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

Hi Everyone,

I hope all of you are enjoying the outcome of the games so far. I would imagine a few of you have even put some wagers down on the games.

Anyways, I’m pleased to begin public beta testing for our new SSTP Stealth Technology VPN Service for the United Kingdom. This technology is designed from the ground up to defeat all filters, corporate firewalls that block vpn’s, public hotel’s that block vpn’s, government networks that block vpn’s, and even local isp’s that block them too. Absolutely no router re-configuration is ever needed for this and I’m pretty sure no firewall can block this.

What I’m looking for is a few of you out there at work or somewhere that the local networks block vpn usage. I’m especially interested in clients that live in Thailand, China, Cuba, Bulgaria, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the remaining hard-line middle eastern countries. I’m looking for countries that take a hard pro-censorship approach to the internet. This will give me a very clear indication of whether this technology is worth its weight or not. But I’m inviting any one interested to participate no matter where you live.

The requirements for participation are as follows:

1.) You must have either Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 or Windows 7. Sorry Windows XP users, your operating system does not support this technology.

2.) You must be an existing client and already have an existing service with us.

3.) Due to the semi-complicated initial setup procedure, an IAPS technician will have to perform live remote support for you to complete the setup. Once the initial setup has been completed, its just point and click from there from that point on.

4.) You acknowledge that you will be placed on an isolated, non-production server for this test. You are not guaranteed any particular up times and that at the end of the public beta test you will be removed from that server.

To express your desire to be included in this public beta test, please use our contact form (http://www.intl-alliance.com/store/index.php?main_page=contact_us) and provide the following:

1.) Your Name
2.) Your Email Address
3.) Your Team Viewer Remote Support Credentials (instructions for live remote support are included in your original account setup email.)

Just to re-cap, I’m hoping that those that send in participation requests are in places that normally block vpn services such as their work environment, public networks, libraries, universities, etc…

Best Regards,
Jared T.
IAPS Director of Network Security
