VPN disconnects
Johnsonm90 20th Sep 2011
As per my understanding, it happens because the process gets killed when the phone goes into autolock, sleep mode, Power saving mode or screen saver mode. But I would like to know more about it and would appreciate if someone can please elaborate this..
I use HMA (http://hidemyass.com/vpn/r1258/) on my iPhone and iPad and I really like it. The only probably is in u.s. airway clubs when i am travelling. I can't connect to the VPN server. Except that, I am very please with Hide My Ass VPN except its name.
I am wondering for this that VPN can work without LAN cards or not? I researched about this from here. Please have a look that is it correct or not http://vpncreative.livejournal.com/641.html

you aren't on the network.

That's not a virtual private network, that's an actual private computer.
I just wanted to comment that not all VPN providers are equal. I used to use HMA who claimed to protect my privacy and not log anything. Then come to find out that they apparently log data and freely turn it over.

After this I switched to https://VPNme.com. They DO NOT log anything, and I have been very happy with the 5.83 / month price especially with all the protocols supported. And what I think is the best feature of all is that even their lowest plan includes two concurrent connections. I get to have my home online randomly getting a new IP through their service and I get to use my iPAD at work and hot spots at the same time with one account.

If you already have a vpn you should check out VPNme's privacy policy https://vpnme.com/privacy and compare against the one you are currently using. I would also encourage you to check out eff.org to see if the country your current VPN provider operates out of requires logging like HMA's location does.

my 2 cent to keep you safe.
