  Just curious as to how you're going to compete with AWS? Surely their economies of scale mean they can deliver their service much cheaper than smaller operations. And for people that find the whole EC2 thing too daunting, there's Lightsail (or Digital Ocean/Linode/Vultr).

  Back to your original question, I guess a simple, automated backup/recovery system and personalised service are two areas where you could differentiate. There's also the semi-managed thing like Server Pilot are doing. Or an uptime/performance alert system like Pingdom or New Relic.

  But you still have to be close to AWS on performance (network in particular). I had a VPN with an Aussie VPN provider and they weren't so I've just moved that service to AWS.

    Hi dazweeja,

    Thanks for taking the time to comment. However, I believe you are talking about a VPS. We are working on a VPN service.

    However, since you mention it, if you want to try out a good VPS company that are Australian, check out www.vpsblocks.com.au (not affiliated). They have good customer support and when I was using them when I use to be part of uFlix, their servers were always very good.

    Regards,

      Lol! Basic reading fail on my part!

      I use PIA for my VPN. Performance and no logging is what I look for (which will always require a degree of trust anyway). I do like having the 5 concurrent devices too.

        Hi dazweeja,

        Not a problem! It happens.

        Thanks for that. Do you consider 5 devices sufficient? If you could have, say eight, would it be of help to you?

        @Oeck:

        5 is more than sufficient for me, because it's configured on my router, so I only need the other connections on my phone and laptop when away from home. Personally, I think if you went too high, people would just be giving logins to all their mates.

        @dazweeja:

        Thanks for the reply. Yes, the hard limit is there to avoid abuse. We are thinking of a different way around this problem should a user need more connections. Your reply has been helpful. Thanks again.

  I think different people might have different needs (which I guess is the point of this post).

  For me personally:

  1. Regions: At a very least: US, England, Germany (or other continental EU country), Japan, China. Of course, there are situations like this one: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/279292 where random regions may turn out to have certain benefits.

  2. Concurrent connections: I've no idea to be honest - enough for a few people all to be surfing the net, downloading half a dozen things (including torrents), Youtubing, spotify, netflix and various web services (like Google Assistant/Siri/etc).

  3. Windows, Android. I assume others would want Mac and iOS support.

    Hi HighAndDry,

    Thanks for replying!

    Just out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking, why do you want China as an available region?

      For certain sites in certain situations, it's easier to access (like AliExpress, Taobao, etc).

    Hi kza2610,

    Thanks for the reply. Assuming Netflix Geo-unblocking was a best-effort service rather than the core business model, is this a deal breaker for you?

      Tbh, I am not too much of a techy person, not really fussed about my privacy (such as if FB monitors my messages, idgaf kinda thing) . But hubby torrents a lot, so if its easy to set up and we are able to download 'worry free' then that's a plus.

      I have looked at a few VPN's for it, but I don't understand all the language and settings etc, so I think if its easy to set up and understand how it works, that would be a big + factor.

  You won't like this but for me: It has to be 100% free, no limitations, couldn't find anything other than Cyberghost. And no, in this case I don't care what "they" do with my data / browsing habits.

    Hi ElWircho,

    Thanks for the reply. If possible, are you able to elaborate on why you want the VPN if you don't care what they do with your data?

    Obviously our business model is different to a free VPN and we will never log user activity, but I am just wondering what the purpose of the VPN is to you if you don't care about the privacy side of it?

    Peter @ Oeck.
