Hard Disk Failure

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

hard-disk-head-crashDear SmartHide Community,

I would like to apologize for everything that happened and for every problems you’ve had during last 48 hours.

We have faced a very big problem that we could not predict – a Hard Disk Drive on our main server had crashed. This server serves as a webserver for our Websites, Databases, Forum, as well as for authorization purposes.

We had iWeb Datacenter technicians provide us with the new HDD and yesterday we finally got it up and running. As it was a new setup – we had to restore all the backups for Webserver, E-mail accounts, DNS settings, MYSQL databases of everything, etc, etc. It took a bunch of time as well.

At the moment we are waiting for our DNS settings to propagate all over the world so all our webresources could be accessible around the Globe.

At this time our technicians solved most of the technical problems and those of you who still have authorization or Login problems with SmartHide software – please create a ticket or email me directly to danny (at) smarthide.com with your SmartHide Login. I will make sure your issue is resolved.

I would like to ask for appology from each and everyone of you for this downtime. As one of our clients mentioned  – “things happen”. It will be a good lesson for us in order to prevent any possible incidents in the future.

Thank you all for understanding and patience and thank you for staying with us!

History of Arovax SmartHide. Final Part.

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

In July 2008 we had the last official SmartHide v.2.1.131 release. The only significant modification was Personal IP support. Well, actually, we released the software for this purpose only.

Version 2.1.131 [July 7 2008]

  • New: Personal IP Technology Support.
  • New: New format of the Servers List file.
  • New: Russian localization.
  • New: Internal support request routine is changed.

And now, after almost 8 months, the first version (and probably the last one) in line 2.2 is being released. Vista x64 compatibility, simple routes registration from the software, a higher usability level – here are the most important features of the last release of the second generation. Please find below the corresponding change log.

Version 2.2.192 [April 29 2009]

  • New: Vista x64 compatibility
  • New: Revised user interface
  • New: Fast server switch from the tray menu
  • New: Improved VPN engine
  • New: Additional options in settings dialog
  • New: Possibility to enter sites into Visibility List
  • Fixed: Text links updating during language change
  • Fixed: News tab hanging up while opening
  • Fixed: After Personal IP selection and SmartHide restart the selection is not saved
  • Fixed: With the activated option “Reconnect” and deactivated “SmartHide server change” the connection status is shown incorrectly during the reconnection.
  • Fixed: Unstable News tab behavior
  • Fixed: Multiple memory leaks

It’s been a long time since we started and we’ve done a lot during this period. If we installed one of the first versions now, I’m sure that it wouldn’t live long because, to put it mildly, it would have been a little bit hard to use.

As for the current moment – SmartHide Team has a lot of plans and ideas to implement in order to make “internet life” of every home or office user more safe and private. And we thank you all guys for your endless support on our way to our mission goals. Together we will succeed!

Thank you for staying with Arovax SmartHide Service!
