Configuration Information
AnonyNews has two server systems:
- US: news-us.anonynews.com
- EU: news-eu.anonynews.com
You should use the server system closest to you, but if any issue arises with that system you can use the other system. Both systems have the same retention.
You should also configure the ports to:
- NNTP: 119, 20, 23, 53, 443, 2000, 8080, 9000, 9001, 9002
- NNTP + SSL: 563, 80, 81, 465, 993
We recommend that subscribers use SSL ports for security purposes.
Speed Test
AnonyNews provides high speed downloads via multiple high-performance systems. This would enable users to maximize the speed of their own broadband connection when accessing Usenet.
Privacy
SSL encrypted access is available with an AnonyNews plan. This means you can access Usenet without having to worry about who can see your activity. AnonyNews does not log any upload or download activity. They only keep some upload data for the sole reason of tracking spammers.
There is no information on the company’s privacy policy.
Customer Service
Their customer support is open 24/7 and you can reach them through their online web form. You may also check their FAQ page for basic service and configuration information.
Additional Products
AnonyNews does not have any additional products available.
Summary
While AnonyNews has some decent features needed for a good Usenet experience, their service seems dated. Their pricing is a lot higher than our top Usenet providers who offer better features at lower costs. AnonyNews may benefit from updating both their services and their website to appeal to more consumers.
