SecurSURF

SecurSURF creates an encrypted virtual tunnel between your computer and one of our high bandwidth security proxy servers. This tunnel shields you from the most sophisticated methods of online spying and snooping.

SecurSurf is like the secure VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) that corporations use, but designed for personal use. SecurSurf is simple to set up and use, and works silently in the background. The internet connection is only slowed down minimally (depending on your internet connection and number of nodes between your computer and our servers)
After you configure your Internet applications (like your web browser) to send their traffic through the Tunnel, your Internet activity is protected. Every packet of data is encrypted using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm.

When your data emerges from our privacy proxy at the other end of the Tunnel, it appears to outside observers as if your traffic started at our proxy - not your home machine. So SecurSurf, in addition to encrypting your traffic, anonymizes your online activity.

Note:
The AES algorithm was selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology from among almost two dozen other candidates in October 2000, after years of analysis and testing, to replace the worldwide encryption protocols that banks and other industries use to protect their data. Its code has been analysed by the world’s cryptographers for holes and exploits before it was approved.

Why Do I Need SecurSurf ?
When you connect normally to the Internet, your transactions are relayed through several servers before reaching their final destination. These servers have the ability to collect information as your requests are routed through them. The most common example of a server that can collect information about your Internet activity is your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Since your requests are not encrypted, any server between you and your final destination can "see" what you are doing.

Who is your ISP ?
No one knows more about your surfing and downloading habits that your ISP. Your Internet Service Providers can see every site you visit, every page you view, and every file you download. What’s worse, they know exactly who you are, and often keep logs for substantial periods of time.

How does SecurSurf Work?
You can use your SecurSurf account to encrypt the Internet activity between your computer and our servers. This prevents any server between you and us, such as your ISP, from monitoring your activities. Our Privacy-Tunneling accounts allow you to encrypt your incoming and outgoing email, surfing and news posts through a method known as port forwarding. This service can be used independently of or transparently in conjunction with SQUID-Proxies.
