1. We offer a free service. 2. With free support. 3. And we somehow have enough ips to go around for everyone? 4. Btw, we are not MITMing you or logging anything. What?

You know what they always say, when something is free, you are the product.

Free product, free support, no logs. They're either lying or trying to turn this into a freemium product at some point in the future. Everything else just seems unlikely.

Furthermore, their domain is protected by WhoisGuard (Panama). If they (the people involved, not the servers) were sitting in Sweden this would be unnecessary (compare IPredator). The IP address behind the website points to the same Swedish datacenter(s) that the services surrounding The Pirate Bay use as well (Portlane). IPredator itself seems to have moved to Cyprus though.

Uppercase and underlined "anonymous" next to plain text passwords via email is just unprofessional.

"Do you keep logs?" "We dont keep any logs of any kind. all we ask from you is your email address and username. and thats it. no other information is keept in our system." One must immediately question a company whose customer facing copy appears in such a way.

The whole site/concept/product only appears to be a week old. Even Googling the name turns up stuff from the last few days only.
