Namecheap's VPN offering
- edf13 8y agoHow has this made it on to the home page?
- clickme_zsh 8y agoI dont know, I just wanted to share the info about their new service.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoI don't see why not - when Amazon releases a new product, it's usually featured here. Namecheap is one of the leading registrars, and their moving into this space is newsworthy. I'd even say that the rise of easy-to-use VPN services is newsworthy in and of itself, as it signals a greater awareness of privacy concerns and an increasing level of sophistication for the general public.
- tapirl 8y agoIt might be not a good decision for DO to provide VPN services. The reason is there are many DO users from China. Providing VPN services may cause China block all DO IPs and consequently force China users to use other hostings.
- clickme_zsh 8y agoDO ?
- hastaluego 8y agoI feel like maybe they thought the site was for digital ocean...?
- clickme_zsh 8y agoEh! Somebody didn't read the title or the article at all.
- chewzerita 8y agoThere is no link to just download openvpn config files for *nix users. Does it even use openvpn?
- clickme_zsh 8y agoThey dont mention support for OpenVPN anywhere on the page, so my guess is they don't.
- dxxvi 8y agoNo OpenVPN + the price is a little bit below ok -> they will disappear soon.
- clickme_zsh 8y agoYeah, I mean the market is filled with VPN Service providers.
