[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1118166, member: 114717"] So you are moving from CIS/CFW to Portmaster? The whole point of using Comodo is for the virtual containment. It's firewall code is rather hacky-hack. IVPN purchased Safing Portmaster and has plans to take over its operations. The IVPN owner characterized it as a "purchase of Safing Portmaster" as opposed to collaboration. I would suppose that IVPN offers better global infrastructure that Portmaster does not have, although those details are not public. Portmaster did not even list the servers it used in its subscription. * [I]formally, Nicholas Pestell owns 100% of both IVPN and Safing ICS Technologies GmbH[/I] _ _ _ _ _ At one time I used IVPN across 12 different devices. My direct personal experience with its support of its VPN client was not good - due mostly to the fact there is only a single developer maintaining the IVPN VPN client. Reported problems were never fixed. Windows Updates negatively impacted the IVPN VPN client's performance, and it would take a long time for it those problems to be fixed. Overall, IVPN support exists to handle account problems, and not technical issues or bugs. The same can be said of Mullvad support, but since I have developed professional relationships with personnel at Mullvad it has been easier to get more serious issues resolved. Eventually, I dropped both IVPN's and Mullvad's custom VPN clients and adopted the Wireguard client. There is a way to modify the Wireguard client to get it to run in a Windows Standard User Account (SUA). Seeing your post about Portmaster you triggered my interest. So I did the research and was ready to purchase a year subscription, but now that I know IVPN has purchased Safing Portmaster I will not subscribe. IVPN provided a negative user experience in the past. It is heavy on general support, but very thin on developers (only one that can partially support Windows) and there is no software QA/QC to speak of at IVPN. Important NOTE: Both IVPN and Mullvad are primarily VPN companies for Linux. The majority of their efforts are for the Linux ecosystem. Windows is only a secondary offering and, consequently, there are more problems for Windows users. Plus neither company has functional software QA/QC. [/QUOTE]
