I have been developing tunnelmonkey.com, a pay by the hour VPN service, for the past six months. I built Tunnelmonkey for my dad as he didn't want to pay for a full month of VPN service (he works from the coffee shop rarely) yet still desired the security provided by a VPN. Tunnelmonkey is different from other VPN providers as it is the only VPN service to provide a pay by the hour model (and isn't nearly as ugly as most of them).

Tunnelmonkey is currently in beta and is being tested by five or so of my close friends. I am looking for a co-founder (preferably technical that likes marketing) to help find paying customers and to bounce ideas off of. If they/you could help with development that would be a plus.

A little about me:

I am 18 and currently a high school senior in the Northern California area. I have been using Linux for around 10 years now and have been using Ruby and Sinatra/Rails to make websites for the past three years. Tunnelmonkey is my first real (longer term) project.

What I want to ask HN is if anyone is interested (or knows) anyone that is 18-20 years old, likes marketing, and has Ruby/Linux experience that would like to be a co-founder?

If you would like a free trial link to mess around with the service you can get in touch with me in the comments or using the two ways below.
