- What is Surfing Tunnel?
Surfing Tunnel is a personal proxy for anonymous surfing on internet. It can establish an encrypted connection with distributed network. Accessing internet through this connecton, you will be anonymous and secure, your real public IP address is hidden, and you may access the websites that blocked by your ISP or company.
- How does it work?
First, it will establish an encrypted connection with distributed network, then you change the browser's proxy to "127.0.0.1:6006". When you surfing with this browser, you will be anonymous, that's all !
- What can I do with it?
Protect your personal information(privacy) away from tracking.
Access any website including that blocked by your ISP or company.
Stop search engines from profiling your Internet surfing.
Hide the location (i.e. Mask your real IP addrees) of where you are surfing from. - What is its system requirement?
Surfing Tunnel is a very small software (less than 5MB). It is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7.
- Can I use it inside a company behind firewall?
Yes, it is no problem. Only requirement is you can access Internet, i.e. you can visit website in browser. Surfing Tunnel supports parent proxy authentication, even if you are in a domain. You just need to configure parent proxy parameter in Surfing Tunnel.
- Is Surfing Tunnel secure?
Surfing Tunnel is based on Tor technology. Tor is a famous distributed anonymity network.
Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network).
So, it is very secure, your Internet data is encrypted and transported in distributed nodes. It is impossible to track your information. Surfing Tunnel makes use of Tor network and plus useful features, make anonymous surfing become more easy and convenient. - Why status always be "processing", can not establish?
First, make sure you can access Internet normally. Second, make sure proxy setting is correct in Surfing Tunnel. Normally, it will establish connection successfully in a few minutes. Usually, it take a long time for first connecting, then it saves the caches, so, it will establish connection much more quickly in future. If it is too long (more than 5 minutes), status will be time out, then, please try to start connecting again.
- How to know my ip address is hidden?
Some websites, when you visit them, they will show your public ip address and related information, such as http://whatismyipaddress.com/ or http://www.ip-details.com/. You can check your ip address before running Surfing Tunnel or after. You will find out the two addresses are different. In fact, when running Surfing Tunnel, your ip address will change periodically (about 5-10 minutes).
- Why not include all countries in "Candicate countries"?
Yes, it is small part of all countries. Basically, they are developed countries.Our distributed servers deployed all the world, but resource allocation is different in each country. In developed countries, resource is rich, so the connecting can be assured fast and successful. Other countries, connecting may be faild or very slow, so, we not list all of countries. In fact, if you choose "Random", it most possible that your public IP address belongs to these countris, the probability to other countries is low.
- Can I use this proxy for other Internet application, such as MSN Messenger?
Yes, it is no problem. If the application supports proxy setting, it is OK.
- Any shortcoming when using Surfing Tunnel?
Only shortcoming is surfing speed. Because your data is encrypted and transported in distributed nodes. Certainly your surfing speed is slower than normal. So, surfing tunnel is not suitable for big-bandwidth application, such as BitTorrent. When you think security is more important than speed on Internet, you should use Surfing Tunnel.
