  However, according to Douglas Spink, who is the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Canadian networking company Baneki Privacy Computing, IPREDator's security systems may not be sufficient protection for persons such as an activist in Iran.
  
  "If an Iranian activist is trying to visit a banned website, [and] the authorities can see that they are visiting that website ... [that] would be enough to cause tragedy for an activist seeking protection via a VPN service," he told iTnews.
  
  Under the alias 'Fausty', Spink also operates VPN service TorrentFreedom, which runs on the open source VPN tool OpenVPN.
  
  Compared to IPREDator's quarterly 149 Swedish kronor (AUD$24) fee, TorrentFreedom's service comes at a pricier US$17 (AUD$20) per month.
  
  Spink explained that TorrentFreedom's VPN client has been years in the making. He said that an ideal commercial VPN service should be user-friendly, and legally as well as technically secure.
  
  "Like much open source code, OpenVPN is powerful and reliable - but very complex to run and configure," he said.

  It's situations like these that call for takeovers, as Douglas Spink, CEO of Seedling Technologies, explained to me. There's a business in buying out struggling companies and putting their assets to work in new ventures.It can be hostile, because it exposes the founders to risks they may not find attractive.But with the help of companies' investors, firms like Seedling attempt to convince (or force) founders to commit what's left of their capital to giving a new idea a fighting chance.

  Douglas B. Spink , Chairman and CEO of Seedling Technologies Corp. , said : Our first quarter results reflect the progress of our new team and our new business focus.The old operations of Brighton Technologies are -- for the time being -- written off our balance sheet.While we intend to recover these assets , which were misappropriated by the former management group of Brighton , we have not sat on our hands while our legal case against them unfolds..
  
  Rather , continued Spink , we have built up Seedling's business of identifying and supporting technology projects , both as a consultative resource and as an investor and acquirer.First quarter revenue reflects two months' sales from SouthernPlanet , our wholly-owned subsidiary which we acquired on January 30 , 2001.In addition to that operational revenue stream , we successfully sold our investments in both Webmodal and Stonepath Group , realizing net gains of $ 354 , 056..
  
  Concludes Spink : We have stabilized our operational overhead at a manageable level , and we are well-positioned to benefit from project-based work in the coming quarters.Our success in selling for cash our positions in Webmodal and Stonepath -- even in this tough market -- is indicative of our focus on results and not idle hype..
  
  Finally , our balance sheet -- even after the total write-off of Brighton's historical operating assets while simultaneously carrying forward selected debt left over from discontinued Brighton operations -- is improving steadily.A turnaround such as that which we have engineered with the former Brighton is neither easy nor quick.That said , I feel positive both about the progress we have already made and about the path we have set out for continued momentum into future quarters..
