General Questions

What is the price of a GoodIP dongle?

$99. There is no recurring monthly fee.


Do you have a free version of GoodIP?

Yes. If you want to use your own hardware (such as a Raspberry pi for instance or an old PC), you can download and use the free version of GoodIP.


Is GoodIP legal?

100%. GoodIP doesn't exploit any technical or judicial loophole.


What can I do when I access the Internet via my dongle?

Everything. When you are using your own donle, you can browser whatever you want. There is a tunnel between your device and the dongle and then you access the Internet with the IP address of your own dongle.


What can I do when I access the Internet via another dongle?

Once you have joined the GoodIP Network, you can access the Internet via any other GoodIP Dongle. In order to protect the GoodIP members, you can only browse the Internet (TCP traffic only, no UDP) including VoD and everything "standard". The traffic is automatically filtered by the dongle and you won't be able to access "bad" content such as adult websites, gambling and so on.


What are the prerequesites to access my own dongle?

None.


What are the prerequesites to access the Internet via the other dongles?

You need to verify your email, your phone and your identity card. Identity info is not stored on our servers and stays on the Stripe servers. Your dongle needs to be plugged and alive so that you are granted to use the other dongles.


If someone uses my dongle to access the Internet, can he access my private network?

No. Your dongle doesn't have access to your own private network.


I want to browse adult content, should I buy a GoodIP Dongle?

No, definitely not and you won't be able to do it. There are dozens of VPNs which allow you to browse adult content anonymously. That's not the purpose of GoodIP.
