To
surf anonymously "Many
internet users would like to surf unrecognised in a monitored net."

online With each visit on the internet you leave perfidious traces
- that way not only comprehensive profiles about you and your
surfing patterns can be created, you also leave traces which can be
backtracked. For domain owners it is easy to acquire personal
information about you and your surfing attitude. Your browser
submits much information to the operators of internet pages, such
as your IP-address, the browser used and much more. Via the IP-address
it can be determined who is your internet provider. Through the
IP-address it is even possible to find out from which town you are
from.
Many website operators collect such data and to a large extent. WINSWEEP enables you through a poxy-mixer-technology, to camouflage
your true identity towards website operators. By using up to 32
intermediary proxy servers, these (proxy servers) get the data of the
requested internet page and submit it to your browser. For the
operator of the website it looks like the intermediary proxy server
initiates the request. The operator of the website can only learn
the IP-address of the proxy server. Your identity remains disguised.
The proxy-mixer-techique of WINSWEEP takes care that the data of
your internet sessions will be redirected over up to 32 randomly
chosen anonymised proxy servers. Using this technique it will become
a lot more difficult to follow your traces on the internet.
Additionally WINSWEEP can also start anonymous and secure internet sessions.
There the download of ActiveX controls will be prevented. ActiveX-controls
are programmes that once loaded on your computer can gain full
control of your computer.
Most of the internet dialers are distributed via respective pages
as ActiveX-controls. Even the execution of active contents such as JavaScript
and VBScript are prevented in the secure internet mode. Please note
that not all internet pages operate correctly in the secure mode. We
recommend the secure mode in case you intend to visit
internet pages WINSWEEP is your magic-cap on the internet. Via an automatic update-function
you always receive an up to date list with many funtioning
anonymising proxy servers from all over the world.
The use of anonymising proxy servers is free of
charge.
The anonymous surfing also works with the browsers of Netscape,
Mozilla and Opera. In your settings of WINSWEEP you just choose
which browser you want to use. |
