Choose the VPN encryption level that is right for you There are two product families: HotSpotVPN-1 and HotSpotVPN-2. HotSpotVPN-2 is a SSL VPN. There are three HotSpotVPN-2 flavors. * Do you need to be HIPAA compliant? Do you need the best encryption available? Then choose the 256bit AES VPN. * Want a little more speed but still require the Advanced Encryption Standard? Then choose the 192bit AES VPN. * Want a secure fast VPN you can tune to fit your environment? Then choose our 128bit BlowFish VPN. HotSpotVPN-1 is a PPTP VPN and uses 128bit MPPE encryption and is the only VPN service available for your Palm and Pocket PC devices. It is very easy to set up because most operating systems (Windows, OS X) come with a PPTP client already installed. The typical setup takes less than three minutes. Pricing: HotSpotVPN2 (which includes a complimentary PPTP HotSpotVPN-1 account for your handheld device) is 10.88 per month for Blowfish encryption (128 bits), $11.88 for AES-192 (192 bits), and $13.88 for AES-256 (256 bits). HotSpotVPN-1 is $8.88 per month. Annual subscriptions are available for ten times these amounts. HotSpotVPN-1 is perfect for the infrequent traveler because it is available in 1,3, and 7 day increments for only $3.88, $5.88, and $6.88 respectively. http://www.hotspotvpn dot com/ -- Cheers/2 Ed eComStationAustralia podcast RSS feed http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com/feed or iTunes Warpstock Europe at Stralsund, Germany 12-15 November 2009 http://www.warpstock.eu -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG ===
