  • What is a VPN?

    In other words, a VPN will obfuscate your computer IP and keep your activity anonymous.

  • What is OpenVPN?

    OpenVPN is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange. (Source)

  • What is the difference between a Seedbox and a VPN?

    A Seedbox operates independently from your local internet connection and it can also have VPN capabilities.

    A Seedbox is not relying on your internet bandwidth but on it’s own and usually comes with a good port. A VPN, while offers secure and anonymous connectivity, is relying on your local bandwidth.

    The safety of the Seedbox resides in the fact it is physically based on  a remote location and under a different jurisdiction.

  • What is the difference between a Dedicated Server and a Seedbox?

    A Dedicated Server is a server that only you have access to,. You have your own individual connection to the network, you have complete control over resources, and you are the only user on that server. A Seedbox is a virtual server, meaning there is 1 main server and a few users have to share the servers bandwidth. In our Seedbox plans, each user has its own own desktop, each user have their own set of memory, disk space and CPU power. One user simply can’t bog down the entire server, and you simply do not notice you are using a shared server as well.

    Our servers are currently located in France and Netherlands.

What matters more, is how many users are per hard disk, and we never cross 4 users per one hard disk. We designed our plans to give the absolutely best IO results for each customer.
