Veiltower: Secure 'Super' Router Launches on KickstarterToday Veil Systems launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise $250,000 for the Veiltower--the first complete solution for safe, secure personal internet. Last year, more than 40 million Americans were victims of cybercrime. Millions had credit card and other personal data exposed through data breaches. With Veiltower, you get military grade security wherever you are. Today, most internet connections aren't safe. Current Wifi access points are notoriously unsecure, using WEP, WPA or even WPA2 encryption at best, leaves consumers vulnerable to attacks. On top of that, using a third party hotspot, such as your local coffee shop, makes a user even more vulnerable to hacks. Veiltower solves that with the first secure personal internet connection. Veiltower combines a beautiful, sculptural design with military grade security. There's virtually zero setup. It works with Android (News - Alert), iOS, Mac and Windows. You connect securely at home. When you're away, using your smartphone's internet connection, the Veil Access App tunnels back to your Veitower at home, so you are always protected. Military grade protection, super-fast connectivity, smart VPN support and 802.1x encryption. The Veiltower's sleek design delivers unmatched range and speed. Using military grade 2048-bit encryption by default, this 'Super-Router' protects your personal information like no other, even when you're not home. And thanks to its intelligent firewall, consumers are also protected from other forms of cybercrime such as malware, phishing and many viruses. "The Veiltower's distinctive design creates a router you want to show off rather than hide. The antennas offer a range and speed that's beyond what you will find in any other home router," says Veiltower designer Eric Strebel. "It is incredibly difficult for consumers to be confident they won't get hacked or have their privacy invaded somehow, until now," says Edsard Ravelli, Veil Systems founder. "With the Veiltower, we're offering consumers a fast, safe and private connection everywhere they go." About Veil Systems, Inc.
