A VPN provider with absolutely no privacy policy on their site, no mention of logging, anonymity, or other VPNi buyer concerns, ...funny!

TorrentFreak has a list of 12 questions...answer them please so VPSBoard users will be able to compare your service to other VPN providers.

I like how your logo is fan art (of a copyrighted character) stolen from DeviantArt. A++ sleaziness!

Ah fan art (aka a derivative work of a copyrighted work)...messy subject, but using a derivative work for commercial purposes (logo of a VPN service) probably isn't the brightest thing to do because while (most) copyright holders will tolerate fan art if it is made by a fan for noncommercial purposes, they tend to draw the one when it is being used for commercial purposes.  Using a derivative work for the logo of a commercial site really doesn't fall under fair use guidelines.

Wonderful, now how about making your website compliant with UK law?  refresher for commercial sites: http://www.out-law.com/page-431

Identical TOS , identical templates, identical meta tags ,and "Neatherlands" [sic] misspelling.  Different logos and pricing but that's about it.

Oh, don't get me wrong -- I have no problem with fan art. Nor does Valve, the creator of that character:

Quote said:
D. License to Use Valve Game IP in Fan Art.

Valve appreciates the community of Subscribers that creates fan art, fan fiction, and audio-visual works that reference Valve games ("Fan Art"). You may incorporate content from Valve games into your Fan Art. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section or in any Subscription Terms, you may use, reproduce, publish, perform, display and distribute Fan Art that incorporates content from Valve games however you wish, but solely on a non-commercial basis.

But, you know, creating fan art and stealing fan art are two different things, plus this is of course commercial use.

WORST NAME OF 2015.

WORST CHARACTER SCHTICK OF 2015.

LESS UPTIME THAN WITH THE LITTLE BLUE PILL (99%)

ARE YOU READY TO START YOUR ANONYMOUS JOURNEY?  --- yes in fact... Do you accept accounts with fake names and payment details that don't match?  In lieu of that, how about Bitcoin with entirely bogus details.  The raging women against Hentai have outlawed cartoon abuse in my kingdom.  I must find shelter for my oddness.  Can you provide refuge?

Just picked it up less than 2 days ago.  Flippa auction for the site ended unsold 2 days ago.

The fact that it's a turnkey Flippa site explains the hideandseekvpn.com twin. :p

Template unique?

No

Content unique?

No

Design unique?

No

This is a duplicate website. The content and design are in use on at least one other website.

I like the previous owner's listing of the monthly costs to run this "business":

Quote said:
3. All of the location servers in total cost around $25 a month, $15 for WHMCS and $2 for web hosting. So in total, You need like $42 USD to run the VPN.

"Let me tell you something, When I came to the VPN industry, I knew nothing. If you have a passion to learn, You will succeed. I am always here to teach and help you."

Yeah,  these fucking children.   Success is a $300 business on Flippa.  Even in the most impoverished low per capita country this is not success or stepping near it.  50 customers x $2 = $100 income... Whoopie!

This learning on the job is fine, where you have some base real knowledge.   You don't go start at the logging company with no experience or you'd be dead under a big tree or self tossed through a chipper.

I love that guys are dicking around with anonymity, providing cover per se (inferred) for activity / use that might in some places land a customer if outted in prison or facing death.

Same know nothings can't be trusted to secure anything and are prime hack targets.  Cause they know nothing.

Entirely a disgrace and mockery.   If young guys want to be entrepreneurs, swell.  Get a sales job, learn the ropes, get into commission sales, go do your own inspired spin off.  WHEN YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE.

I have decades of practical IT experience and with all the potential for disaster I won't go toss my hat in the provider world.  But some pimple faced suburban (usually) teen is blissfully no fucks given (mental virgin too) about practicality. This isn't VR or a video game kids, it's real life. Keeps pissing me off these companies and the clown shops with fake products.  Go read About Us, not a lick about who owns the garbage.  

Reminds me of the frequent HURRY AND BUY from Liam advert spam heaps and his VPN-CAN'T-WORK-THIS-YEAR-NEED-MORE-PLAY-FUNDS.
