Residential VPN

What VPN Protocols do we use?

OpenVPN is one of the most popular and well-received VPN implementations. It is an Open SourceVPN solution with high stability and excellent security, published under the GNU General Public License (GPL)

OpenVPN uses various methods and protocols to keep your communications safe, such as OpenSSL, HMAC authentication and shared keys. It also supports a wide array of cryptographic algorithms, such as Blowfish, 3DES, and AES — which is often touted as the gold standard of cryptographic algorithms.

But perhaps the largest advantage of OpenVPN is that it is highly configurable. In fact, it can be run on any port and both UDP and TCP protocols — which makes it extremely difficult to block.

Fresh Residential IP’s – Never get blocked again

DNSFlex delivers Residential IP solutions over VPN and SOCKS.  Our Residential IP Proxy network is distributed amongst the top Fortune 500 Cable ISP’s in the US, ensuring the highest level of anonymity.  Perfect for Optimised applications that require multiple IP’s to avoid banning or detection.

SOCKS5 Proxy from DNSFlex

A SOCKS5 protocol provides a unique layer of security, unlike VPN which routes all of your network traffic, a SOCKS5 proxy can be configured on an application level giving you the ultimate privacy flexibility options.

A SOCKS5 Proxy server runs on DNSFlex distributed residential and datacenter network, guaranteed to delivery 99% uptime for uninterrupted network connectivity.  Your network traffic routes through DNSFlex SOCKS5 Proxy server before it reaches the target destination,  we safeguard your identity by forwarding these requests via an Arbitrary IP.

A great advantage of SOCKS5 is the ability to provide username/password authentication to restrict access to the Proxy Server.  Don’t wait, browse the internet with privacy and security in mind.

Anonymous Torrents

Torrents are typically scrupulous to government watchdogs and spy agencies.  Large corporations often seed fake torrents to a honeypot and report such actions to ISP’s for illegal activity.  SOCKS5 will provide the first layer of defence by hiding your IP and passing traffic through our anonymous proxy server.

Best Performance and Efficiency

Use SOCKS5 if the main goal is to download Bit Torrent and P2P traffic. Simply because it is a lightweight protocol and runs at a lower level than VPN.  SOCKS5 runs on UDP which is session-less and is designed to transfer data in smaller bits of data packets compared to other proxies.  This improves overall speed and performance.

Handles any type of Traffic

Unlike ‘High-Level’ HTTP proxies, which are designed for a specific protocol, SOCKS Proxy technology is ‘low-level’ and is designed to be an all-purpose proxy which can accommodate virtually any protocol, program, or type of traffic.

How does an SSH Tunnel work?

SSH Tunnelling (Also called SSH Port Forwarding) is a powerful tool that can be used to transmit unencrypted data traffic from your network into an encrypted Tunnel. This is particularly useful for online privacy or to circumvent content restrictions imposed on your corporate firewall.  DNSFlex SSH Tunnel application can be deployed the Operating system for selected application filtering, or on your Router for full autonomy by encrypting all network traffic

SOCKS5 Proxy VS VPN – What’s the Difference?

When choosing a data handling protocol, there are a few considerable options worth noting.  You may have a personal preference, understanding the features and limitations are an important first step into making the right decision.  The chart below describes some feature comparisons between each protocol.
