Findnot.Com Competitive Analysis

Points to consider when looking for
an Internet Anonymity Service

1. Software in a Box - Many companies say they offer anonymity and ship you software in a box or have you download software. Be advised that this software you install can easily capture your true IP address, e-mail address and other data and send it to the company without your knowledge. Findnot.Com can work with no software at all using windows VPN setup. We also have software we use for socks proxy connections called Sockscap which is freeware available on sites other than ours so you do not have to download it from our site to use it on our service. We also use Putty for SSH Proxy connections which is again freeware available on other sites. You do not have to download any proprietary software to use our service.
   
   
2. Number of Servers - Many companies have a nice website and professional looking software but only have one server. Aside from the fact that this service that looked good may be very slow, this means you are limited to appearing as if you are in one country on one IP address all the time. Some companies have a handful of servers on one line like a T-1. This means you are limited to appearing as if you are in one country only and always coming in on the same IP block. We have 30 servers on 10 IP blocks in 7 different countries. You can appear to be coming from 7 different countries and many different cities within the USA and Canada. It only takes a few seconds to change servers and you have all 30 of them to use.
   
   
3. Log Files - Most companies will log everything you do and save these logs for years. If they are in the USA (as 98% of them are) they will have to turn over the log files on any official request or subpoena and they won't even tell you. Read their terms of service. We retain log files for a maximum of 5 days after which they are deleted from all sources. This allows us to protect our servers from being compromised by abusive users. We have never yet received a lawful subpoena valid in our jurisdiction that we would be bound to comply with. If such a subpoena was to appear one day, we have no doubt that it would require more than 5 days for it to be served upon us Most legal processes requiring information take months from the time of the act in question, not days. We doubt this policy would ever violate someone's privacy and is in place to protect our system from abuse. We do not know of any competitive service that does not keep some sort of logs.
   
   
4. Peer 2 Peer (P2P) - A lot of anonymity providers will not allow Peer 2 Peer as we do. Same for FTP, so do check. You can run any internet application through our service except bulk e-mail.
   
   
5. Type of Connection - We offer 30 servers each setup to run as a Socks Proxy, SSH Proxy, PPTP VPN or OpenVPN. You have your choice at all times so you should be able to work around most firewalls and other annoying methods of blocking and censorship. Does the competition offer four methods of connecting? We doubt it highly.
   
   
6. Tracking - We have a unique proprietary method of having your tracks get lost in the shuffle. Everyone coming off a a given one of our servers has the same external IP address. This makes it extremely difficult if not impossible for anyone to trace you to one of our servers and then out again into the internet. Traffic is routed back to you by the use of not recurring session id numbers. If someone got your IP address while you using one of our servers they could not attack you or serve popups etc. since they would not have an appropriate session id since the session id must be originated by you not them. Thus our servers protect you from many different types of attacks. We also use variable user id's but these numbers change hundreds of times a day again making tracking and tracing next to impossible. Many other services assign you a user id which stays the same forever thus facilitating tracking you. None of our competitors has even close to the amount of servers we have.
   
   
7. Uptime - We have a unique proprietary method we use here too. We use co-located servers around the world on different hosting company lines. Thus none of our servers ever trace back to a Whois lookup saying Findnot. Additionally since we have 30 servers and 25 or more are up on any given day we offer 100% uptime. 98% of our competitors have all their servers on one line in one location so if there is a problem they go down completely but it is cheaper for them this way so they do it. With us you'll have 100% uptime.
   
   
8. Anonymous Payment - Will the anonymity provider let you pay anonymously so they do not know who you are? We allow such sign-ups accepting E-Gold, mailed in money orders and cash.
   
   
9. File Storage - Does the other service let you store files on it's servers like we do? Our storage space is on a server in Panama which is a nice place to preserve privacy.
   
   
10. Encryption - Does the other service offer encryption so all communications between you and their servers are encrypted so your ISP has no idea what you did, where you went or what you downloaded on the internet? We do.
    
    
11. Free Security Software - Does the other service give you free software to preserve your hard disk security like we do on memberships of 6 months or longer? Hard drive security is an important ingredient to internet privacy.
    
    
12. Popups and Attacks - All the Proxy and VPN based services will block attacks and pop-ups, so that is not a real significant benefit since all do it.
    
    
13. Support - We offer full support 7 days a week, do they?
    
    
14. No Censorship - We have full internet with no censorship of any sort, do they?
    
    
15. Millions of Users - Some claim to having millions of users. When one looks carefully one sees these people offer free services like free browsing and it is the free service that has the massive amounts of users not the paid subscription service, and this figure may be intended to be the accumulated figure over the years they have been offering such services for free or otherwise. No anonymity service in the world has anything coming even close to a million paid subscribers at any one time, to the best of our knowledge and we are in the business. Don't be deceived by advertising claims not fully explained.
    
    
16. Terms of Service - Do read their terms of service. Are there threats in there about if you violate any terms of service all your rights to privacy are gone? Do pay attention to the other threats as well which are also there. Also read about how they log information. Ask yourself if their backups also have logs files (of course they do)? Ask yourself if they will ever get rid of this data for real? So what is the difference if they have these logs or your ISP has these logs, especially if the service is in the USA? No difference.
    
    
17. Deceit - Did the competition point these things out to you or instead try to deceive you? Did they attempt to get you to think you would be more anonymous than you really would be? Were they open about how easy it would be for someone to get their logged data about your activities from them?
