CES 2016: Keezel wins my best of Day 1 award


Tags :


At CES 2016 this week we got a closer look at Keezel, which is your own portable VPN network connection device. You connect everything to Keezel and let it connect to public (or any) network to protect your data.

Keezel has reached agreements with numerous global VPN providers to allow this device to work pretty much anywhere you can get online. Setup was amazingly simple. Turn on the Keezel, connect all your devices to it and then have Keezel log into whatever wireless network you desire.  Be it at the coffee shop, airport, friend's house or even your own home.

The idea of Keezel is to use VPN to protect your data.  While you sit in the coffee shop, you really do expose a lot of data. (Read a great recent article right here on how easy it is). So with the Keezel, you are not only protecting where you surf , but also your private data like account numbers, login names, and yes even passwords.

Bonus number one is that Keezel will allow you to switch which country you appear from (switch location). This opens up the ability to watch or stream shows and visit sites that are normally restricted unless you are in that country.  Think Netflix and iTunes as examples.

Bonus number two is that Keezel has a large enough battery inside that you can also charge your phone. This reduces the time the Keezel can run, but it already has a long battery life according to their statements at CES (we hope to really test it shortly).

Keezel also has big plans to allow you to hook two of them together to allow access to your files at home. Basically the two devices would tunnel a private connection for you just like you were on your own network.

I should have my hands on a device soon after CES for testing and a full video review. They have a ton of packages for annual and even lifetime subscriptions.  There is even a limited bandwwidth free version.  Keezel is still on Indiegogo but their website is live as well.
