   Actually the very first image on the home page slider shows you our apps and the devices they run on. On the Mac, it's a little menu bar icon that stays out of your way (and wraps OpenVPN under the hood.) On iOS, it's effectively

   Mine! I own and operate https://GetCloak.com/ . Cloak is a little different. Our unique features include: (1) zero configuration, (2) elegant VPN clients with first-to-market security features, like OverCloak^, and (3) tight

   We think Dropbox is great because it's so easy to use and "just works". We designed Cloak with that thought in mind.

   Hi folks. I'm one of the three guys who runs Cloak ( https://www.getcloak.com/ ). Cloak is a super simple VPN where both the back-end service and front-end apps are tightly integrated. (We think of it as the "Dropbo

   Howdy, CryptoSeal guys. It was great grabbing a beer with you in SFO earlier this year and talking about the VPN space. GetCloak.com continues to go well. I didn't realize you were heading in the consumer direction. We should probably

   One thousand times yes. VPNs have many uses, but true anonymity ain't one. I wrote a bit about it on our blog, here: https://www.getcloak.com/blog/2011/11/30/word-anonymity/

    I built GetCloak.com. I draw a hard distinction between privacy and anonymity and feel that it's disingenuous for VPN services to claim that they offer anonymity. Here's our take on it: https://www.getcloak.com/blog/2011/11/30/word-anonymi

    Thanks! Drop me a line at dave[at]getcloak[dot]com and let's sync up. I'll tell you about our work in and thoughts on the small teams and SMB space, too.

    Very cool, congrats on the launch! We've been running https://www.getcloak.com/ for about a year now. Let's swap "easy-to-set-up, easy-to-use" VPN war stories sometime if you're interested.

    This is unfortunate, but quite common. If you accept credit cards online, you're at risk. The specific kind of fraudulent behavior you see will depend on several factors (the nature of your business; whether you enable transfer from users t

    I'm not a cryptographer. That said: the PDF you link to seems to show that provably secure steganography (as defined by this paper) exists if, and only if, one-way functions exist. (See section 5.3) It so happens that if one-way functions e

    In the near-term, as you point out, Photoshop is useless on a Retina display (unless you're driving it at full @1x resolution.) I'm glad I've got my trusty old Samsung 213T at home. Even _when_ Adobe gets around to adding Retina support in

    Neat. After a quick poke around, this looks like a great codebase to learn from -- I will certainly point aspiring iOS developers in its direction. All the basics (CoreData, custom table views) are there, as are nice uses of more modern fea

    We did this with the thought that HN is as much about news as it is about a community of makers building cool things and great businesses. I enjoyed learning more about MixRank, for example. I suppose to each their own.

    So much fun, thank you. Some of my earliest programming was on a C64 with the Merlin Assembler -- this brought me back _and_ brought a big grin to my face.
