(Tested account: real DynIP account) UNBLOCKVPN is a service which purposes 6 PPTP/OPENVPN servers in CZ, UK, SK and recently in the USA.
The core server gives you a full dynamic IP (no need to forward anything / all ports are available for you) which changes on every hang-up.
Skype, MSN works and others well known protocols too ;)
Download is between 200 and 300 KB/s at 6pm GMT and can be 700 KB/s at 5am GMT
The upload is about: - 120 KB/s in PPTP mode instead of 125 KB/s in my DSL line with my own French IP. - 105 KB/s in OpenVPN mode.
Default DNS given by DHCP are Google DNS. The patch to grab these DNS in PPTP mode are available below on this document.
FYI i have noticed in OpenVPN than some TLS keys are exchanged every hour (log speaks about "TLS expiry key") but they are no disconnections...
For 5$ per month or 50$ per year (payement by Paypal or other Liberty Reserve), you have a nice service. Twice the price give you fixed IP.

IPSEC is easy to implement but use of PPTP on Windows needs more steps comparing to his competitors... hoping PPTP can work by default on smartphones but i'm not sure... Download is highly fluctuent depending on choosen server and hour of connexion (from 100KB/s in CA to 1,7 Mo/s in Europe.
The upload is about: - 129 KB/s in PPTP mode instead of 135 KB/s in my DSL line with my own French IP. - 122 KB/s in L2TP/IPSEC mode.

(in progress) Lot of things you must known about VPN: - Traffic for VPN can be capped by your ISP thanks to DPI routers, - If you are often disconnected from your VPN, it can be too your own ISP, - Some VPN IP addresses are filtered by catch-up TVs, - Some VPN IP addresses are filtered by some free FTP services to avoid malwares, - Some VPN blocks port 25, - Some Youtube contents available in your country can not be available from VPN coz you have an foreign IP, - Some (catch-up) TV programs available in your country can not be available from VPN coz you have an foreign IP, - Some Websites refuse well-known VPN IP connexions, - in OpenVPN mode, your firewall software is unused, - VPN traffic can be blocked on a few public WIFI systems.
(in progress) HOW TO BLOCK NON-VPN TRAFFIC IN ALL CASES ? 1) use the batch below *OR* 2) block all ports in the router except 1723 TCP and 47 for PPTP and 1701 UDP (L2TP) (it is better to use IP instead of DNS name but lot of VPN providers give your DNS name... FYI serious VPN providers warn you when server and IP will changes.
F.A.Q for users: Q: Why you boring us with dynamic IP ? You can be catched by RIAAeven with dynamic IP thanks to the connexion log kept by your ISP ! A: I'm take care of this ! I only wish not to be tracked by my IP thanks toa regular "83.157.189.100 ip" search engine request ! 28th July at 17h10 83.157.189.100 IP oups Sébastien WILLEMIJNS has visited A website 29th July at 14h22 83.157.189.100 IP oups Sébastien WILLEMIJNS has visited B website 29th July at 18h09 83.157.189.100 IP oups Sébastien WILLEMIJNS has left a comment on C website 30th July at 09h58 83.157.189.100 IP oups Sébastien WILLEMIJNS has downloaded D software on...
Some of you loves fixed IP to host Internet services, it is theirchoice but let customers to choose even with a small fee option !
Q: When my real IP can be known by the remote server ? A: - With any kind of tunnel as VPN it is impossible. - With a Webproxy, by default only your browser and his internal component areprotected (Javascript, Flash). Java, AIR, Winamp/Windows_mediaplayer_Real orApples sound/videos are NOT protected !!! If these apps purpose a proxysettings you are not hidden by the webproxy. Some webproxies or applicationsdetect at installation the browser config so you are protected.PRIORITY IS GIVEN TO THIS FAQ TO VPN COZ YOU ARE SURE ALL YOUR TRAFFICIS HIDDEN !!!
Q: Some website or well know protocols works well but others not, why ? A: Generally, only classical websites works well as search engines andtroubles exists when you must access [in SSL mode?!] to authenticatedsites or protocols. In 2010, the (non-guaranteed) quick test to do isGOOGLE works well but not GMAIL (in default mode coz GMAIL use now SSLby default).The trouble can be easily repaired by changing MTU Surf is too slow ? change MTU ?! http://www.publicvpn.com/support/FAQ.php#mtuWARNING ! In Windows system, every others PPTP or L2TP/IPSEC connexions will be changed by this configuration, changing MTU
Q: My VPN does not authorize P2P softwares, can i use SKYPE ? A: Good question ! VPN owners generally explain by the "no P2P" sentence than you are not allowed to use file sharing softwares... IMHO i repeat again IMHO you can use SKYPE for me but you can not use well known classical P2P softwares as Emule or UTorrent even if you share legal contents.
Q: Can i cascade VPN to improve privacy ? A: Yep ! Some VPN providers offers you this service which is generally named "DoubleVPN". Never forget than more you cascade VPNs, more you use differents ISP/links, more your speed can be low and more your ping/lag can be high ;)
F.A.Q for webmasters: - No reseller offer will be added here. Lot of them hides they are resellers it's a pity...
