New ultra-fast anonymous connections released for all XeroBank clients

We are releasing 14 new routes for all new and existing users. All the machines are exceptionally fast, with users reporting as much as 35,000 Kbps of anonymous high-speed transfer. These new routes are for Canada, Netherlands, the United States, and are multiplexed routes for superior anonymity. Users can select their own entry and exit nodes, and can pick if they want them to be randomized. So a user in the USA could pick a route that has the USA as an entry node because it is close to him, and Random as the exit node, which would select from Canada or Netherlands.

The new addition of Turbo Privacy route is a single-hop that crowds onto a cryptographic terminator with other anonymous multi-hop users. This allows Turbo Privacy users to get less than half the latency and nearly quadruple the bandwidth of other connections, while getting stronger anonymity than any single-hop network. We will shortly also be introducing France into the mix for even more route selections.

Visit the XeroBank forum to download the configuration files. Add them to your current configurations. If you don't have XeroBank, you can try it out for a full month for only $1.

New Login System To Be Developed

We pride ourselves on have not only exceptional security, but ease of use. Our team thinks we can do better. Ricardo and I have designed a new login that should make things simpler for most users with a login style they are used to, while allowing advanced users to maintain the high anonymity of their account information.

What we've designed is being codenamed Unilogon. All users will be migrated to it. It will work like this:

Username: ___________ @ xerobank.net
Password:

So the users will login with their xerobank email address. If they are an advanced user their login will be similar to what we have now. They can require their Access Account and Deposit Account credentials, and both will be password encoded. We know many users like long complex passwords and accounts, so we're going to preserve them.

The end result is those who just want strong privacy will have it, and those who want to delve deeper and get strong anonymity, even in the ownership of their account, will be supporteed as well.

New Internet Privacy with Unlimited Bandwidth

All XeroBank users will get a new unlimited throughput connection which will not deduct from their premium bandwidth. No more worries about running out of traffic if you are a fan of downloading torrents.

These new unlimited connections are run on Xero Networks cryptographic terminators as a single hop. That means not only will your connection be blazing fast up to 8 Mbps, but still with higher anonymity than any other single-hop provider since traffic will mix with multi-hop users as well!

Enjoy.

XeroBank to Decentralize Trust

There is news on high that we are working on a new distributed and decentralized trust system. What that means is that similar to the Tor and Jondonym network, 3rd parties can relay encrypted traffic to us. That means that users will get additional protection because we are no longer able to discover who originated the traffic, only that it was authorized. Unlike the Tor and Jondonym network, we are immune to exit node injection, are broad-band speed, have no untrusted peers, and are not using peers that are in the same or weak legal jurisdictions. More information to be announced including a press release.

XeroBank Unlimited Anonymous High-Speed Traffic Nodes

XeroBank has all kinds of customers, some just do the most minor of anonymous browsing and encrypted email checking. Others are heavy downloaders of video streams and torrents. XeroBank provides high-quality cascaded/multiplexed anonymous traffic to their users, typically in blocks of 75GB per month. While this meets the needs of 95% of the people, who are the former, what about the last 5%? What happens to them?

I'll tell you. They consume their data volume for the month, and then they are unprotected because they can't connect. I asked Kristin about this, since she recently ran out of volume on one of our overhead accounts. While it was trivial to refill her data allowance, she stated that for that time, she felt unprotected, like she was surfing naked. I wondered if others felt that way, because I certainly knew it was they case that they were unprotected from hacking/surveillance/snooping. Turns out, they do, and it turns them off that it seems XB doesn't fit them. Well now it will.

After bringing this issue to management, they seemed to think we could find a solution so we weren't turning people away. In a month or so XeroBank will release a new unlimited 100Mbps node. The node will not be part of our multiplexed cascade, but will still offer encryption and IP obfuscation. That means that instead of you getting blocked from accessing if you run out of data allowance, you'll still be able to connect as long as you have an account in good standing. That way normal users can get the premium bandwidth they want, and we don't have to turn heavy users away either. Also, if you haven't run out of bandwidth, and still just want to use the Unlimited node so you aren't depleting your premium bandwidth, you should be able to.
