A VPN (virtual private network) is a method of linking computers/servers together over the internet utilizing encryption to keep the network private.

BolehVPN secures your connection to the internet by hiding your true location and encapsulating or encrypting the data that passes through the VPN making it harder for third parties to analyze/intercept the traffic.

In short BolehVPN:

• Protects your privacy by masking your IP
• Encrypts data to and from your computer that flows through the VPN (for BolehRoute)
• Accelerates your P2P (for e.g. BitTorrent) on ISPs that shape P2P traffic
• Allows you to appear from a different country than your origin country to access country specific content (Hulu, Pandora, Veoh, etc)
• Bypasses certain types of campus/corporate firewalls (we suggest a trial to determine this and to use in moderation)

BolehVPN is based off OpenVPN, an open source SSL VPN. We implement a custom GUI for Windows users to facilitate easy installation.

It is widely accepted as one of the most secure VPN implementations out there and is extremely flexible, stable and fast. It also supports a wide variety of platforms (Windows/Unix/Linux/Mac).

We also offer the less secure L2TP VPN for those of you using devices that do not have native OpenVPN support.

PPTP despite its wide usage and easy setup is one of the most vulnerable VPNs out there. Many serious security vulnerabilities have been found in the protocol. A good FAQ on PPTP's weaknesses couched in easy to understand language can be found on Bruce Schneier's site. PPTP is also primarily a Windows based VPN.

IPSec VPNs although secure when configured properly has a very large overhead which diminishes network performance making it unsuitable for high speed transfers. The configuration of IPSec VPNs are also complex and isn't friendly with firewalls.

Hence it is our belief that OpenVPN is the best solution out there for personal end user VPN with its mixture of easy setup, high performance and security.
