'ProxyFireWall'+'Your-Freedom'+'OpenVPN'

Are you concerned about anonymity, privacy, protection, security, VPN (Virtual Private Network) and such things?. Then you'll find interesting to read how ProxyFirewall, Your-Freedom and OpenVPN works toghether.

An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is similar to your home telephone number: telephone number identifies your telephone's physical location and your IP address identifies your computer's physical location.

Every machine connected to the Internet has a unique IP address that allows incoming and outgoing traffic information. Unfortunately, most of hacking attacks uses the victim’s IP address to monitor personal business, use personal information in identity theft, spread viruses, and other tenebrous purposes .

If your IP address isn’t hidden, virtually anyone with Internet access can track you directly to your home. Everyone can see this information (including, but not limited to, freaks, weirdos, internet crazies, software engineers, nutjobs, probable nutjobs, likely nutjobs, really likely nutjobs, really really likely nutjobs, CAPS-LOCK-LOVERS, the Police, the FBI, the CIA, and your mom). Keep that in mind.

About ProxyFireWall:

Proxy Firewall is an automatic proxy selector that will simply and easily manage proxy connections for you. Proxy Firewall does all of the work. When using Proxy Firewall there is no need for you to configure your Internet programs to use a proxy, just answer Proxy Firewall's questions when asked.

Virtually all Internet programs work when using Proxy Firewall.

About Your-Freedom:

Are you trapped behind a firewall or a filtering web proxy and cannot access some or many web pages or use an application you would like to use or play a game you would like to play?. Is your Internet connection being censored and you would like to stick censorship where the sun doesn't shine? Would you prefer to stay anonymous, that your IP address is not logged with every access to someone's web page?Then look no further, you've found the solution!

The Your-Freedom services makes accessible what is unaccessible to you, and it hides your network address from those who don't need to know. Just download Your-Freedom client application and install or just run it on your PC; it turns your own PC into an uncensored, anonymous web proxy and an uncensored, anonymous SOCKS proxy that your applications can use, and if that's not enough it can even get you connected to the Internet just as if you were using an unrestricted DSL or cable connection -- just like the firewall suddenly went boom! You can even make your PC accessible from the Internet if you like. Nearly all applications work with Your Freedom, and so far no-one has managed to block our service completely and permanently without blocking your Internet access entirely.
