What type of VPN Connection you are providing?
We provide PPTP, L2TP over IPSec and OpenVPN compatible VPN services. Our VPN services are a simple and very effective method to add a reasonable amount of freedom, privacy and security to your Internet usage. If you participate in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, IRC chat rooms, online games or have the desire to keep your web surfing then you will find our service extremely valuable.

You can use our services on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, Linux, iPhone, Internet Tablets (Nokia 770, n800, N810), PocketPC and Windows Mobile.


How does a VPN account work?
As soon as you connect to our VPN server your computer is assigned a new IP address, an IP address that is owned by us, not your ISP. Then all of your Internet traffic is encrypted and is tunneled to our VPN server. Once there, it is decrypted and allowed to travel to its intended destination. Your local ISP will only see a single encrypted data stream between you and our VPN server. Your ISP can no longer monitor, log or control your Internet usage. Currently we have 8 servers in United states, United Kingdom, Germany and Spain.


Why would I want to use your VPN Accounts?
It really depends how you use the Internet. If you are at work you may wish to use our service so that your employer can not log, monitor or control how you are using the Internet. Maybe you are looking for a new job and don't want your boss to know about it.

If you wish to use a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, but your ISP has blocked or throttled (slowed) the P2P traffic. Most ISP's traffic shape P2P traffic to make it use less bandwidth causing slow downloads. Some ISP's& Block access to web sites and web services, using web account you can visit any web sites and use any service. If you use our VPN service your ISP will no longer be able to determine that you are using a P2P network and will not be able to block or throttle your usage.


How do I get a VPN Account?
It's simple, just Sign up for a subscription now and get access details and instructions on your email within few minutes after payment approval.


What to do in case my ISP block your service domain / IP ?
Please Report this using support form, We will provide you a new address in 24 hours.


How Does Anonymity work?
All traffic leaves one of our given servers with the same external IP address. Thus the anonymity. All the traffic of many users becomes mingled together inseparably. Now when traffic leaves the server it also has a session id number associated with it so when the traffic gets answered or returned the server can route it back to the correct user. The session id has an internal IP addresses for the user and these internal IP addresses are variable and change frequently during the day.

We are the only service to use variable IP internal addresses as far as we know. If someone gets your IP address while on the service from say a chat, a forum or an email it is will our IP address of the server you were using. If they try to attack you or something basing it on that IP address nothing will happen because the server will not be receiving a session id and internal IP address with the packets containing the attack, thus the server will be unable to deliver the packets and the attack will just time out without causing any harm to anyone. Thus our servers actually act as a hardware firewall protecting you greatly out there on the internet from all sorts of hacking and attacks.

When our VPN service is turned on all your internet traffic goes through us, you do not have to remember to route everything through a proxy. With the Socks Proxy and SSH Proxy it is application specific in that you must specify which applications are going to run through the proxy, or as we say be proxified. We suggest the use of a common freeware program called SocksCap to help facilitate this and it is basically a drag and drop program quite easy to use.


How can I send e-mail while connected to Rox VPN?
You can either use webmail (if your e-mail provider offers it), or you may send e-mail directly via the SMTP server of your e-mail provider (most providers require authentication before allowing you to send e-mail via their SMTP servers while not connected directly to their network).
