![]() ![]() However, this very concept alone pretty much excludes an open source business model as you need money to host those servers (not that open source necessarily means non-profit). The more servers the host has, the more likely you are to have a server closer to you (which in turn, means faster speeds of course). After all, if someone is going to take the time to crack the 256 AES encryption, you didn't stand a chance anyway. The key is to find a VPN that's in the middle of the road, not too slow but also quite secure. VPN's are usually either slow & private, or quick & public. (If you decide to get both, simply uncheck your BitTorrent application from HideMyAss's interface and use BTGuard instead) You can use the OpenVPN client as a stand alone, however. Neither are open source, though HideMyAss's VPN does implement an open source protocol, OpenVPN. BTGuard specializes in P2P-based private networking, whereas HideMyAss just isn't an option in that area (see below for details). Neither is useful for your case. The only option is to PAY for a VPN service, like BTGuard or - defininately go for one that's specifically ok with torrents. You download torrents via their remote IP, basically, and any records that you used the service are not kept. Once you have this remote server that will act as a gateway for you, you don't actually need any additional (open source or otherwise) software - every OS has built-in capabilities to connect to a VPN. The router VPN functionality you mention either means it has the ability to let all local traffic be routed via the VPN (as opposed to a single machine), or that it has the ability to accept VPN connections as a server. ![]() However, you can't just "download a open source VPN" - you need the remote server somewhere, run by someone who will delete all access records should the feds come knocking (or in another country). ![]() The client IP however is hidden, which is what you want to accomplish. The server IP is publicly known - there's no way to prevent that. A VPN requires 2 machines - one to act as a server, and one to act as the client. I think you're misunderstanding what a VPN is, so let me explain it. ![]()
