I’m giving away five 3-month VPN accounts for free in the forum. Come claim them if you don’t have a VPN http://www.chengduforum.com

I’ve been using Freedur for a few weeks now and it’s been great. I really can’t attest to having any major problems besides the occasional hiccup.

Helpful info – thanks for posting that. I’m not using Firefox though, I use Chrome.

Here’s a screen shot to show what I’m talking about: http://cl.ly/592a5dc92cd40d492f70

I just close Freedur and restart it and it’s back to normal though, no big deal.

Thanks for coming on here and shedding some light into the issue. Good to hear that you guys are working on it. I hope a more secure fix to this issue comes out soon. It gets very frustrating. Like I said, I want to keep Freedur still even if I choose to use another VPN with it. I like to have a backup and with a company that knows what’s going on. I appreciate the work you guys do.

Jane, could you please contact our support so we can figure out if/why you’re having the problem described? I tried looking you up in our database but we haven’t had a customer with the first name “Jane” within an active service for over 9 months…

Jane and Just2U look suspiciously like Astrill people. You can usually spot them by their lack of regard for English grammar and baseless accusations.

Astrill, more efforts on your own product and less on attacking competing VPN services.

Hey Michael:

This is most likely caused by the ISP you are on. In China, the internet is segmented by the North/South region between China Telecom and Unicom. China Telecom users usually get great connection but Unicom users vary largely in experience. We’ve setup special China Unicom servers and this seems to have improved the speed a lot but it’s not a blanket fix. The problem is, even within China, pining a China Unicom server can take much longer than pinging a server in the USA. Freedur in general is super fast as we overspend on servers to make sure of it, but unfortunately the few individual who are on bad Unicom nodes will continue to have problems connecting to North America overall until China fixes its internet infrastructure.

As for the memory leak, this is actually Firefox specific and we’re not sure who owns the responsibility. Regardless, we will be coming up with a fix for this in the next major update.

Thank you for trying Freedur and please do not hesitate to contact us anytime via our website.

Freedur is in no way affiliated with Astrill or Skydur. Astrill is the former Skydur, whose developers are former contractors of Freedur that cloned our service/technology nearly 2 years ago.

To date, Astrill(Skydur) continues its campaign of fabricating lies against Freedur on the internet and we will continue to defend it.
