What
is Surf Bouncer?
Surf Bouncer is a personal VPN subscription service that provides
access to our high encryption servers in order to secure
your connection to the internet. The cost is $3.99 per
week recurring weekly, $14.99 per
month recurring monthly or
$99.99 per year, billed annually.
The personal VPN software we
provide is free and is based on Open-VPN which is a highly
regarded and tested open source
product. You pay only the monthly subscription fee for the
service.
How do I set it up?
Once you have subscribed to the
service, we will set you up in our servers and email you
a user name and password. You will need this information
to log in and create your encrypted connection. We will
send you this information within a few hours of
subscribing to the service. In the mean time,
download and install the software on your computer. Once
you receive your login information you can run the
program and make your secure connection.
How long has this been
available?
Surf Bouncer hotspot VPN has been available around the world
since 2006, including Europe and
the Middle East as well as the USA. It has worked
very well -- even when carrying voice calls through
services such as Skype.
Without Surf Bouncer, is any consumer Wi-Fi
network totally secure?
No wireless Wi-Fi network or hotspot is
totally secure. Everyone who is using the network, with
the right tools, can see everyone else on the hotspot or
network.
The tools to do this are available freely on the
internet. Any school kid can download these tools and
use them to spy on you. It's up to you to shield
yourself from these unseen threats.
What about free alternatives?
There are a few free applications out there that provide
what seems like viable protection at your favorite
hotspot shielding you from spying intruders. However,
many of these free alternatives provide their own spam
in the form of advertisements and links to other web
sites. They limit your bandwidth, are often
unreliable or don't work on some networks. Some of them
even scan your data for marketing purposes and build
databases based on your private data. Since they
only make money on the advertising data presented or
gathered from you they cut you off after they have
marketed to you sufficiently. For less than $9.00 a month Surf
Bouncer provides industrial strength servers and
encryption with no advertisements, no spyware and no
intrusion on your privacy. Unlike some of these free
services we will never sell your name or email to
anyone.

Recently at a Vegas
hackers convention, hackers displayed the ease in which they
could tap into the local wireless network and spy on what
everyone else on the network was doing. They could read emails,
obtain passwords and other private information of people who
were on the network. Gaining access was a breeze even into
wireless networks where logins were required. Therefore, whether
you travel often for business, share a Wi-Fi network with
co-workers or simply frequent cafes, utilizing Wi-Fi networks
will bring convenience...and threats.
