I ran a retrieval on my laptop at 6:57 pm and got results for 6:56 pm. (I had no idea Adeona had just "talked" with the server.) The traceroute tracked my notebook to the Verizon Wireless tower about a half-mile away.
I’m impressed with the thoughtful design, simplicity, and security of Adeona, and I will be using it on both of my notebooks. I like the fact that Adeona is open source. The methods they use are not secret – any knowledgeable person can examine the source code, compile it, criticize it, and improve it. I like their name, too. Adeona is named after the Roman goddess who guided children home after they left for the first time. She was the goddess of safe returns.
