SecureMyEmail™ from WiTopia
 
Yet another allegedly super-secure, Switzerland-based email service will be offered by WiTopia, a VPN provider.

Details

Full disclosure: I'm a satisfied user of WiTopia's VPN service. I have no other interests in WiTopia.

I wouldn't go near anything offered by witopia with a barge pole.

They nanny their VPN users. They block client-initiated traffic. When I called to complain, requesting that they not block my traffic, they looked down their noses and said "sir, we are a security company". Security for *who*? I'm the customer, and they were doing a denial of service attack on *me*. IOW, Witopia is a security /problem/, not a solution, from the standpoint of those hiring them.

VPNs are usually hired by individuals to escape their nanny ISPs. If I wanted a nanny, I would have simply not used a VPN. I don't care what their e-mail offering is -- it's not a company to trust, and it's not a company to support.

I’ve used this vpn for about a year and totally satisfied with it. When I’ve been looking for a decent vpn service, I visited many websites and read hundreds of reviews. From this website https://www.bestvpnrating.com/service/witopia I got info about witopia and decided to give it a try. Honestly, there is nothing to complain about. Witopia is a good vpn for such price.

I know it's a year ago, but does anyone know what that's referring to?
