With all the fears and controversy surrounding the Snowdon revelations, and with Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft and other corporate giants being forced to admit that they have been assisting the government and the NSA in their spying activities, I have to ask myself, what chance does a relatively small company like Golden Frog have to resist that same government pressure.

I would like to see a Prominent Link on your home page to a very definitive statement that your servers are NOT, and never have been, Zombies for the US Government. I would be even happier for you to declare that you would shut down your company before you would bow to government pressure.

We all know that encrypted packets are of special interest to Government Snoopers, so it would seem to me that companies like yours would be a prime target for secret warrants and other spooky spy stuff.

I worry that you folks just don't have the size or power to resist such a government assault, so I wonder how you can assure me that your company has not already been compromised? At the moment, I have serious trust issues.

Hey guys!

Bit of a crazy idea.. Open Sourcing all your apps. Might seem like a bit of a wild idea but in my opinion, if your really behind Privacy and Security then FLOSS is the best way forward.

And from a business perspective, it's not like you'll have free loaders using the services as anyone who has tried VyprVPN for Mac knows, get Viscosity or what ever and you still need to authenticate with your username/password! If I used Boxcryptor with DumpTruck I'm sure that would work out the same.

At least Open Source Cyphr since it's free! It makes sense and if you look at your biggest competitor, Text Secure/Signal, it's Open Source and highly recommended not only because Moxie made it but because hackers, IT Sec guys and more can see the code!

I have noticed this in VyprVPN, but this may be applicable to other products as well, so I have posted this to "general".

Issue:
Screen text - especially error dialog and version text - is not selectable or copyable.

Why is this an issue?

(1) When submitting a question, support request, or whatever either directly to your support people, or via the forum, the user has to either write down the information, or try to reproduce it from memory.

(2) In most every case, your support people, (and others on the forum who can help), need specific, current, and accurate product and version information.

The inability to select-and-copy dialog or screen text makes it difficult to send precise and accurate information when requesting help.

Suggestion:

1. If possible, make all VyprVPN, (and other products), screen output selectable and copyable.

2. If that is not feasible for whatever reason, can error dialog, as well as product/version information be made copyable?

Thanks again for all your help.
