I'm not convinced signing up with one of the existing VPN services is any significantly easier than signing up with Digital Ocean or Rackspace, and using the Tinfoil creator service. Have you tried it?
- chuckit 11y agoNope. Sounds too complicated.
- borski 11y agoNot entirely certain how one signup form is more complicated than another, but I recommend trying it before judging it.
- chuckit 11y agoI'm sure it's simple for someone who is familiar with the technology, but what about everyone else? How would your average Joe know which DigitalOcean plan to sign up for, or which settings to apply?
- borski 11y agoWe tell them, right on the page. We even give you a coupon so it's free. There are no settings to apply. The steps are: 1) Make a DigitalOcean or Rackspace account. 2) Make an API key by clicking <link> and hitting the button. 3) Insert it in this box. 4) Hit go. That's it. Then you download/install the client (like you would with any other VPN service) and you're done. You don't need to know anything about the droplet size, or anything else. Quite literally, my mom has done this, and she sells clothing for a living and is not technically adept.
- rue 11y agoIt’s less work if you need to use multiple locations for geocircumvention, at least. I’m happy to pay somebody 5/mo to handle that + patching etc. etc.
