The odd-musings of Jared, the Director of Network Security for IAPS Security Services.

Hi Folks,

Pursuant to my earlier post today, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve just wrapped up a brand new dialer series that lets you switch vpn accounts instantaneously between our 18 core countries. This comes as a zero configuration dialer and you can be online and connected to a vpn network within seconds after the initial installation. Supporting both 32 and 64 bit systems, and providing for PPTP and L2TP/IPSec connections, you have enough choices here to keep you satisfied for a long time to come. I won’t even mention the new pricing structure…..

If your interested…..come see what I’m talking about.

Hi Folks,

Please be advised that we are re-creating the VPN Combo Packs section of our store area to including an updating on pricing (a bit lower ) and to include a multi-country single install dialer that only requires one user name and password. This means you will be able to install a single dialer and be able to pick and choose which countries you choose to vpn into. These dialers will be offered in PPTP & L2TP/IPSec (AES 128 & 256 bit encryption). Packages made available in our store area will reflect the most commonly ordered countries and other combinations that we feel will be of most use to our clients.

We are also working on a dialer series for our British TV clients that will include a 3-server dialer. This means each British TV subscriber will have access to 3 independent British servers. So if 1 server goes down for any reason, you still have 2 other servers to depend upon until we can get the third one back up. This is part of our new 100% Assurance Uptime Guarantee. I’ll make a further announcement here when the category has been updated in our store area. Thank you for your time.

Hi Folks,

We’ve been beefing up security dramatically around here and have come into standards-enhanced PCI Compliance through the standards set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council.

What is PCI?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.

The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) was launched on September 7, 2006 to manage the ongoing evolution of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards with focus on improving payment account security throughout the transaction process. The PCI DSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB).

The IAPS Security Store has been validated as in compliance by the Comodo Group’s Hacker Proof Service which has independently conducted a security assessement and vulnerability scan of our primary website and its server.

When visiting the IAPS Security Store from this point on, you will see 2 independent seals: A.) The Hacker Proof CPI Compliance Certificate and B.) our Elite SSL Certificate that verifies you are buying products and services from a registered corporation.

Hi Folks,

You read it right. For the few few days, buy any country VPN Service and get another country thrown in absolutely free of charge for the same time period as the purchased country. This includes your choice of PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, and SSTP. Our newest country, Sweden is also a part of this deal. Now would be the prime time to get in on this as the offers have never been better than this. This offer ends in just a few days. When placing your order, please specify the free country you’d like and the operating system you will be using so we know which type of vpn to send you. Thank you.

Hi Folks,

I’m pleased to release Sweden to you folks as our newest country. This country will serve as a tri-mode service and will be capable of PPTP, L2TP/IPSec & SSTP VPN Service. It is my hopes that you enjoy this country and use it as another option in your quest as you traverse the internet to get your business done. If you have any questions or comments, please drop us a line.

Hi Folks,

IAPS Security Services, L.L.C. is pleased to introduce a new incentive for our existing clients. For each new client that you refer to us that places an order, you get a free month added to your existing tv or vpn account. For example: refer 3 new clients to us that place orders and you get 3 free months added to your own account. No gimmicks here or fine print. This is as easy as it gets. A free month for each new client that places an order and you can refer as many clients as you wish and you get credited with a month of service for each order resulting from your referral. To sweeten the deal even more, we’ll let you choose any additional country you want.

Hi Folks,

I forgot to mention in the last post that our new Windows 7 Remote Desktop Service has demos available for you to view so you can have an idea of its capabilities and see first-hand what it can do before you consider purchasing it. If you’d like to setup a viewing and have a little play with this type of system, get in touch with me and we’ll setup a time.

Hi Folks,

We currently have a 2-day only sale going on throughout the entire store. Most items are marked 20% off the normal prices so now is a good time to get in there and renew those accounts! Remember, SSTP VPN instructions are available for all the countries we serve.

Hi Folks,

Its been brought to my attention that I need to further clarify some of the vpn security settings. For those of you that currently use PPTP or L2TP/IPSec settings and have a manual setup configured on your computer, can toggle between PPTP or L2TP/IPSec at your convenience any time you’d like. See the illustrated example below:

Right below that selector, you can also choose what strength of security works best for you and your computer. This is a handy feature to know about if a particular vpn protocol is working poorly for you or you just want to know what the alternative options are.

Hi Folks,

The United Kingdom series of the Intranet servers is SSTP ready and good to go. If you are assigned to this series, please let us know and we’ll help you get setup. We are working on the Swiss, German, and Italian series today and we should be able to wrap those up pretty quickly. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you.
