VyprVPN DesktopToday, the Golden Frog Dev team updated VyprVPN Desktop. The 1.4 update includes Windows 8 support, minor bug fixes and an application name change.

VyprVPN Desktop 1.4 update includes:
  • Support for Windows 8
  • Minor bug fixes
  • Name change to "VyprVPN"
You can apply this update directly within VyprVPN 1.3 or download VyprVPN 1.4 from the Golden Frog website.

VyprVPN is included free with every Diamond account and is also available as add-on service for non-Diamond accounts using the Giganews control panel.
