The Pirate Bay Team has announced on their blog that IPREDator, their VPN service, is finally running. Previously announced for 1st of April, the service was delayed due to stability problems. Learn about Pirate Bay VPN service.
The name of the service mocks the new Swedish Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) legislation which empowers copyright holders to get personal details of file-sharing users from ISP's. The release of IPREDator is scheduled exactly on the same date when IPRED gets into effect.
IPREDator is a network service that makes people online more anonymous using a VPN. It will cost about 5 EUR a month. They say about their service: 'the network is under our control. not theirs. the pirate bay likes and knows real optimism. and waffles.'
The service is still in beta
The service is available only for the first 3000 people on the beta-list. Gradually more people will be invited but right knows there are 180.000 (wow!) people in the queue. They estimate it will take about a month to make the service available for all of them. After that, the service will be public (i.e. everyone will be able to subscribe and use the service).
Why Pirate Bay VPN?
IPREDator comes in response to the introduction of Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) legislation which empowers copyright holders to get personal details of file-sharing users from ISP's. The release of IPREDator was initially scheduled exactly on the same date when IPRED got into effect (1st of April 2009).
According to TorrentFreak, the IPREDATOR service would be more secure than other virtual private networks (VPN), by encrypting a user's traffic stream. This way, it is theoretically invulnerable to interception by a local ISP or intermediate carriers.
'The weak link in any VPN/anonymity service is always their willingness (or otherwise) to hand over your customer data when pressured under the law. However, with IPREDATOR this should not be an issue since the service is promising to keep no logs of user activity whatsoever,' TorrentFreak said.
The Pirate Bay Trial: Defendants Found Guilty
On Friday, 17th of April, a court in Sweden found four members of the Pirate Bay guilty of breaking Swedish copyright laws and sentenced them to a year in prison and a $3.6 million fine. Learn about the Pirate Bay trial.
Ipredator Kuma Games
The four men – Peter Sunde, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Fredrik Neij, and Carl Lundström -were found guilty of having made 33 copyright-protected files accessible for illegal file sharing via the Piratebay.org Web site. Warg and Neij are the founders of The Pirate Bay. Sunde is a programmer and a spokesman there, and Lundström offered technical services to the site in 2005.
The Pirate Bay and its lawyers will appeal the verdict, and the site will continue to function normally during the appeals procedures.
The legislation was based on the European Union's Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED). During the first day, it was in force, Swedish internet traffic dropped by a third.
IPREDator Pros & Cons
We have compiled a list of pros and cons for the IPredator VPN service.
IPREDator Pros
- It works! IPREDator does what it says: provides total online anonymity and security. Suitable for torrents.
- The speed is great! Now that it seems to be stabilized, the service provides a fast online connection. As the servers are located in Sweden, that may vary, depending on your location.
- All ports are forwarded
- Easy to install
- The price is acceptable (60 euro/year) compared to other VPN services.
IPREDator Cons
- Provides only Swedish IP. This makes IPREDator no suitable to unblock Hulu, Pandora and other sites that are restricted to users outside the US. The same applies to BCC iPlayer.
- Basic site and service. The site (too) simple and not very nice looking. No fancy design.
- Limited use of iPhone due to its Swedish IP address(es)
IPREDator – Good or Bad?
Here, at How-to-hide-ip, there were some interesting, not favorable, comments regarding IPREDator. I'll just cite Fausty from a comment on 7 VPN Services Launched in 2009:
Just to clarify, iPredator is NOT a new service. It's just Relakks, with a new name stuck on top of it – as confirmed by Sunde after we caught them trying to pass it off as 'new.' [.]
Additionally, Sunde has admitted that because the old Relakks network (which was abandoned, with customer funds disappearing, in 2008 by whoever owns it – they've never explained any of that) is built on PPTP proprietary VPN tools, that 'IPREDator is very much a political statement more than anything else.' That's right, this 'privacy service' uses technology that's so badly broken it can't even promise to protect privacy! Sunde only made this admission after I demanded he justify how they could put forth the re-animated Relakks stuff as a viable 'privacy service' despite the many flaws exposed in it.
What do you think of Ipredator released? Have you tried it? Is it a good service?Would you recommend to others?

Beat without bass download. IPredator is a virtual private networking service offered with the stated goal of providing internet privacy.[1] It was co-founded by Peter Sunde,[2][3] as a response to the introduction of IPRED in Sweden, which will allow copyright holders and law enforcement officials to request personal information about copyright infringement suspects.[4]
On 12 August 2009, the beta testing invitations were sent out to those who entered their email addresses into the beta signup form. Additionally, the homepage has changed to reflect the beta. The initially only used PPTP (supported natively in XP, Vista, Windows 7, OS X and Linux through the use of PPTP-linux) to tunnel the connection through servers (vpn.ipredator.se which resolves to multiple IP addresses) located in Sweden.
On September 14, 2009, IPredator 'The Second Batch' became available for public consumption.
On November 28, 2009, IPredator became publicly available and exited the beta stage. This was done to counteract FRA, which started listening to internet traffic over the Swedish borders on December 1. To reflect this, The Pirate Bay changed their logo on December 1, 2009, to an image from the game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! depicting FRA as the opponent Glass Joe, which is a legendary easy opponent from the game. The image linked to ipredator.se with the message 'FRA vs IPredator - It's on!'
On Windows clients using built-in PPTP, it is recommended to disable IPv6, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and Client for Microsoft Networks because these features may disclose information.[5] Using OpenVPN instead has no such issues, and provides full native IPv6 connectivity.

OpenVPN support was added during August 2012.[6]
In July 2013, PayPal stopped providing payment services to Ipredator. In addition, all the organization's funds have been frozen for up to 180 days.[7]
IPredator's blog states that 'PayPal reinstated our account' as of August 26, 2013.[8]
