Looking at the website, it looks like they are not very clear about the nature of their cryptography. They talk about "2048 bit dynamic encryption". Maybe they are just talking about the public key side of a hybrid crypto system, in which case they need to specify what public key system they are using, what symmetric cypher, and the key lengths of both. If it is their own crypto system, then I am really worried. It is the number one sign of snake oil. I would never trust any system without many years to detailed published analysis by the best minds in the business. If any of my readers know more about the company (and don't just post advertising copy) I would be quite interested to hear it. This really looks like spam to me.

Seems they have a simple software approach to what looks like a very neat 2048 bit VPN that really does not care what it "wrappers". If I understand it correctly, the process hides MAC addresses, passwords and login stuff, and does it over wi-fi, network, cable, cell (EVDO) or whatever. Would be interested to read what others have to say about this approach to a really big problem – particularly since 128 SSL has been hacked.
