What is a Proxy Server?

A proxy server is a machine that sits between your computer and the web server whose pages you are accessing. It holds an archive (called a 'cache') of the most popular recently accessed pages. These can then be served to your computer far more quickly than if they had been requested from the original web server.

Proxy systems are designed to speed up file requests, reduce international bandwidth requirements, and ease the load on web and FTP servers by only requesting updated or new files that they do not already have in store.

What is a VPN?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network in which some of the links between nodes are carried by open connections or virtual circuits in some larger networks (such as the Internet), as opposed to running across a single private network. The Link Layer protocols of the virtual network are said to be tunneled through the transport network. One common application is to secure communications through the public Internet, but a VPN does not need to have explicit security features such as authentication or content encryption. For example, VPNs can also be used to separate the traffic of different user communities over an underlying network with strong security features, or to provide access to a network via customized or private routing mechanisms.

Why would I want to use a Proxy or VPN?

In summary, the benefits you will notice are:

There are lots of free proxies and vpn's available, why would I want to subscribe?

The main features of our service are reliability, compatibility, support and privacy.

Reliability

Free proxies are very common but generally you will not know anything about the company that owns the proxy, nor what they might do with the information you submit to their server (see privacy below). Furthermore free proxy servers also tend to allow only a limited number of connections, which tend to make them an unreliable option.

Compatibility

The owners of free proxy and vpn servers tend to configure them with a diverse range of technical components and may well find your access to certain web sites and protocols is restricted.

Our servers have been configured specifically to work with several web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome. They also work with an array of operating systems including Windows 2000, Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X etc.

Support

We appreciate that not everyone has the technical knowledge to configure a proxy or vpn server on their computer and we also understand the time critical nature of the internet and its global importance.

We therefore offer 24 hour assistance via our support knowledge base and online ticketing system to all of our subscribers.

Privacy

Our aim is to provide you with all basic tools to secure your future internet experience. Many of today's web users are unaware that computers and the internet invade their privacy. Gathering information about computer users is a conscious decision of ISP’s, system/software developers and webmasters. By using cookie and spyware they are grabbing your e-mail address, personal information, IP address usage, browsing trends, usernames/passwords etc.

Do not forget that the privacy is your right and nobody has right to take that away from you. Our proxy service makes your web browsing experience private and takes the power away from your ISP. This is particularly important to British, Irish or American users when outside the UK, Ireland or USA; as the practices and policies of international ISP’s are largely unknown and inconsistent.
