Private Surfing Extension

Private surfing is a tool that helps you making your internet browsing more secure.

When you enter a website address into the input field, you connect to the site through one of our remote proxy servers. Your browsing then becomes fully anonymous: the sites you visit will not see your actual IP address and you will appear to be accessing the internet from a new location.

If your connection is censored and you cannot open certain sites, a web proxy will bypass the block and restore unrestricted access to your connection. Some content on popular video sites may not be available to watch in your country.

With a web proxy you can reroute your internet connection to a place in the world where the content is available.

Remember to adjust options for optimal performance.
