    imageGood afternoon.
    In this post, we will talk about the new features of our VPN service , please fans of open software and reassure the paranoid. And at the same time I want to share my opinion regarding copyright laws, enter into an unequal dispute and pat each other's karma. If you are interested in protecting personal information, would like more opportunities on the Internet and you are worried about issues of injustice in the world, then rather go inside. Those who are not familiar with us can familiarize themselves with the previous post .







    About Kebrum VPN


    After the last post, we were tested for strength - processed a lot of tickets and answered a bunch of questions. There were many problems, but we, in my opinion, could not resolve the situation with only one client. It’s boring to list small fixes and bugs, so I’ll just say that we have added a fundamentally new one.
    • Now all servers can work both over UDP and over TCP. A switch is built into the client and a field is added for additional configuration. What does this mean specifically for the client? Now you can access the Internet where NAT is poorly configured, as well as in those places where the Internet is accessible only through a proxy. It may be useful to those who will use the service at work.
    • By popular demand, we have made a web billing for you , which will allow you to register, pay for the service and download the config file for self-configuration. I think many will be happy about this opportunity. For those who overestimated their strength and can not cope with the setup, there is always a client.
    • Previously, you could check the health of the client through a demo server that taxied all the traffic to itself, and now you can connect to a real server and surf the Internet. It is clear that we do not guarantee the speed and quality of this server, but for a full check of the VPN connection on your computer, this is enough. The server is located in Odessa, so that everyone can try VPN for free.
    • On the client’s jump page, GeoTrust’s seal now flaunts, confirming the existence of our company. A nice addition for those who still doubt legality.
    • And on the same page, you can now see the RPM package for OpenSuSE and Fedora. In principle, I think it will start on almost all distributions based on RPM, but so far we tested only on these two.
    The main task now for us is the issue of blocking all traffic on the client computer when the connection is disconnected. We tried a couple of ways and settled on the option that you would have to write your own drivers. If someone has tricky ideas on this subject, then be sure to talk. We will always be happy to hear suggestions and wishes. We are pleased to do something really useful.

    Regarding Copyright


    Someone believes that information should be free, someone sees their bread in it, someone does not think or sees anything, but simply downloads it. Where does that line end when the law on ownership of a certain type of information ceases to be convenient for humanity and becomes a burden?

    In fact, everything is quite simple. Copyright laws are laws. And laws are issued in the interests of power, according to their needs and ideas. Therefore, just like any other law, copyright law expresses the interests of the authorities. If we want to build a society where everyone can earn more money (the only priority), then copyright is developing in the right direction. If we want the prosperity of mankind, then we must make information free, and work directly paid. And protect the work. The singer should receive money for the performance of the song, for the performance, in extreme cases, for the convenience of submitting their songs (well, it’s more convenient for someone to buy on iTunes than to look for where to download). And the law should protect the singer from another singer who can start singing his songs for money. Or from a merchant who, using these songs, can provide a service by selling a CD with these songs (the exclusive right of the author). But in no way should the law protect the singer from teenagers yelling with a guitar in the yard, or from a fan downloading this song. This year in Moscow there was a case when veterans were sued for performing songs of their youth. If we want to build a society where the law is higher than man and common sense, then this is a normal situation. If we want the development of mankind through the development of each person individually, then something goes wrong. If we want to build a society where the law is higher than man and common sense, then this is a normal situation. If we want the development of mankind through the development of each person individually, then something goes wrong. If we want to build a society where the law is higher than man and common sense, then this is a normal situation. If we want the development of mankind through the development of each person individually, then something goes wrong.

    Therefore, before arguing about the details of the law, let's decide what purpose it pursues, and only then can we justify the effectiveness of a particular method.

    We are waiting for questions and suggestions, we continue to do something oh awesome, your Kebrum Corp.
