The Password is…..

February 16, 2017 by Jim Lastinger Leave a comment

The Problem

When working to secure our data we often overlook the most obvious of vulnerabilities, our passwords! We make our passwords easy for us to remember and in doing so they’re easier to break. First things first, a randomized 8 digit password is very strong. It’s made even stronger when providers require our passwords to have at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one special character, and one number. That process will generate 18,170,005,425,000 different passwords. If you were able to try 100 passwords a second, it would take you over 5,000 years to attempt every password! Surely, a randomized password would be almost impenetrable, right? Therein lies the problem, our passwords are not random. We compromise our passwords when we create them.

The characters we choose that compose our passwords are often words or numbers that have significance to us. For example, many numbers are often birth years, or just the number 1. Sometimes, it’s easier just to use a sequence of numbers like 123. By making the password relevant to us and easier to remember, we have made it easier to crack. In 2016 the 25 most common passwords made up about half of all passwords.

The Solution

Passwords are inconvenient. We’re supposed to have long, complex passwords and store them in our heads. To complicate our lives even further, we’re not supposed to duplicate our passwords for any site. While this may be ideal it’s also entirely impractical. The best way to maneuver through this seemingly impossible dilemma is to use a password manager. LastPass and Dashlane are both excellent choices that provide users with the security of having a complex password without the vulnerability of writing it down or the inconvenience of forgetting passwords.

Take a moment to consider how many passwords you have. Do you use the same password for different accounts? Do any of your passwords contain numeric sequences? Are you vulnerable?

New Ghost Path Client Version Available

January 18, 2016 by Jim Lastinger Leave a comment

We just released a brand new version of the Ghost Path VPN client, and it’s a big one. We’ve released support for Plex, our multi-hop VPN solution that makes our VPN more secure than ever.

We recommend all Ghosts update to the newest version as soon as possible. You can download by logging in at ghostpath.com/members and clicking Downloads.

TAP Driver Fixes

With the recent release of Windows 10 came a slew of networking problems. The TAP drivers utilized by Windows to connect to our OpenVPN setup was problematic before Microsoft released updates. Now we are bundling those updates into this new version to insure that everyone is using the latest TAP drivers.

New Software Privacy Options

The Ghost Path VPN client no longer logs connection activity or IP addresses by default. In certain situations our support team may need connection logs to help diagnose a problem, so we will send instructions for enabling the logs in this rare case.

Will Updating Erase My Ghost Path Configurations?

Updating to the new version of the Ghost Path app retains all settings from the previous version, including your username and your VPN server selections.

Full List of Changes

Plex support added (multi-hop VPN connections)
Updated OpenVPN version to 2.3.9
Windows: Updated TAP drivers.
Windows: Use block-outside-dns OpenVPN option on Windows 7 and newer
In-client logs and IP address history are now turned off by default.
All logs and IP address history data will be deleted on startup when logging is disabled in settings
Corrected OpenVPN issue that resulted in “too many servers” error in certain groups.
Mac OS X: Fixed bug that resulted in hang during system shutdown
Server list timer settings no longer require a restart

As always, contact support if you run into any problems at all.

Latest VPN Server Additions

September 17, 2015 by Jim Lastinger Leave a comment

We’ve added several additional VPN gateways recently in locations where we had existing gateways. This gives us even more capacity in our busiest locations. That means better connectivity and speed for our customers. We’ve recently added additional gateways in the following locations:

Phoenix, AZ USA
Salt Lake City, UT USA
Seattle, WA USA
Dallas, TX USA
Chicago, IL USA
Montreal, Canada
Frankfurt, Germany

Why Add Additional VPN Gateways?

The more users you have connecting through a particular gateway the slower it will get. Having 2 servers with 500 users each is preferable to a single server with 1000 users, for example. We want to make sure that our customers never have problems connecting to a server and that they always get the best speeds possible. That’s why we will always continue investing in our network and growing the number of VPN gateways we offer. We’re constantly adding gateways in completely new cities (like Philadelphia or Coventry), but it’s just as important to beef up our capacity in existing cities.

How Do You Use the New Gateways?

Chances are you’re probably already using them if you live near one of the new additions. The “Closest Locations” folder in the Ghost Path VPN client will automatically find them and add them to the rotation. If you want to connect to one of the new servers specifically then you can just create a new location folder and add only the server you want to use. You can also download Viscosity and OpenVPN files from our VPN server list.
