hi signed up to vpntunnel.se and noticed that i am connected to an ip that says that it is Portlane VPN customers does anyone know if these to company's are the same
I would say yes they are owned by Portlane. If you do a whois query here: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html on the IP of the website vpntunnel.se which is: 80.67.14.14 you get this information: Hopefully this answers your question.
It would be great if we help to keep this post alive https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=1996708#post1996708 Since it contains the most for VPNs and other services... Seem odd that Portlane mentions only Anonine if they own others then why not mention them? http://www.portlane.com/en/services/anonymous_vpn Darknetvpn - www.darknetvpn.com also has the same IP range... PING www.darknetvpn.com (80.67.14.5) Code: inetnum: 80.67.14.0 - 80.67.15.255 netname: VPNTUNNEL-NET descr: VPNTUNNEL.se NETWORK descr: ################################ descr: #Abuse to: [email]abuse@vpntunnel.se[/email] # descr: ################################ country: SE admin-c: PN1967-RIPE tech-c: PN1967-RIPE status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: MNT-PORTLANE source: RIPE #Filtered role: Portlane NOC address: BOX 6322 address: 10235 Stockholm address: Sweden e-mail: [email]noc@portlane.com[/email] admin-c: PN1967-RIPE tech-c: PN1967-RIPE nic-hdl: PN1967-RIPE mnt-by: MNT-PORTLANE source: RIPE #Filtered route: 80.67.0.0/20 descr: Portlane Network origin: AS42708 mnt-by: MNT-PORTLANE source: RIPE #Filtered Looks like they own 3 VPN services; Anonine, VPNTunnel and Darknet... I sent them an email asking why they don't list all three on their website and only Anonine...
