About
VPNTunnel creates an encrypted VPN tunnel between your computer and VPNTunnel's secure servers. It can be likened to a very long network cable directly between your computer and the internet.
When you connect, you are assigned a public IP address chosen from a pool, and all traffic is automatically redirected via VPNTunnel. You can even configure your browser to use the existing connection to save your bandwidth credit! This gives you a number of advantages:
- Your existing ISP will not be able to intercept or track your activities online
- Your existing ISP cannot limit what you can do, or what information you can access
- Other organisations or individuals cannot intercept your traffic to our servers.
Similar services have been available on the Internet for some time, however VPNTunnel is the first to provide both tunneling (avoiding filtering and service blocking) and VPN services (compatibility for almost all applications), to give you the best solution currently available.
VPNTunnel is fast. We provide service at up to 100Mbps down and up, which is fast enough to download *and* upload a 700MB ISO in less than a minute! We do our best to ensure you have the fastest service possible, but it is important to remember that you will not be able to get more bandwidth from VPNTunnel than you currently get from your existing ISP. Try our online Speed Test to see what sort of speeds you should expect.
Notice, that in order to use VPNTunnel you need an existing broadband (cable or DSL), dialup or GPRS connection: if you can't access the Internet, you can't use VPNTunnel in its current form.

Encryption Technology
VPNTunnel uses several layers of encryption for the ultimate in security:
- To log in, 128-bit encryption is used.
- To initiate the connection, 1024-bit RSA keys are used .
- To transfer data, a 128-bit dynamically generated 128-bit encryption key is used. This changes every 20 minutes.
This means that statistically, it would take several million times the current age of the universe (in the worst case) to break our encryption.
