   The optional 2FA used is Authy, you activate Authy with your phonenumber only once, after that you use Authy to login to your account. So 2FA is not done through SMS text messages for example, where hijacking could be a problem. Good one wi

   We preferably launch once in a while. ;-) This is not really a launch btw, although it's getting a launch with upvotes on HN this time. But I just wanted to show the current state of WifiMask, it took some time to work on it more and t

   We have now sort of "hidden" the information that Netflix is not unblockable under the FAQ part of this page: https://wifimask.com/contact Maybe we should say we cannot unblock Netflix on the frontpage, because I

   I was thinking/reconsidering this same thing today too! ;-) I have to discuss with my brother, but I think it will be changed soon into "Made in the Netherlands". Thanks for the feedback. ;-)

   I think this is true. We want to be as honest and open as possible, that includes being honest about the laws we have to comply too. On the other hand, we have a strict no log policy, we have nothing to hand over to authorities accept for t

    All true. You have to start somewhere, and the first focus was on Apple devices, apps for other platforms will soon follow. Meanwhile examples of OpenVPN config files are available too, so you can use the WifiMask service on any OpenVPN cap

    Thank you for your questions and feedback! WifiMask uses OpenVPN for the macOS app and IKEv2/IPSec for iOS. We haven't had 3rd party audits yet, this is definitely on our wish list, because we understand it's all about trust.

    With my WifiMask apps it's the case as long as the on/off switch is turned on, the VPN will either be connected or try to connect, as long as there is no connection the kill switch will do it's work, prevent data leaking and

    For example on iOS you use the iOS NEVPNManager API for setting up an IKEv2 VPN connection, if this is updated in an iOS release and you use it in your VPN app, your app will be "updated" too. So in this sense it's not compar

    I love how Cloudflare turns an outage into a selling opportunity by explaining exactly why you need their product to a hungry audience waiting to read about it.

    I would recommend my own company, based in the Netherlands: WifiMask.com. A VPN with a focus on WiFi protection. MacOS and iOS only for now, I'm working on Android and Windows too. Send me an email for a test account if you'd like
