The overall cost of a seedbox service really hasn’t changed all that much over the past 18 months, but what has changed is what you can expect to get for your money. Providers that offer seedboxes with torrent limits are being left behind in favor of more robust (and affordable) solutions - with "slices" (VPSes) of a server being a preferred choice among pro seedboxers. Here we review & compare 14 new seedbox providers including a seedbox with 50 GB storage, unlimited torrents, unlimited bandwidth for just $10 a month.

The 10 Best Free Web Proxies For Anonymous Surfing

November 29, 08 by sharky   66,394  views  

Let’s face it: There are hundreds of free web proxies out there that provide anonymous surfing. Of these, most will even unblock MySpace, Gmail, FaceBook or any other no-no when surfing from school or work. Some have taken this a step further and allow for signing into your MSN, AIM or Yahoo! messaging accounts - conveniently through an anonymized (and secure) SSL version of eBuddy.com. Others allow for sending anonymous emails and newsgroup postings, even YouTube viewing. But is there really a "best" web proxy? We’re not sure about that; there’s pro’s and con’s to each one. Either way, here’s our picks for the Top Ten best free web proxies on the Internet, and why.

Total Anonymity - A List of VPN Service Providers

October 18, 08 by sharky   147,955  views  

What To Look For When Purchasing a VPN Service

It all depends what you’re looking to do with it. For simple anonymous browsing, some providers offer this for as little as $5/month, or even for free. But if you want a total Internet traffic anonymizing experience, a premium VPN account is a better way to go - there’s no IP numbers to configure into the webapps, and no software to install - just set up the VPN and it’s done! Other VPN selling points include:

Anonymous BitTorrent Through a VPN - The Speed Tests

October 16, 08 by sharky   46,942  views  

To successfully bypass a BitTorrent-blocking university or the evil throttling of a bad ISP, the use of a seedbox is more than adequate. Another solution is to incorporate a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service, and tunnel all of your Internet traffic through a new IP address. Not only will your ISP be unable to "see" what you’re sending & receiving, but your home IP is kept out of the torrent; or anything else for that matter. Essentially, a VPN anonymizes all of your traffic.

We’ve touched on the subject of VPNs here at FSF before, but never actually ran any conclusive testing to prove that not only does it work; but more importantly, to verify BitTorrent transfer speeds. For this, we purchased a month of VPN service, anonymized the PC and ran some speed tests on both public and private trackers. As expected, the results were unsurprisingly very good.

Browse Torrents Anonymously at Mass-Torrent.com

August 25, 08 by sharky   7,742  views  

Restrictions brought on by your ISP or network (workplace, school or global location) may result in the inability to surf certain torrent sites. Perhaps your IP address has been banned by a tracker (and the website) for inappropriate behavior. Or maybe you’d just feel much safer being anonymous while surfing torrent sites. Bypassing all this is simple enough - just visit an anonymous web proxy (or CGI proxy) such as anonymouse.org, type in the URL and start torrenting. But if you’re a heavy torrent user you may find this to be a major hassle.

Mass-Torrent.com solves this by incorporating a torrent site search paralleled with anonymous browsing. What makes this service unique is that all searching is conducted through the Mass Torrent Proxy, but the results are displayed through an anonymized webpage of the actual torrent site. And it’s fast, too! Unlike most public web proxy services, you probably won’t even notice a difference in pageload times.

At long last, Phoenix Labs, the company behind the popular IP blocking software for Windows, has come out with a major revamped version for Mac OS X users.

IP Blocking for uTorrent in Windows XP & Vista

April 01, 08 by sharky   119,841  views  

For years now, Anti-P2P organizations have been polluting BitTorrent with fake peers and bogus torrent files, which send out fake or corrupt data in order to slow down file transfers and/or log the IP addresses of users who ’share’ the torrent. This is typically rampant on a communal BitTorrent level through publicly-accessible torrents from popular sites such as ThePirateBay, mininova, Isohunt, et al. Consequences range from those laughable (but sometimes scary) DMCA notices sent from your ISP; cease-and-desist letters; and even worse, pre-litigation letters from any company under the RIAA / MPAA / IFPI “umbrella”.

To significantly reduce your chances of connecting with malicious peers, the integration of IP Blocking is crucial to P2P safety. This can be approached through third-party software, including PeerGuardian2 or Blocklist Manager - but it can also be handled client-side through IP blocklists. µTorrent supports IP blocking at the BitTorrent protocol level - and it’s a great solution for Vista users who don’t yet have the option of using an external program such as PeerGuardian2.

PeerGuardian - IP Blocking for Windows Vista

April 01, 08 by sharky   15,303  views  

The first thing that PeerGuardian users notice when upgrading to Windows Vista is that the old PG2 doesn’t work. That being said, the PhoenixLabs team has been hard-at-work on a Vista solution, and thus far have come up with a working beta-release of PeerGuardian3 (called RC1-Test2).

Installation - Vista users

Download the latest version from http://phrosty.phoenixlabs.org/pg2-rc1/. The current release is “pg2-rc1-test2.exe“. NOTE: This beta release has been tested with all versions of MS Windows, although it is not recommended for anything other than Vista at this point in development. Non-Vista users should ideally opt for a “stable” release from the http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ page.

Setting up ‘ProxyWay’ for Anonymous Browsing

March 05, 08 by sharky   22,792  views  

ProxyWay is a very good (Free) all-in-one solution for anonymous web surfing. Never again will you have to visit those slow CGI anonymous proxy websites (anonymouse.org, proxify.com). It offers the same features of a CGI proxy through software incorporated seamlessly through any web browser. The reason ProxyWay stands out among other anonymous web solutions is that it features multiple proxies working together simultaneously in the background. Not only does this put to shame the speeds of browser-based proxies, but it also acts as a dynamic proxy chain to provide an even higher level of anonymity. With ProxyWay; feel free to do your online banking or secure shopping - something that nobody in their right mind should ever do through a public CGI proxy.
