Though it works with other browsers as well, it opens IE when you launch UltraSurf. Though the name sounds more like a browser, it is a software that employs Internet Explorer for browsing – after hiding your IP address. The following aims to present a review of UltraSurf. In the endeavor to search for tools providing security online, I came across UltraSurf. Your favorite search engine is one such company that easily gives out your data and even sells it to advertising companies. While TOR won’t (or rather, CANNOT) give out your data even to the legal authorities, others may compromise and share your data with others. The only thing you need to consider is how these companies treat your data. Just run a search with “security” keyword on The Windows Club or click this link to check out articles on Online Security. Of course, you can go for paid versions but then, all of us love freebies, don’t we? Also, Jumpto looks as if more suited for kids.ĬyberGhost VPN is another anonymity tool for Windows that completely hides and protects your identity online. We had also discussed the Jumpto Browser, but since they offer only 100MB bandwidth per month for free, it is not feasible for many. Even the Anonymous group recommends TOR as a measure to keep yourself secure on the Internet – especially if you are blogging or reporting against the federal agencies, other government, or militant agencies. War journalists and bloggers from countries like China, Iran, and Afghanistan use it to protect their identity. One more such software is TOR (The Onion Router) browser. Some are simple browsers while others are dedicated channels that encrypt data during transmission.įor example, SpotFlux is a free VPN service that creates a secure channel between your computer and Spotflux servers after masking your IP address so that anyone snooping on your Internet usage is misguided. Different methods exist to protect your privacy and identity when you are online. We had posted a few reviews of tools that help you bypass any kind of censorship while protecting your privacy on the Internet. You can see the list at the end of this post. India too makes noises, on and off, about monitoring the Internet and thereby the freedom of speech. Iran is building its Internet to keep its citizens away from happenings in the world. Internet censorship already exists in China where even Google is censored. It took millions of phone calls and protests – both online and offline – to stop the Senate from passing the Internet Censorship bill (SOPA, as it was called).
The US almost blocked several sites meant to share things.
There is a lot of talk on Internet censorship.
