In the beginning of next month, 1-5 December new servers will be added. There will be at least added 1 server in each of these locations: Singapore, San Francisco, and Frankfurt. We will add 1-2 more servers based on what the majority of our users want so please suggest one or multiple locations, thank you!
Are you looking for suggestions to add a server to an existing location or to add a server to a new location? In the former case, in my experience, Switzerland is one of the best locations you could possibly add servers to. I know for a fact that many people, especially those in Europe, use Switzerland along with the Netherlands for their VPN. In the latter case, I would like to suggest adding different locations inside Russia. Different places in Russia can result in much different latencies out of the sheer size of the country.
Yes, I am looking for suggestions to add more servers in new locations. Switzerland and Russia will have the highest priority as these locations seem to be very popular. Singapore will also be added. Unfortunately, we might not get these additional locations added before the end of December as we are getting a little delayed with the desktop client development.
In my opinion, and depending on the demographic that you are targeting, you should be placing more emphasis on the actual service than on the desktop clients. Of course, I do not actually know exactly what your development team is working on, but VPN clients already exist, and given how your VPN is OpenVPN-hosted, you could easily just use the OpenVPN client as the desktop client. You could also add features to your VPN service such as intranet communication before the internet (assuming you don't already support it).
Hello, sorry for the late reply.
The available OpenVPN client lacks many nice-to-have features. we still have a long way to go before all our features are implemented. We will implement different things such as; a way to bypass firewalled internet access and kill switch. I believe we will have to resources to begin on this in January as it's expected to have a full-time employee there. We have made many improvements to the MacOS X client in regards to stability and usability but none of those changes have been released to the public yet.
We decided not to add any more servers this month as there are some things we want finished/improved first.
We have also stumbled across this project,
https://mysterium.network/ and it looks very interesting at a first look. I will spend some of the next days to see if this is technology is something we somehow can utilize in our software.
