Ok People, I can see this IKS thing is taking the hobby by storm. I hereby issue my formal warning to those of you who wish to indulge in such activity.

IKS Is Dangerous!

Should you choose to use IKS as a form of television viewing, you need to be aware of your risk. For those of you asking "what is IKS?", IKS is (Internet Key Sharing). The receiver is hooked to the internet via dongle or serial port, the receiver then requests the decryption keys from a server somewhere sharing a subscribed card. The keys are sent to the FTA receiver and processed to show video. The main risk is that you are connected to the internet the entire time and we all know people can easily be traced back to their homes through the internet.

I should add that these "servers" claim to (mask) your IP address thus protecting you from being identified, but really.. I'd hate to find out the hard way that their (masking) wasnt as good as they thought it was.

Let's take for example - Nfusion - for about a year, Nfusion was the greatest thing since sliced bread and they were deemed the IKS success story as their receivers flew off store shelves. JJ Gee, the head of DN signal integrity department, went after them with a vengance! The next thing you know, the Nfusion servers are down and rumors begin to circulate about a possible raid and confiscation of server logs. Of course, the Nfusion people (also associated with Kbox "coolsat") deny the claims and continue to insist that the people are safe and that they were just performing routine maintenance on the servers. Shortly after, the Nfusion receivers were lacking support which led many to believe that the people responsible for support were possibly "on the run".

Now let's move on to Sonicview, the folks at the Sonicview camp have proven their resillience in the game many times and none is more impressive than their recent 5 month uptime accomplishment! Why they are choosing to go the IKS route is beyond me but one can only guess, it's in the intrest of keeping their business running, plain and simple. The Viewsat camp, on the other hand, is confident in a cardless solution very soon and for the sake of the hobby, I wish them the best of luck.

In closing I would like to add, I am not too savvy on the way IKS really works or how masking features are implemented or how well they work. These are things that are likely kept under wraps so as not to expose their possible vulnerabilities. Whatever the case, I have spoken my peace and I hope you all stay safe. Thanks for being here!

I feel ya.That when a good IPhider comes in handy.From experience the safest way to use the hider is have no browsers open.On nF you can run and change proxys.
