You should not use older client versions unless you suspect that something has changed for the worse with a new client release and you would like to try a previous version to determine if it's true. Old client versions can be found here.
The latest version compatible with Java 1.4 and Java 5 is 20080815-01. We strongly recommend that you only use this version if you must use an obsolete Java installation.
In order to unleash the full functionality of the Your Freedom client, OpenVPN needs to be installed on your computer as well. You do not need to configure it (which is a bit obscure), you only need to install it with default options (which is simple).
Download OpenVPN from the OpenVPN download page.
Note: You must use a 2.1 version of OpenVPN.
If you don't want to (or can't) use OpenVPN mode and your application/game does not support connecting through a web or SOCKS proxy, you need a "socksifier". A "socksisier" sits in the middle between your application/game and the network and makes the application/game believe that is connecting normally while it is actually connecting through a proxy (the Your Freedom client in this case). There are several available, some for free, some for a donation, some for a more or less reasonable license fee, and some may work better for your application than others. The choice is yours. The list below is our choice of the available offerings. Some more details and configuration information can be found in our SOCKS howto.
- WideCap
WideCap is a free socksifier that integrates with the system network stack and does not rely on pre-loading a library like some other socksifiers. It works with many games and applications that cannot be used with socksifiers like SocksCap and FreeCap. We know it works well with Steam powered games.
- FreeCap
FreeCap is, as the name suggests, freeware. The author asks for a small donation if you like it. Download FreeCap from the author's download page. We like this best because it's free and easy to use, and it's good enough for many (but not all) applications.
- SocksCap
SocksCap used to be distributed for free (non-commercial use) by Permeo but is no longer available from their web page. There are loads of copies on the Internet though, just google for "sc32r240.exe download". The latest release is 2.40.
- ProxyCap
ProxyCap is a highly sophisticated (and somewhat difficult to use) socksifier. It comes with a 30 day free trial period. A license costs USD 30. Download it from the PROXYLABS home page.
- Proxifier
Proxifier is also a very clever piece of software. Testing for 31 days is free, a license costs USD 40. Plus it's also available for Mac OS X. Check it out on the Proxifier home page.
- SuperSocks5Cap
bla
- Hummingbird Socks
The Hummingbird suite contains a socksifier as well. It can be found on the Hummingbird web site.
- Dante
Dante is the de-facto standard in the Unix/Linux world. It's free. Download it from Inferno Nettverk's web site or just install it as part of your distribution (it's probably called "dante-client").
- tsocks
tsocks is another Unix/Linux world socksification tool, also free. It can be found on Sourceforge. There is a Mac OS X version as well.
We require that you maintain your PC in a safe state, free of viruses, worms and other malware, and ensure that it is not part of a bot net. If you have never worried about this before you should now (especially if you run Windows), and click this link in Internet Explorer: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm (it won't work in any other browser). Or go the whole hog and install a security suite. Here are some examples that are free of charge:
This list is by no means comprehensive. We haven't got a preference what you use as long as you use something suitable. We recommend the ones above solely because we believe they are suitable and they are free.
20130513-02
Fixed potential null pointer exception in HTTPS mode.
20130513-01
Fixed regression in HTTPS mode that would break it for many users. Sorry... :-(
Fixed bug in HTTP/HTTPS/POST/CGI modes that would cause connections to fail on second attempt with different address.
Fast-skip IPv6 addresses in FTP mode, they don't work (not implemented yet).
On Linux, use hidden file name .ems.cfg instead of ems.cfg and automatically convert existing config.
Fixed many small bugs in config window that would cause crashes (effectively breaking the "save&exit" button).
20130507-01
Removed unnecessary reauth cycles from HTTPS session reconnects.
20130506-03
Performance fixes to timer code.
20130506-02
Cleaned up timer code.
Increase dynamically calculated minimum keepalive time in HTTPS protocol.
20130506-01
Updated built-in server lists.
HTTPS mode had stability problems for some users. This should be fixed.
20130504-01
Ensure DNS cache expiry when using legacy resolver interface.
20130503-01
Migrated everything that used old-style resolver code to new resolver. You should not notice the difference... but maybe some things work better now. Everything is now aligned again with Android development.
20130426-01
Try basic authentication if proxy authentication is set to "any or none" and a proxy domain is configured. Switch to NTLM if it doesn't work. Previous behavior was to avoid Basic authentication if a proxy domain is configured. If you need this behavior, please configure "prefer NTLM".
If, for whatever reason, OpenVPN dies, restart it unless there is no chance that it will work.
Detect if OpenVPN has died uncleanly and has left stray routes; delete them if yes. It may help with restarting the connection.
