay exorbitant roaming fees to make calls while traveling abroad.

As stated in Golden Frog’s recently published Vision Paper, they support an open and free Internet. The idea of an open and free Internet also extends to the mobile marketplace. Allowing consumers to use their mobile devices with the carrier of their choice only helps increase consumer choice and maintain openness. Golden Frog believes that copyright should not be used as a means restrict consumers to use a particular service provider and encourages all netizens to join them in voicing support for mobile phone unlocking.

A recent White House petition that garnered over 100,000 signatures requested that the White House ask the Librarian of Congress to rescind its decision. This unlocking campaign led the White House to reverse its position and initiate an FCC investigation.

Several members of Congress have also announced plans to legalize unlocking. As of today, three Senate bills and one House bill have been introduced, and more appear to be on the way. This issue has broad bipartisan and popular support, and there’s a good chance at least one of these bills will get traction.
We are pleased to announce that we added a new VyprVPN server cluster in Stockholm, Sweden! The Sweden VPN server cluster is available for all VyprVPN protocols, including PPTP, L2TP/IPsec and OpenVPN.

For Golden Frog customers using VyprVPN Desktop, the new Sweden VPN server address is automatically available when choosing your server location. To choose the Sweden server location when using VyprVPN Mobile, simply log out of your iOS or Android app and log back in.

If you have manually set up VyprVPN on your operating system, you can update your VyprVPN hostname to: se1.vpn.goldenfrog.com

Today, Golden Frog joined a wide range of groups and individuals asking high ranking lawmakers in the United States Congress to act quickly to codify a permanent exception to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to allow for the unlocking of mobile devices.

We believe that unlocking a phone allows consumers to choose their wireless carrier and not be locked to one carrier. This is useful to international travelers who want their phones to be compatible with different networks or for consumers who want the freedom to switch carriers as they please. Making mobile phone locking illegal reduces consumer choice and decreases the resale value of devices that consumers have paid for in full. It also forces consumers to pay exorbitant roaming fees to make calls while traveling abroad.

A recent White House petition that garnered over 100,000 signatures requested that the White House ask the Librarian of Congress to rescind its decision. This unlocking campaign led the White House to reverse its position and endorse unlocking, and initiate an FCC investigation.

Several members of Congress have announced plans to legalize unlocking. As of today, three Senate bills and one House bill have been introduced, and more appear to be on the way. This issue has broad bipartisan and popular support, and there’s a good chance at least one of these bills will get traction.
