This program is completely FREE with absolutely NO ADS!May 25, 2008 at 10:52 pm #169726YahooliganMemberThat’s a lotta features!
May 26, 2008 at 12:51 am #169727mfenechMemberThis free version will do more than YTunnel Pro. A lot more.
May 26, 2008 at 3:06 am #169724Torseq Tech.MemberWhat Lite will be is a lightly slimmed down version of YTK Pro. It’s goal is to compete with Y!TunnelBasic and Y!TunnelPro because it’s free with, as you guys noticed, a lot of *working* features. There’s no catch here… this is something that isn’t worth missing out on. When it’s made available (hopefully sometime early this week) it will be available for download at http://www.YTKPro.com.
I’ll post back here when it’s available! 😀
May 26, 2008 at 3:12 am #169721imported_Ven0mMemberAwesome, this should please a lot of people out there. Finally, a proper free alternative to Y!TunnelPro and Y!TunnelBasic, with a lot of features to boot! 😀
May 26, 2008 at 4:39 am #169723Torseq Tech.MemberBesides having many features that Y!TunnelPro/Basic doesn’t have (that actually work) YTK Lite also has 2 clear advantages over Y!Tunnel.
1) Official Windows Vista Support
2) Official Support for Messenger 9.0
😎
Y!TunnelBasic is a nice free product but YTK Lite will clearly give you more functionality for free.

:woot:
November 23, 2008 at 7:53 pm #169728miller7796MemberNote that this is NOT compatible with a 64 bit Vista system. Would be great to know that before you install it rather than getting the message the first time you go to run the program.
November 25, 2008 at 11:45 pm #169729totallygenericMemberToday is November 25, 2008…
Looked in on BigBlueBall and was excited to see a post from Torseq Tech about the re-release of YTK Lite. So I downloaded it, and everything seemed fine.
But after signing out, I discovered that the program had saved none of my settings after logging in several hours later. I was confused. I thought I had forgotten to check a box, somewhere. So I visited Torseq’s support forums, and discovered that they have discontinued support (again) for the free version of YTK that allows potential paid users of their groundbreaking software to “Try it out”.
Their website claims that, as it’s still just the two of them, they have no time to devote to the support of the free “Lite” version.
Well surely, between the two of them, with as many posts as appear on their behalf within BigBlueBall forums, they must be able to take a few moments, and ask that any direct link to a free download of YTK Lite be removed from BigBlueBall, at least until such time as they can facilitate the necessary resources to maintain a manageable support base.Thank You for your time
November 26, 2008 at 12:54 am #169722imported_Ven0mMemberYTK Lite has been officially been discontinued because of various reasons, one of them being time constraints, the other was lack of appreciation, and complete disrespect from certain groups of people who would rather use a pirated version of the Pro software, rather than the feature rich free version of the software. You can read the exact reasons for why YTK Lite was discontinued from here.
I’ll take care of the links.
