Getting Started
Q: How do I access or use nobrodev?
A: Using nobrodev is easy! You simply go to www.nobrodev.com, login, and launch a secure session. It's that simple! There are no installs or configurations. The only prerequisites is a comptuer, web browser, and internet connection. See our introductory videos in our 'Getting Started' guide.
Q: How do I signUp for nobrodev?

Q: How does nobrodev differ from a VPN?
A: nobrodev differs from a VPN in many ways, here are just a few explained:
1.) A VPN requires a client to be installed on your computer. It requires you to have administrative access to install this software. This means that you cannot install VPN software onto shared computers, such as airport, or library computers, etc. With nobrodev, there is *no installation of software*, nobrodev runs direclty from your favorite web browser; Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc.
2.) Furthermore, although they claim otherwise, VPN exist on your local PC and can leak DNS information to your internet provider. When you connect to nobrodev, DNS queries egress from our servers, not your local computer, meaning big borther can't see what websites you went to.
3.) VPN leaves logs on your local device. This includes installation, credentials, and potentially history and log files.

Q: How does nobrodev differ from Tor?
A: nobrodev differs from a Tor in many ways, here are just a few explained:
1.) Firstly, we think Tor is great tool. However, similar to a VPN it does require some level of installation on your local computer. Even the Tor Browser requires installation on the local devce. Installing software typically requires you to have administrative access to the PC (which is not common in shared terminals). This means that you cannot install Tor software to shared devices, such as airport, or library computers. With nobrodev, there is *no installation of software*, nobrodev runs direclty from your favorite web browser; Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc.
2.) When using Tor, your traffic is routed thru Tor hosted nodes. These nodes are owned by other people in various countries (where laws differ). Your security is based on the trust you have on the Tor exit nodes you are using. With nobrodev, you surf the web thru us, not a random Tor exit node.
3.) Tor does not work everywhere. It is factually blocked in certain countries in the Middle East and Asia. Even Tor proxy's a are blocked in certain locations. Tor traffic is also detected by your compnay or Internet Service Provider's firewalls. Most corporations, schools, and organizations block the use of Tor at their firewall. With nobrodev, we are a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) website, not Tor, therefore you can access *Your Private Session* from anywhere globally!

Login & Access
Q: Why can't I SignUp for a new Free-Tier account at nobrodev.com?
A: Our beta-launch was a huge success (thank you to eveyone who participated). We'd love to give everyone a free account, however the truth is, nobrodev runs on real servers, dedicated to you, so we pay for platform costs out of pocket.
