I'd like to clarify the following quote from the article:
"<i>Ipredator is currently using the same platform as several other VPN franchises including Relakks, which means it’s not really anything we haven’t seen before.</i>"<p>The term "platform" is pretty ambiguous, right? Is it the same PPTP server software? Is it the same management webapp? In this case, it's actually the same software, servers, bandwidth, and owners. I had a chance to poke around during the closed beta last year and this is literally just a re-skin of Relakks. Their logging policies, connection locality, and (unfortunately) speed and reliability numbers are one and the same.<p>In short, there's some hype because this is tied to TPB, but the article gets it quite right: its nothing we haven't seen before.
