Secure-Tunnel Overview:
Example 1
Let's begin with the following scenario. You and your trusty Super Laptop Pro decide to head down to the mall to enjoy some snacks from the food court and use the Free Wireless Wi-Fi hotspot to access your favorite web sites, web mail and do some day-trading on an online banking site.
Little do you notice that just a few yards away a man is sitting with his laptop, quietly collecting all your data as it passes through the air to the mall's wireless hotspot.
He now has free access to all your usernames, passwords and e-mail in addition to all your online banking.
So what could you have done to protect yourself?
By using Secure Tunnel, all your data was encrypted with SSH encryption before it even left your computer. So the hacker sitting quietly in the corner is simply intercepting garbage. He doesn't even know what web sites you are visiting, because your entire online experience was completely protected.
Example 2
You are a middle manager at a powerful fortune 500 company. For some time you have been flirting with another girl in the office via e-mail and occasionally checking up on your favorite sports team, via sporto.com. Little did you know that all of your traffic being routed through your company ISP was being logged and tracked. There is no employee privacy! Later, your company's System Administrator reports you to your boss and you are fired. Bummer.
So what could you have done to protect yourself?
By using Secure Tunnel, all your information was encrypted before it ever touched your company's network, therefore all your data, including the web sites you visited are unavailable to your employers. You can enjoy employee and email privacy at your workplace. Secure Tunnel provides 1024 bit encryption decrypyion for data safety and security.
Oh, and the added bonus. Employers often block certain web sites and ports, thus prohibiting you from surfing there (like maybe sporto.com) and using certain software (like chat software). By using Secure Tunnel all your data is forwarded through a single port, so not only do you get access to the unrestricted internet, but your employer has no way of knowing what you're up to. It will hide IP addresses too.
Example 3
You're a college student that likes to hang out online in your spare time and play video games. Unfortunately your school, Buzkil University, restricts all the ports necessary to play your favorite online games.
Never fear, Secure-Tunnel to the rescue! By running your game through the secure tunnel proxy, your school will not only never know what you are up to online, but they will be unable to stop you, because all your video game traffic will pass through a single port that the university has to leave open. Secure tunneling to the rescue. Ta Daaaaa! |
