Technical details:
Compresita system fully integrates with iOS. It supports all the modern desktops and mobile platforms. The VPN used is supported by a large variety of devices and platforms. We currently support PPTP, and in the future, we plan to support the more secure OpenVPN, and L2TP/IPSec.

With the help of GRE tunnel PPTP connection is established by the server and the end-user device. Encrypted compressed traffic is transmitted through the established tunnel. The level of compression and the type of encryption are agreed between the client and the server at the moment of tunnel establishment. The server supports various types of encryption and compressions, which allows different kinds of clients to connect to it.

Compresita has the following features:
- A client opens a web page, starts checking e-mail and downloading content & attachments.
- The closest to the client server recognizes the client type and provides a script for auto-creation and VPN profiles.
- Server with several multi-processor** VPN routers explores the most available. The client will be attached to this particular device.
- A user launches a prepared script by touching the ‘configure VPN connection’ button.
- The user receives a ready, built-in VPN on a device which is easy to switch on and off depending on user’s needs.
- The client connects through a previously configured PPTP to VPN multi-processor router and gets an encrypted VPN connected with traffic compression.
- VPN multi-processor router collects statistics on the user live and stores it in its RAM.
- Once per minute the server queries all VPN multi-processor routers, gathering statistics using the system and transferring it to the SQL database.
- On client request (web-page or mobile app) the statistics of traffic usage is transmitted to the client.
