Tobias strongly believes in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and we certainly share the sentiment.
In this exclusive interview he shares his views on free VPN, lifetime plans and data retention.
How did you get started as a VPN service?
Many VPN providers don’t disclose who are running them or even from what country.
The Opera ‘VPN’ is more like a proxy, it only works in the Opera online window.
A paid VPN can offer more connection methods (e.g.
OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, IpSec etc.)
and much better security and privacy from authorities.
Usually they will also offer much higher bandwidth than a free VPN.
At CitizenVPN we really have no limits at all on bandwidth.
We regularly see users download in bursts of 50+ Mbps (although servers can go much higher).
I don’t think you’re free to do that with a free VPN.
Instead, all your data flows to another one of their users and exits from there.
Personally I would never use Hola.
Some VPNs offer lifetime deal.
What do you think of this strategy?
Well I am rather skeptical.
What makes CitizenVPN different from other VPNs?
ISP’s, Music streaming, TV subscriptions etc.
all have phone support, so why should VPN be any different?
In the future we hope to be able to provide 24/7 phone support.
Instead, we deliver a premium top-quality service that really anyone can afford, starting from 0.29 /day.
Can you explain Data retention?
What is your policy?
Our policy is to never store the users connecting IP address nor any other data regarding their usage.
We do not comply with ANY ‘data retention directives’.
It can’t show any usage data.
We of course log whenever an account is accessed (I.e.
No outsiders have ever or will ever get access to our servers or data.
We do everything in-house and everything is developed 100% here in Denmark (incl.
Employees data-access (like database lookups etc.)
is always logged, so any request for data can be back-traced.
Does Skytte Media ApS have any other projects of interest going on right now?
We are currently developing an exceptionally thrilling plug-and-play VPN router specifically designed for the average consumer.
Consider this your exclusive introduction to our groundbreaking creation.
Are there plans to add more countries/servers to your VPN offering?
Is the likeness between Citizen Kane and your logo a coincidence?
I didn’t actually think a lot about Citizen Kane.
The idea was to make an association to Abraham Lincoln who famously wore a top-hat.
It’s also a magician’s hat, because we magically make your internet better and more secure.
