Software Giveaway: Seed4.Me VPN & Proxy – Free Premium Access – For Windows, Mac, iOS, & Android

This VPN provider has more then 10 locations in the list. It gives a lot of free time to use the service and MOST important it allows to use service everywhere on computer, phone and even other tablets.
I paid once and use it on my laptop, iPhone and Kindle.

Used it intermittent for over a week the only thing I noticed when I fell asleep, my device wasn’t connected when I awoke.

Dear developer, I appreciate for developing this app but I have concern regard the accuracy of your VPN gps location. When I select for South Korea, but the gps of my phone indicates I’m in Shanghai China, could you clarify this?

The first thing that appears when you open this app is a message telling you that the app will intercept all internet traffic, followed by a check box saying “I trust this app” with yes or no check boxes to choose from. If you check no, the app closes. You can’t see ANY settings or more importantly read the privacy policy without “trusting” the app. I looked at the apps. permissions and saw that it had access to just about everything on and in my device (Kindle HDX).

I checked the developers webpage to see their info, credentials, and privacy policy and it’s no surprise that there is no phone number for the company or an address. There is a generic “contact us” web form available, but that’s it. Any company that has software that has access to every feature of your device should be reputable enough to at least give their phone number and a person to contact.

There terms, which are buried on their webpage are fairly generic, but include the following statement that concerned me:

“Seed4.Me reserves the right to install, manage and operate one or more software, monitoring or other solutions designed to assist us in identifying and/or tracking activities that we consider to be illegal or violations of these ToS’s”

In other words, they have full permission to install spy software and use it as they please anytime they want without you knowing when or what they are monitoring. Now, I’m in full support of online security and support the feature fully but only IF there is a report of someone violating the terms or committing a crime. In my opinion, it’s pretty sketchy for a software company with no address or phone number to require that you trust an app they tell you nothing about and require you to give them permission to install spyware software on your device and use it as they wish without just cause and without you realizing it.

Online security is a MUST in my opinion. I would never use an app that has full access to everything on my device, states that it can and will “monitor” my online activity, yet gives absolutely no information about the app developer.

Sounds like “trusting” this app may be an open invitation for data breaching and/or identity theft. It’s ironic because vpn apps. are designed to help protect your online identity yet the company wants to use spyware on those that use the app and developed the app to have permissions of pretty much everything on your device – much more than is necessary for the app. to properly function.

I Uninstalled it immediately upon learning these facts and it was no surprise that the uninstaller left lots of junk on my Kindle that I had to remove manually.

It may or may not work as designed I don’t know. In my opinion, using this app is no different than giving a total stranger that you have no information about and no way to contact complete access to everything on your computer and full permission to spy on you as they wish. No thank you.

i don’t recall ever downloading this app and initially. so i’m paranoid about it. it seemed new then and i us d a weeks free trial, but i don’t know who the developers are, what jurisdiction they operate out, both legally and practically, what their real aim is, how truly secure their service is, whether they fight against large scale govt surveillnce or are a decoy service feeding off the concept to actually socially engineer their targets into thrusting all of their data through this possibly dceiftful source..

i’m not saying that’s true, not , ore info is needed. the website was not informative and i fear even legitimate vpn comments nn cations may still be weak if they only use pptp… or even l2tp..

better than nothing i suppose, unless they are a sham.. but atm i will try them.

1 last thing… i don’t like how the TOS says they reserve the right to install other software, programs, etc to monitor for potential illegal use of their service or other tos violations…. not that they track our internet traffic via their servers and service tunnels and connections, but an implied spyware instLlTion secret to the user, bundled with the product to monitor the device’s programs and activity. for that reason i will not be using this long…
