HideMe.ru - VPN understandable language in 5 minutes

VPN theme rises to Layfhakere not the first and probably not even the tenth time. In comments to the posts so sometimes there are questions like 'what is it all about and why', and therefore would be useful to hold a lead.

VPN understandable language

VPN for the user - is, roughly speaking, the proxy anonymizer + + encryption, but not for some individual applications and the browser, and in general for all data on any device. VPN - this is when you do not care about all the limitations, restrictions, risks, threats, and in general everything.

• Safely connect to the Internet via a router, a PC, laptop, smartphone and tablet via any available wired and wireless networks, and not be afraid that someone will intercept your passwords, or even once It hurts.
• Browse any site that unreasonably or nonsense negligence made by Roskomnadzor blacklisted. This list has already visited and "Wikipedia", and "lurkmore" and Facebook, and Twitter. Sometimes it seems that the next victim is chosen at random. Play for unknown rules of the game do not want to obscure. The popular site, of course, unlocked quickly, and less well-known can be seated in the days and weeks locked.

• Come on foreign websites that are not available in your country of residence.
• Become a faceless anonymous, which is not "calculated by IP».

VPN for those who do not raise servaki

Around the VPN is always observed a certain "aura of geeks." Like how to make yourself such a useful piece only by seasoned web geeks. Not really. VPN these days - it's a business, and any service, counting on a mass audience, have to be simple.

In the comments to this post sure people will appear who will say that it is better to take your the VPN-servak. Okay, let's say. But what if you need to use IP-addresses from different countries? You will rent multiple servers in different locations around the world for their personal use? It is financially impractical.

And yet such a fan of your own VPN-server can be difficult to explain that in addition to him, there are millions of people who do not want and do not need to bother with this. For them, there are hundreds of simple, universal and far more flexible solution "out of the box", which do not need to be raised and adjusted. And to think about them too is not necessary. Chosen, plug and forget. By the way, about the choice.

Best VPN in the world

This VPN is not and can not be. Different people have different needs. In general, all kind of services are similar, each has certain features and lures something his own.

At the time, our chief editor admired TunnelBear.comBecause there is iOS-app. Personally, I do not understand the value of mobile applications to work through a VPN on iOS or Android, as both OSes have a built-in work means via VPN. That is, VPN settings on your iPhone, iPad or Android no more difficult than to input a username and password on any site.

I use HideMe.ru - very old service, which is about eight years old, and my acquaintance with him was about four years ago. In the case of VPN age it becomes an additional guarantee, because the beginner can throw out any piece. Especially a free beginner.

About Free VPN

Call me paranoid, but my brain refuses to trust a free service that can not be accurately and clearly explain your monetization model, and therefore the possibility of its existence. Contain VPN-service, capable of serving a large audience, very expensive. If these people do not get money from users, so they get them in some other way. Sale of data users may make money.

About Russian VPN

There are also such. The purpose of their existence, I do not understand. Why use the VPN, for example, to hide themselves and their activities on the Internet, if the services can come to the company and just take the data? Lost the whole point.

Foreign VPN is always attractive. They can not just turn up and ask something. They obey the laws of other countries and have fun sending out these pranksters. When I contacted tech support and for the interest HideMe.ru asked how she and private lives of people, I was told:

Despite our focus on Russian users, we are a foreign company, without employees and offices in the territory of the Russian Federation. Even if we want to come, it will come nowhere. The decision on granting user data can only accept the Belize Court (South America), which had no precedents of our work for eight years.

Belize - this state.

Used to be called "British Honduras". :)

126 rubles

In HideMe.ru very nice rate - 126 rubles a month. It is at an annual subscription. Of course, the rookie will not just buy an annual subscription, but cheaper by almost three times. Usually you buy a month, you use, penetrate, and only then you take a one-year subscription. With this calculation HideMe.ru will cost 349 rubles for the first month and 126 rubles for the coming months. If you look at the other services that fall in Layfhakera reviews, there price point, usually in USD, cost ranges somewhere between 5 and 10 dollars a month, and in the number of payment methods are no RF for WebMoney, "Yandex. Money "and unique to our country's payment systems. You can pay through the terminals completely anonymously, but it is beyond even my paranoia.

For 126 rubles HideMe.ru allows without any restrictions Surf through 74 servers in 35 countries. This is another advantage of the old service - developed infrastructure. Most of the young service can not boast of such a fatty chain, offering mainly popular locations in the US and Europe. The number of servers also reduces the average load of each. This directly affects the speed - is much less likely to get an overloaded server and endure "dialapovskie" indicators of reception and bestowal.

Pipitipi and other interesting words

About as protected, encryption and other technical component I will not write anything. I think all these things are taken for granted. Service not live a few years, if it has an explicit security holes and not implemented a proper level of security.

Yes, in the description there is an interesting word, lists the supported protocols and so on, but the service prudently does not load the user unnecessary information and puts it in a popup window with a note "Spice". Everything works as it should provide a degree of safety and security of? Wonderful. The rest - this is really a topic for specialists that solve some of his specific task. At the user level is enough for me that this service for many years without the criticism does what I need, and asks for a very little money.

Five minutes before the VPN

Initially said that to discover the charms of the Internet through a VPN less than five minutes. This is true. You can measure the time and step by step all perform.

Registrations, of course, not. This basic rule of good tone for any normal VPN. Go to the website, select the "Try for free".

Yes, do not have to pay at the beginning. In the case of HideMe.ru given a free day for full testing. The crate falls letter code and instructions on how to set up for computers, smartphones and tablets.

Code - that is all that is required for further use of the service. No accounts, all impersonal. We enter the code on the website in the corresponding field of the "Connect to the VPN».

Along the way, the service again clarify to which device is configured VPN at the moment, and will provide all necessary.

In the case of a computer to Windows will offer the choice of a simple app for the casual user or the settings for the bearded administrators.

For computers on other OSes available customization options: a particularly stable connection to the everyday needs of a very rapid and nizkopingovoe games.

For mobile devices - clear step by step setup.

With five minutes of application installation and configuration are reduced to one minute. Suffice it to point code, select the server and everything just works. In addition to simplicity, from the Windows-prilozhenki have another significant advantage - the ability to restrict access to the Internet at break due to the VPN. This option eliminates the possibility that any data in the absence of VPN suddenly go through the IP-address of the real.

To dispel the myth of the VPN configuration complexity on mobile devices, attaching screenshots of the process from the first to the last step on Android.

Go to "Settings» → «Wireless Networks» → «More» → VPN. Unless there is a password on the lock screen of the smartphone, you need to put, or else in the VPN is not empty. Hit plus sign and creating a new VPN-connection, filling in the fields in accordance with the instruction. server address, select any of the list in the instructions (I chose Munich, Germany).

Mariae the generated compound. Name - this is the code obtained in HideMe.ru. Password - the default mailbox, which came to the code, you can change it.

That's all. On my smartphone is already running the VPN, and 2ip.ru says I do in Germany.

Free daily code would be enough to test the VPN up and down on all devices. Start in the morning and use all day, measure the speed and so on. And then - 126 rubles a month. Try. It's much easier than you might imagine.
