Hi, W've developed VPN with P2P -> gateless VPN. Linked one-pager summary: http://db.tt/2P0m7NCq It does work, we have 30K users WW of B2C service: privacyprotector.eu I'd like to get feedback on our technology. Best, Blazej

I don't get whether you have designated servers for that, or just take random amount of disk and bandwidth from everyone involved. Not sure about what guarantees on consistency and availability does it provide.

Also "The technology is 100% software and it is patentable."... yeah... right.

Read carefully - it is a P2P powered VPN and we_have_no servers for traffic. Anyone can track connections, traffic itself is encrypted. Check this site: http://demo.privacyprotector.eu - with and without(!) our software. Feel free to use any IP-chcking tool You want.

Technology IS just software and IS patentable - prove me wrong.

I meant servers in the local network, not ones provided by you. I assume that you actually distribute the uploaded documents and if someone publishes a file and turns off his box, it won't go away.

Patentable - depends on the country. Plus we could go into the whole "software reduces to maths formula which is not patentable" discussion... but that would be a waste of time.
