Any feedback / criticism is most welcome! I've launched a few days ago and it's currently in beta mode. I'm giving away 30 1-month accounts to HN members. Just send me an email (admin@styxvpn.com) and I'll get your account up and running in few minutes. We only have US servers at this point, but we're expanding in Europe and Asia in the next few months. There are no speed limits and no transfer limits. Thank you!

Chrome says: "The site's security certificate is not trusted!" Fix that ASAP.

Thank you! I ran into the same problem when I used a GandiSSL certificate (Firefox complained, but not Chrome). I'm now using a PositiveSSL certificate. Are you running the latest version of Chrome by any chance?

We are almost done fixing the SSL problem. Bear in mind that it does not affect the security of your VPN connection. Thank you for pointing it out!

After navigating to any other page the navigation buttons no longer work. I viewed it on an iPad. Also there are quite a few spelling mistakes on the 'Features' page.

Design is nice. SSL certificate is fine for me (chrome). On the signup page the 'Sign up now' button is off center (http://www.pastethat.com/CemUT). Although you hint at it with Hulu and Pandora, you may want to add that the servers are located in the USA. In the future you could think about adding a server in the UK, BBC iPlayer has very good content.

Thank you for the feedback!

We are planning to expand in Europe (UK, Sweden, Switzerland and possibly Germany) and Asia (HK).

I have added our servers' location to the main page too.

Thanks again!

I think some of these download sites will pay you to get their traffic back. Several lose users due to content sites blocking users. Either that or they can push your app to their users and you do not have to share revenue since users need your app. Great potential, IMHO.

Are you talking about Hulu / Pandora / Last.fm etc?

I have a 1024x768 screen, and the monitor logo on the right side of the page is extending up and partially blocking 'Sign Up', 'Affiliates', and 'Contact Us'. Have you tested the website thoroughly on smaller screens?

Yes, I used ViewLikeUS ( http://viewlike.us/?url=www.styxvpn.com&button.x=0&b... )..didn't see any problems. Strange, what browser are you using?

Along the same topic I use a tilling window manager and will often have my screen squashed with terminals to the side. This http://imgur.com/SJVZW.png is what I see.

I haven't tested it on an iPad..will try to in the next few days.

Apologies for the spelling mistakes, we should have put more QA in the website :)

Thank you for the feedback!
