Question 1

What is MatchboxAir?

Accepted Answer

MatchboxAir is the world’s most simple-to-use VPN (Virtual Private Network) router. Connecting your devices to MatchboxAir gives you instant access to geo-blocked content and protects your privacy.

Question 2

How is MatchboxAir different from traditional VPN services?

Accepted Answer

Speed – MatchboxAir uses advanced algorithms to allow high speed connections directly to media providers. In contrast, traditional VPNs redirect all your internet traffic via a man-in-the-middle, creating huge bottlenecks. Simplicity – Just plug in the MatchboxAir router and connect any internet device to it. That’s it. Versatility – MatchboxAir supports all computer systems, mobile devices, tablets, smart TVs, newer game consoles, and streamers. In contrast, traditional VPNs or proxies only work on your computer, so you can't watch shows or movies from content providers like Amazon or Hulu+ on your TV. Simultaneous Multi-Zone – Watch content from different regions at the same time – one person in the house can watch “The Voice UK” on BBC while someone else can watch a movie off of Amazon in the US, all at the same time.

Question 3

Does MatchboxAir affect or slow down other internet services I have?

No way! In streaming mode, MatchboxAir will not affect any other Internet-based services you have. The MatchboxAir router surgically selects and reroutes only the supported streaming services packets. All other traffic is left alone and remains unaffected.
