Free public networks,
along with pay-for "private" networks, have made it easy to
get on line in virtually every city and town. Surf Bouncer
prevents the identity hacker from gaining access
to your data by guarding it at the source, acting as a
hotspot shield. We provide a high level of security for
these Wi-Fi areas such as coffee shops and other free public
or private hotspots. It can also be used when connected to
unknown networks such as those available at most hotels,
airports and cafes. Surf Bouncer creates what is
known as a personal VPN tunnel leading to a secure, external
server that protects your data (such as emails sent) from
unwanted access. It also is a valuable tool to prevent
hackers from gaining access into your computer and stealing
your identity.
Anyone watching you can see
whatever web sites you are visiting. They can follow you
from web site to web site. Most web email and even many
private email services are not encrypted. Therefore,
anyone who is watching can read your email, if your
password is not encrypted then they could even log in as
you and send email in your name. Instant messenger
software is not typically encrypted. If you chat on
instant messenger, your entire conversation can easily be
recorded. Since Surf Bouncer encrypts everything
creating a hotspot shield at the
source, which is your computer, this cannot happen while using
the service.
The owner of every network you are
on, be it a coffee shop, cyber cafe, a friend's house or anywhere
else, knows exactly every place you have surfed to and
can capture the same information someone hacking the
network can (as described above). Surf Bouncer keeps this
from happening. The owner of every web site you
visit knows your IP address and therefore can find out
who you are and where you are. Large companies keep
track of all of this information and can correlate your
IP address across multiple web sites to build a complete
profile of your surfing habits. By providing our IP
address to the web sites you visit Surf Bouncer personal
VPN prevents
the collection of this information.
Hackers can use your IP address to do a domain
name lookup. A domain name lookup is a trace of your IP
address that will reveal very personal information including
your internet service provider (ISP) and in some cases, your
street address and/or home phone number. The Surf Bouncer
hotspot VPN server acts as an IP mask so that
no matter where you connect from, hackers and other
predators cannot trace
your IP address back to where you live. Instead, they
will get the address of our server and not be able to
trace any further. Hackers
are thereby prevented from obtaining your IP address and stealing
your
personal information. Surf Bouncer believes
that your personal information belongs to you and
we will
never distribute your IP address to any one except law
enforcement, with proper documentation. |
