LiquidVPN is a Michigan-based company founded in 2012 that came with the desire to conquer the VPN market. Offering some unique features such as Liquid Lock and IP modulation, the American company holds a few tricks up its sleeve. Because a VPN is never too complete, it is currently looking to expand their services, add more servers, a new website among other nice and useful upgrades. The provider currently counts servers in 10 different key regions, assuring a no log policy and top-notch protocol and encryption protection.
We covered some of the main questions you’ll want to have answered to get a crystal clear insight into this company, while well-experienced LiquidVPN users will certainly learn a new thing or two about their versatile VPN service, too.
Back In 2010, our CEO Dave was frustrated with the mere 3 or 4 choices he had when he needed a VPN service. The one he used had a limited number of IP addresses and the client was not very good, so a few years later when the NSA’s activities started to come to light he took that as a sign to try and do something better. He is a very hands-on person and built the first version of LiquidVPN himself.
We give options to the user. We allow our users to select their topology based on what their needs are. We have created IP modulation, and at this price point I think we are the only VPN service that gives users built in smart DNS and the ability to be assigned their own public IP address. Every service I am aware of that assigns users their own public IP address costs almost double. We have shared IP addresses too.
That is a hard question. We have very strict requirements that datacenters must meet. We usually add new servers to locations we are comfortable with instead of adding new locations at datacenters we have not built a trusting relationship with. However, I know some new locations are in the works. Right now Iceland is most likely going to be our next country, followed by Hong Kong, and we are also looking into a location in Australia. However, users will not be able to connect to that directly as it will be strictly for geolocation avoidance.
Right now we are working on an iOS app that should go live this quarter.
LiquidDNS uses a lot of the same tricks that smart DNS services use to bypass geoblocks but LiquidDNS is built for privacy. You have to be connected to LiquidVPN to use it. It does not keep logs and, the way it’s designed, attackers cannot force you to send queries via the open internet.
It is different for each operating system but basically it is a full featured firewall that will block traffic that tries to escape outside of the VPN tunnel (Both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic). The only exceptions are either ones you define via the UI and LiquidVPN assets that users need in order to use the client and connect to servers.
Every time a connection is made by your device, the public IP address used for that connection changes randomly. I mean a connection in the literal sense. For example when you want to go to Google, your browser makes a connection to a DNS server and queries the IP address(es) for google.com. Those DNS servers will see 1 random IP address and google.com will see a different random IP address loading the page and if an image gets loaded that would be done from a 3rd random IP address. If there are 3 tracking scripts running on the page, each one will see a different random IP. This is IP modulation in a nutshell, it is actually a lot more complex and technical than that.
Each user has his, her own public IP address so you do not have to worry about someone else’s actions having an impact on your session. Plus, incoming connections are allowed on just about any port.
We are going to be releasing a new website and client control panel and we will implement a much more robust server info section.
It is quite bright. The Netflix blocks only took a few hours to bypass really. The Internet was created to be globally accessible and it is that very reason that companies like Netflix will never be able to block people that want to view their content.
