zhang888 1066 Posted ... The only good thing I can see in this review is the list of providers.Since when accepting Bitcoin is "Activism"?Donations - why only EFF? Other open source project do not count?Technical - what about dedicated vs. virtual servers (Which 90% of providers in that list use). Those are the main things such list should consist of. 2 InactiveUser and rickjames reacted to this Quote Hide zhang888's signature Hide all signatures Occasional moderator, sometimes BOFH.

foxmulder 43 Posted ... How can you know if virtual or dedicated servers are used ? As long as the company doesn't specify on this, how can you as a user find out ? Quote Share this post Link to post
zhang888 1066 Posted ... You need to be familiar with the hosting community, but generally if a provider has 100 countries its a dead giveaway.

Because the cost of having dedicated servers in 100+ countries would be absurd. 1 zhang888 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
Khariz 109 Posted ... The post before zhang's is the one he's responding to. Having servers in 100+ countries is a dead giveaway to a VPN company using virtual servers rather than dedicated servers. 1 rickjames reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

NecroKatze 1 Posted ... You need to be familiar with the hosting community, but generally if a provider has 100 countries its a dead giveaway.Maybe i have completely misinterpreted but it seems like some of AirVPN nodes go through known VPS hosts. Linode for example. Quote Share this post Link to post

Linode for example. Air never used Linode as long as I am a member, which is more than 3 years+.They do use Amazon for light services like DNS resolvers, but that's about it. You will never finda cheap oversold node advertized as a real server here. This is why they are not afraid to show therealtime graphs with RRDtool, something you will unlikely find with others.
