The mix servers "Fondue" and "Grolsch" moved from LeaseWeb to SnelServer. The mix cascade "Fondue-Montesquieu-UranusGB" got a new entry IP address because of this.
We added 3620Systems, LLC to our list of verified mix operators. 3620Systems is located in Rochester, NY (USA). At the moment a test cascade with a first mix is running together with JonDos GmbH.
Small statement of M. Israel (CEO of 3620Systems, LLC) about his intention to join JonDonym:
Politically I follow the Pirate Party and hold the stance that information should be free, and I support the efforts of Wikileaks to make sure that information remains free.
In the last time some user of JonDonym recommended the exclusion of all US and British mix operators because of the PRISM leak of E. Snowden. We don't follow this opinion.
E. Snowden published documents about one espionage complex. The NSA in partnership with GCHQ, DSD, CSEC, GCSB and associated partners like German BND are the largest known espionage complex of the world. But there other intelligence services with vast espionage activities like FRA (Sweden), SSSI (Russia), Mossad (Israel) and more.
We can't see a border between "bad" and "good" nations but only between spying agencies and privacy activists. We don't have any reason to distrust our mix operators.
The data center where the two mix servers "FreeBeer" and "Goose" (both operated by L. Pimenidis) are hosted will be migrating to a new place, hence the two mix servers are scheduled to be transferred either June 27th 6am CEST or June 28th 6 am CEST. The free mix cascade "FreeBeer-Bolzano" and the premium mix cascade "Locke-Goose-Pluto" will be down for this time.
We're sorry for any inconvenience.
SpeedPartner GmbH will perform unscheduled maintenance on the hardware running mix servers lilie/nelke/tulpe today. Please expect a downtime of about 15 minutes and reduced performance while raid disks are rebuilding afterwards.
Sorry for any inconveniences caused.
Because of technical problems at TU Dresden all services provided by AN.ON for JonDonym have temporarily stopped working. Free services of JonDonym are currently low. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
Dear customers,
due to low usage, we decide to discontinued the AnonJabber service.
We apologize for closing the service.
Best regards,
