ANNOUNCING LEAP Client, the internet encryption toolkit, v0.2.0 The LEAP team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 0.2.0 of LEAP Client https://leap.se/downloads/leap-client LEAP (LEAP Encryption Access Project) develops a plan to secure everyday communication, breaking down into discrete services. The client for the current phase gives support to the EIP Service. EIP (the Encrypted Internet Proxy) provides circumvention, location anonymization, and traffic encryption in a hassle-free, automatically self-configuring fashion. You can read the user manual and the developer notes online at: http://leap-client.readthedocs.org This is the first testing release for the LEAP Client, and it is by no means intended for real production use. Especially you are encouraged to not provide any kind of sensitive password during your registration process. See the NEWS file for more details. WHAT CAN THIS VERSION OF THE CLIENT DO FOR ME? You can connect to the EIP service offered by a provider of your choice, and enjoy a encrypted internet connection. The first run wizard allows to register an user with the selected provider, downloading all the config files needed to connect to the eip service There are also some minimal network checks in place.
