Kaspersky Secure Connection: VPN service and free but ...

Kaspersky Secure Connection: VPN service is a new application of Russian Kaspersky security company for the Android mobile operating system.

The application is available for free as well as paid. The free of the app gives you a daily traffic of 200 Megabytes, while the premium version removes the limitation, and can be used on up to five devices.Kaspersky Secure Connection

The application promises to protect the privacy and the data of its users when online, by encrypting the links and by not recording what online users do.

Nevertheless requests access to your contacts, calls, and location, and if you dump anything, it does not start. If you check the full list of rights requested by the app, you'll find many more, such as Identify, device and app history (reads your bookmarks and web history), and also reads what's on storage devices USB.

It is not clear why these rights are required and the basic reason for a service provider to work VPN, but rather that's why it has negative reviews on Google Play.

The quota of 200 Megabytes per day is enough for a little bit of browsing and perhaps your email control, but do not expect it to last long. 200MB are these.

If you need a VPN to start streaming media or open heavy sites on of your preferred browsing, 200MB is just not enough.

But we should mention one more που σχετίζεται με την προστασία της ιδιωτικής σας ζωής που γίνεται εμφανές μόνο αν επιτρέπετε τα δικαιώματα. Η εφαρμογή τροφοδοτείται από το Hotspot Shield. Το Center for Democracy and έχει καταθέσει μια καταγγελία κατά της Anchorfree, Inc, της εταιρείας που είναι πίσω από τη Hotspot Shield. (PDF)

Το Center for Democracy and Technology ζητά από την Ομοσπονδιακή Επιτροπή Εμπορίου να διερευνήσει τις πρακτικές ασφάλειας και ανταλλαγής δεδομένων των υπηρεσιών Hotspot Shield Free Virtual Private Network (VPN), ενός προϊόντος της AnchorFree, Inc. Το Hotspot Shield υπόσχεται ασφαλή, Και ανώνυμη πρόσβαση στο διαδίκτυο. Όπως περιγράφεται λεπτομερώς παρακάτω, αυτή η καταγγελία αφορά την ακοινοποίητη και ασαφή ανταλλαγή δεδομένων και την ανακατεύθυνση της κυκλοφορίας που πραγματοποιείται στο Hotspot Shield Free VPN. Είναι κάτι που πρέπει να θεωρείται άδικο και παραπλανητική εμπορική πρακτική σύμφωνα με το άρθρο 5 του νόμου FTC.

To say it nicely: Avoid the Kaspersky Secure Connection application until Kaspersky has a mind. However you can try it out F-Secure Freedome VPN, an application that requires fewer permissions to run.
