We grabbed the Windows build and watched it install without hassle.
The SumRando webpage has only two download links, one for its Android app, the other for Windows. SumRando's encryption is enough to protect you from simple forms of snoopers, and if privacy is a top priority, you really shouldn't be using as basic a service as SumRando, anyway. How much this matters in this case is open to question, though. For example, ExpressVPN uses AES-256-GCM, a 4096-bit RSA key, and SHA-256 for packet authentication. That can't match the strength of the encryption commonly used by top VPNs.
If you're more concerned about that '128-bit encryption' highlighted on the site, we took a look at how the Windows client connected, and found the precise encryption specs: AES-128-CBC on the data channel, 160-bit SHA1 for HMAC authentication, and the cipher TLSv1/SSLv3 DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, 1024 bit RSA. And if there are situations where SumRando needs more, the firm does at least say it will never sell or trade your details to anyone else.Īs usual with smaller VPNs, though, SumRando hasn't put itself through any form of security or privacy service to confirm how it really operates. On the plus side, it didn't correspond to our experiences later, as the company only required our email address.
That "other account management information" seems a little vague, but the privacy policy may offers some clues, where the company lists the data it might store about paying customers: "name, username, password, geographic region, email address, phone number, credit card and billing information." SumRando tries to be clear on its logging policy, stating that "we do not monitor what you do while connected to the service." But a FAQ page explains that there is some session logging, including "your connect and disconnect times, the amount of data transferred for accounting purposes, and other account management information to make sure things work for you." There's a small compensation in SumRando's support for Bitcoin payments, though, as well as card and PayPal.
