Just noticed that findnot.com core server location has changed. It was located in Malaysia before but now it seems to be in Panama?! Could someone more techie person verify this???
What I assume is that the server in Malaysia has been confiscated and now they are building up the system once again... Maybe now we will even find out if there are any logs or not.
But... after all I personally think that Panama is far from a safe place to keep ones servers.... :whistling
Yes
Even I got connected thr FNot. Although its a bit slow. I hope the things will be smooth soon.
But still I am not able to loging on their site (for anns mail)
Giving still errors
I think that until they get the problem, or upgrade, solved, whatever that might be, there may be periods of slow service. I experienced it a little earlier today, but now that I have 12 servers to select from, I just select one that I know is fast for me and I have no problem.
I did note that the Findnot website, and the servers page, were briefly off line sometime after I was able to logon. Maybe this was the period you were having problems. This just means that the work is ongoing, and that they have not finished yet. I am just happy to have about half the servers back on line. I can go back to guarding my privacy again.
But I always use a proxy of some type, even if Findnot is not working. TOR is very secure -- open source code and safe, but much slower than Findnot. Also, JAP is a quick and easy implementation of a free proxy for browsing Forums like this one.
Good news for findnot users as things appear to be returning to normal. I just accessed my findnot openweb mail account - all previous mail and folders were gone so I guess it's start from scratch.
Has anyone heard some official word on what happened? Obviously(?) not "maintanance" or "upgrade."
Also, just downloaded the server list as an MHTML document and saw no difference from the last server list. I've seen/heard nothing re: Panama or Malaysia so must presume word about these are rumor and/or speculation?
Great thread - great info - great folks! See ya in the forum :)
Peace

Yay! Good to know :)
what is it
One again I am having trouble logging onto findnot. I have 6 months subscription left and yes I have been typing in my password correctly. Anybody else having problems? Anybody got a better alternative to findnot? Help!!
Anybody else having problems logging into findnot.
I am using SSH and all of the servers (except the Malaysia server) reject my password (yes, sure its correct).
Whats up???
They sorted me out when I complained via their web site - no explanation - they simply gave me another password. Still can't register on their web site email service and quite frankly I am beginnning to distrust the whole setup. I won't be using them for anything that is very confidential. The Malaysia server locked me out for 15 mins when I was typing this - it wouldn't accept my password - here we go again....
If we're still talking about FindNot.com...is anyone else having problems using this service? Generally speaking, I've been satisfied with FindNot and have been using it for almost two years - but over the past several months it has become very problematic and emails to support go unanswered.
Guess it's okay if you don't mind unexpected interuptions in service and having your emails to support ignored. This is definately an internet service that could use some realistic competition. I'm surprised that no one has seized upon this business opportunity, given the increased need for internet privacy and the lack of viable alternatives. I know that I'd be willing to pay a little more for a FindNot type of service that worked and was operated more responsibly.
Anyone game?
I have had an account with findnot for 9 months, and except for slow servers the service worked as expected. I have also had a tunnel account at Cotse for a couple of years, and their servers have been consistently about three times as fast as findnot’s. Unfortunately all of this great info may be for nothing, because I have not been able to logon to findnot’s servers for several weeks, nor can I get into my email account @ findnot. I have sent repeated emails to [email protected] and have not yet received an answer. Possibly they will come back online, and reconnect my account, but it doesn’t look good. Thanks to this forum I was able to verify that something is very wrong at findnot
link is down
down also for me
Down for me. ANy news anyone?
Still down...
Ive heard mostly good reviews in comparison although the speed may be a lttle slower http://findnot.com/
Down again today - password not recognised on any of their servers. Anybody else having problems?
Goodby, Findnot.com...sorry to see you go after several years of providing me with a VPN service. NEXT!
