We just updated our VyprVPN PPTP setup instructions for DD-WRT routers today. Using VyprVPN on a router with DD-WRT firmware installed allows your entire network to share a single VyprVPN connection. All devices on your network, including devices without native VPN support, can connect to VyprVPN and securely access the Internet.

Advantages of VyprVPN PPTP on DD-WRT routers:

Protect multiple devices with one VyprVPN connection – With VyprVPN PPTP configured on your DD-WRT router, you can protect any device that connects to your network using a single VyprVPN account.
Secure devices without native VPN support – When you set up VyprVPN on your router, every device on your network is protected. Devices without native VPN support, such as your Xbox, PS3, Smart TV, web-enabled Blu-ray player, can securely access the Internet.
Maintain your local area network using a VPN – Configuring VyprVPN on a single device sometimes prevents communication between devices on your local area network. After you setup VyprVPN on your DD-WRT router all devices can communicate when using VyprVPN.

Use the VyprVPN PPTP set up instructions for DD-WRT supported routers to configure your router and secure your entire network today!

Please note that VyprVPN only supports one VyprVPN connection per user. Before connecting your router to VyprVPN, please ensure you don’t have any other active VyprVPN connections. If you are currently connected to VyprVPN, learn how to remotely disconnect VyprVPN connections using the Golden Frog Control Panel.
Dump Truck online storage is under active development and we are working towards a retail launch for Golden Frog customers in the coming months. Dump Truck is currently only available to Giganews members through our Giganews corporate partnership.

Today, we added the ability to publicly share files or folders using the Dump Truck Web App. Now you can share your photos, videos, documents or even entire folders with friends and family.

Security has been a key concern for us during Dump Truck development. We included the ability for Dump Truck users to secure public links using passwords and link expiration dates in order provide users more security and control over their files. Users can also create multiple links per file/folder and track the number of downloads per public link.
Today, we are excited to release version 1.2 of the VyprVPN App! This version offers more control over auto-connect features that were highly requested by VyprVPN members.

Key features in the VyprVPN App version 1.2:

Auto-Launch App on Login: Configure the VyprVPN App to automatically launch when you login to your computer.
Auto-Connect when the VyprVPN App Launches: Configure the VyprVPN App to automatically establish VyprVPN connections when the app is launched.
Auto Reconnect if VyprVPN Connection Drops: Configure the VyprVPN App to automatically reconnect to VyprVPN if your connection drops.

We posted OpenVPN set up instructions for DD-WRT routers in the VyprVPN support section today! Our dedication customer support team developed easy to follow, step by step instructions to configure OpenVPN on DD-WRT routers.

What is DD-WRT?

DD-WRT is free open source router firmware designed to increase the functionality of popular Internet routers. With DD-WRT installed, you can set up VyprVPN directly on your router. There are a number of benefits for configuring VyprVPN with DD-WRT on your router.

Benefits of VyprVPN on DD-WRT routers:

Multiple devices share one VyprVPN connection – Once VyprVPN is configured on your router with DD-WRT firmware, all devices using the network will be protected with a one VyprVPN account.
Secure devices without native VPN support – When OpenVPN is configured on a DD-WRT enabled router, every device on your network is protected. Devices without native VPN support, such as your Xbox, PS3, Smart TV, web-enabled Blu-ray player, can securely access the Internet.
Maintain your local area network using a VPN – Configuring VyprVPN on a single device sometimes prevents communication between devices on your local area network. After you setup VyprVPN on your DD-WRT router all devices can communicate when using VyprVPN.

Please follow the VyprVPN OpenVPN router set up instructions for DD-WRT and secure every device on your network.

VyprVPN only supports one VyprVPN connection per user. Before connecting your router to VyprVPN, please ensure you don’t have any other active VyprVPN connections. If you are currently connected to VyprVPN, learn how to remotely disconnect VyprVPN connections using the Golden Frog Control Panel.

Today, our developers updated the VyprVPN App to version 1.1. This new version refines several elements of the application and fixes a number of bugs for an improved user experience.

Highlights for the VyprVPN App v 1.1 include:

Windows VPN description will now simply say “VyprVPN”, rather than incrementing server location names after each reconnection, e.g., “Amsterdam (17)”, “Amsterdam (18)”, etc. on Windows Vista and Windows 7
Windows 7 will now only ask for network type (Public, Work, Home) the first time VyprVPN App connects using PPTP or L2TP.
Updates no longer require a reboot.
Recent connections now work even if a user decides to not save their password.

If you’re already a Golden Frog VyprVPN customer, you can download the free update within the VyprVPN App itself or get it here. If you’re not already a customer, we invite you to learn about VyprVPN and signup today!
Ars Technica recently published an article about an application called Stalker that streamlines the collection of unsecured data from iPhone users. Stalker collects passwords, images, email and any other data that is sent unencrypted and organizes it in an easy-to-read interface.

That’s not all. When within range of a smartphone user, hackers can also steal:

Users’ full names
Personal information such as birth date, zip code and sex
Previously accessed network names
Unencrypted Facebook chats
Attached documents

One of the reasons we created VyprVPN was to protect mobile devices while users are on the go and defeat snooping applications such as Stalker. VyprVPN encrypts personal information on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices as well as desktops and laptops, so you can rest assured that hackers or snoops will not have access to your email, passwords or any other sensitive information. Use a personal VPN, such as VyprVPN, to prevent Stalker and any other snooping software from stealing your personal information.
