Q: Most public WiFi hotspot would require a "disclaimer" / "acknowledge", etc. before WiFi
connection is usable. Would your USB dongle work in this case?
A:
Yes, our HTTPS-VPN USB dongle would work in such case. Before WiFi connection is usable,
the VPN tunnel is not created. The "disclaimer" / "acknowledge" page would be automatically
forwarded to the device (smartphone / PC) that first access internet. Such device can check
"acknowledge" or click "disclaimer" button. After that, VPN tunnel can be created and
everything works as it should.
Just a heads-up that, usually such WiFi hotspot would require you to do "disclaimer" /
"acknowledge" thing once a hour. VPN tunnel can be blocked after one hour. It will time out and
reconnect in about one minute. If you cannot wait, you can login to the VPN UI page (Figure 10).
Then disable VPN and enable VPN again.

Q: I notice that in the "Advanced --> About" section, the subscription ends in 365 days. What
does that mean?
A:
Each USB-Dongle comes with 1 year VPN service subscription. The subscription info is in this
"
About
" section.
After subscription expires, you have a few options.
a)
Buy a new USB-dongle which would come with 1 year subscription.
b)
Re-use the USB-dongle and renew VPN service subscription. Email us the 32 byte long
string in the "
HW Signature
" part. We will send you a download link for the
ssubscription that only works only on this hardware.
c)
Disable VPN and use this dongle as USB-to-WiFi adapter or WiFi repeater.
Actually, there is another option. That is, set up your own HTTPS-VPN server. We have HTTPS-
VPN server & client pair combo for sale. email [email protected] for further
information.

Q: Other than some foreign countries, any other places that monitor your internet traffic or
block VPN service?
A:
As a matter of fact, there are more places than you can think. Even in US, there are a few
places that legitimately monitor your internet traffic. e.g. Your work place may provide free
internet access. But you are explicitly told that your internet activity is subject to being
