These services do one thing and one thing only: they mask your real IP-address in order to access websites they may not be accessible otherwise. All of these providers will happily provide insecure IPsec, L2TP and PPTP options to end-users if their platform does not have support for anything else. I'm not going to waste too much time here, but readers be aware that these are *not* secure options recommended by our guide. Aaron
