Encryption

The Company enciphers its user online status with a code. The encrypted code length varies from a minimum of 1024 bits to 2048 bits.

Security

There are hackers waiting for an opportunity at such open networks to steal data. SwitchVPN, solves this problem. As the data enciphered is highly safe and sound in the VPN, it secures the users’ data during surfing.

The VPN can take away firewalls.

The VPN breaks the firewall if any around the surrounding. Hence, the government blocked webs become accessible. For instance, if you are a Chinese, you can very use FB with SwitchVPN and if you are a Brazilian, SKYPE is no more out of reach! This is not only with the government blocked sites, but also with the Internet Service Providers.

History of usage
