StrongVPN is a premium service. The price is higher than most of the other VPN services, but it provides good quality. The speed is great for most of the serves and there is no bandwidth limitation.
To sum up, StrongVPN is not for everyone due to the price but if you can afford it you should try it.

I am wondering what all of you use a VPN service for! Obviously it is not for privacy or anonymity and it is just looking for someplace to access facebook or the like. This being the case you could find a much cheaper alternative.
Looking at their site http://www.strongvpn.com/acceptable.shtml one can notice the privacy (lack of) policy where they blatantly say they will ‘rat you out’ without notice. Here is the exact wording for those not inclined to read their policy “BOC may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a client, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or USA governmental request. BOC assumes no obligation to inform the client that client information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, BOC may disclose client information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect BOC and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.”
This means if someone asks for it with a discovery request in a U.S. civil lawsuit, someone from any law enforcement agency “requests” it or StrongVPN decides it is “necessary” to protect their own best interests they will provide info without even telling you. That is a true mark of privacy like putting on a faulty bulletproof vest.
Second it relies on PPTP which has been repeatedly exposed as insecure and riddled with security flaws. Please don’t take my word for it, check out this article http://tinyurl.com/ya59gsn .
I am hopeful this spreads some light on what to look for in a vpn.
Cheers!

I love my StrongVPN account and have been working with StrongVPN to develop a router with built in client support using dd-wrt. We’ve got it done and it’s working flawlessly! I’m on my wireless laptop writing this “from England”, though I’m really in my living room in USA. The Linksys router with dd-wrt OS is all setup with routing and firewall configured. All you do is put in your server/client IP, username and password and the router connects and gives that feed to your home/business in wireless and to the 4 wired Gigabit ports. You can add a wireless bridge to feed this stream to your media center. Pretty kewl!
Anyway, thought your readers would be interested. The product link is at http://sabaitechnology.com/StrongVPN-Client-Router-N-P841634.aspx
