@HNmods, any reason this was removed from the first page?

We'll use standard DHE if the user selects an RSA cert (2048, 3072, or 4096). And we'll use ECDHE if the user selects an Elliptic Curve cert. We'll also be displaying a disclaimer about the potential issues with ECC (certai

You're probably right. We've already changed to 2048 DH everywhere. Do you have any opinion on if that is a strong enough default?

For OpenVPN - which is the only protocol we advise for real security (PPTP and IPSec/L2TP are fine for just hiding your IP) - we don't use pre-shared keys. OpenVPN uses TLS for exchanging strong symmetric keys. Your password is

If you use PIA our Windows (and OSX) app has a feature (on by default) which blocks IPv6 while you're on the VPN. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/#...

Uh, no. We aren't subsidized by the NSA or any part of any government or any organization or person for that matter. We bootstrapped Private Internet Access with 500$ and a lot of caffeine and have been profitable since our second mo

Looks like app.net isn't perfect either. Their HSTS isn't implemented correctly. Only 'alpha.app.net' and 'join.app.net' are protected while 'app.net' is not. They fell into one of the common pitfa

Has anyone else not been receiving 'charge.succeeded' events on their Stripe webhooks? We have been receiving all events except that one, even when all charges are succeeding as verified through the management panel. This is a big problem

I just remembered it's not actually custom protocols with raw sockets that are common and don't respect SOCKS settings but rather Flash's RTMP protocol.

Yea I should have. I guess I forgot to because I had already done so in these other comments [1] and wrongly assumed everyone had read them as well. Anyway, I'm the cofounder of said service. [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43073

If you email me at coderrr.contact@gmail.com I can try to help figure out why you get slow speeds on some of our US servers. None of our servers are even running near capacity.

You're correct HTTP connections over flash will use HTTP proxy settings. The problem is many sites don't stream over HTTP, they use some custom streaming protocol using raw flash sockets. And these do not respect SOCKS proxy settings.

You actually can, but it's quite complicated. I wrote a post on how to do it using linux a long time ago: http://coderrr.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/how-to-force-flash-o... I had a similar setup working with OSX using ipfw and natd. Really

As I've said in other comments. This is fun and hackerish but it's cheaper and simpler to just sign up for a VPN for a month that has UK gateways. Like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ for $6.95

Or you could sign up at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com for our VPN with two UK gateways for 6.95 for one month. Cheaper and much easier to setup. And from what I remember flash does not follow the system SOCKS proxy settings: htt

Our VPN at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com also has multiple gigabits of bandwidth available through our two UK gateways. We have an app that provides one click setup on both windows and osx.

This is being reposted. The last post got killed from the front page due to a paragraph which was giving prizes through coinbase.com to first 5 insightful comments. That's now been removed as it was seen as scammy/cheating and of course t

Cheating on getting comments? I really didn't care if we had comments or not, I thought it was a good enough post on its own. I thought giving the first 5 people a prize through a YC company wouldn't be seen as scamming. I could see the a

We removed the end of our post about paying the first 5 people 0.5 BTC through coinbase since it seems that's probably what got this post killed from the front page. Kinda sad since the intention was clearly to help promote coinbase.com

How about his indirect endorsement?

The goal is to help spread usage of the YC startup and indirectly bitcoin.

if you want 0.5 BTC you gotta put an email because I'm going to send it through coinbase.com not the BTC network itself
