    Very good points. I hope you will put up more substantial information on your web site. Consider that we are supposed to trust you with our customer's credit card information, thei…

    I'll say "thank you" after I know more about the pricing and fees and how long it will take before my money appears in my bank account. It's great that you are setting up something…

    I wouldn't exactly say the title is misleading, because it still is an address failover between cloud networks. But your points about the public addresses is of course correct. The…

    In this simple example, you would have a single point of failure for the enterprise machines. But not any more than your enterprise's routers or Internet connection represent singl…

    This is independent of nginx/Varnish. Actually, vCider gives you a virtual network and you can run any traffic you want over it, even non-IP protocols, since it's a virtual network…

    Yes, that's correct.

    As you can see, after publishing this article I received some feedback and questions about the comparison, including from the author of stunnel himself, Michal Trojnara. Even thoug…

    1. Sorry you thought a comparison in which your program doesn't come out on top is a flame. It wasn't. Don't know what's unfair about comparing out of the box, default install perf…

    Well, I contacted you privately to discuss this so that we may both enlighten each other on what's going on, but you did not respond to my email and instead went out publicly. Oh w…

    Sorry, I forgot to answer this: vCider uses AES 256.

    Indeed, the keys are centrally created and (briefly) stored. However, they are also changed frequently and historic (older) keys are not kept on record. So, if someone intercepts a…

    vCider does not use larger packets. It can't, since they still have to be routed over the same public Internet. stunnel tries to compress traffic as well, which works if you send a…

    vCider uses AES 256 encryption. Tinc looks interesting, I will test that as well. Considering the huge difference in context switches and interrupts, I don't think that encryption …

    I'm not pretending this. But consider that IPSec doesn't exactly have a reputation for being easy to set up or even is particularly well supported across IaaS provider networks. Pe…

    Engineering is always about making the right compromises. Why does it have to be 100% dedicated or 100% cloud? What most people don't realize is that it really is a continuum. For …
