Web Browsing

 My friend and I were discussing how you would be able to securely browse the web from an offshore location the other day. Yes ok, I admit it's a pretty bizarre and geeky conversation but it emanated from something that we both dislike and that's censorship. You see Governments around the world are increasingly doing two things about the internet-





Monitoring and insisting our web surfing, emails are logged

Controlling and restricting the parts of the web that we can visit

It's no joke and to someone who gets extremely annoyed when his posts are moderated in a forum you can imagine how worked up I get about this sort of stuff. The discussion about secure offshore web browsing was in particular related to my discovery that if you surfed the internet from Turkey - a liberal secular country that there were actually web sites that you couldn't visit because of religion.


Anyway I probably should explain the technical basics behind these blocks - it's all to do with your IP address. It is pretty much your identity online and can be traced back to your computer via your ISP. In fact your rough location can be deduced automatically from your IP address and it is how a UK citizen would be blocked from using the Pandora Radio web site and how Americans are blocked from using European Online Casinos. Try either and you'll get blocked if you're in the wrong place.


So how can I hide my location


There is a simple way to appear to a web site that you are actually surfing from a different location and that's to use an anonymous proxy server. All this does is funnel your web requests through a different location - you'll appear to the web site to be surfing from the country of the proxy server. Better still your real IP address will not be logged on the web site you visit.


So this is how I can surf securely?


Alas not - proxy servers mask your identity from the web server you visit but everything else is plainly visible, your ISP will log every web page that gets delivered to your computer and all the logs will contain all your history for years.


To surf securely you need to do more - you need a fast, privately owned proxy server that is configured to be totally anonymous, you need the facility to automatically switch to alternate countries proxies when needed and most of all you need your entire web traffic to be encrypted with a military level cipher. This means your connection cannot be traced back from the target web server and all the communication is completely protected from hackers, nosey governments and identity thieves.


It also means that you can surf to the rules and regulations of your selected proxy servers location. If you want to learn the secret to secure offshore web browsing then you need to read my link below.

Technology

 Technology, that's what got us all into this mess isn't it? The internal combustion engine, jet propulsion, mechanized farming, power stations , pesticides, industrial pollution; the list goes on, and on. And now we're due to pay the price with both global warming and oil depletion looming as a result of squandering the earth's resources to feed our addiction to technology . Surely, since technology is so clearly to blame, we should strive to roll back the tide and oppose further so-called technological progress? Do I hear any takers for this proposition? A return to a golden age , lit by candles at night and warmed by the crackle of logs in countless hearths; a renaissance of home grown crops, chickens in the yard and beating your clothes on a rock down by the river just like you see in the movies? Oh I'm sure there are some diehard romantics who buy into the self sufficiency fantasy, but the really inconvenient truth is that if we all set about burning logs to...

Registery Smart

 You won't know a good thing until you actually use it. Registery Smart is a product I would recommend anytime of the day or night. You see I am a businessman that works mainly on the computer and internet. O because of that I simply can't afford to have my computer down for very long. However that is kind of a catch 22 situation because of the fact that I do use it on the internet so much I end up getting a lot of unwanted garbage and errors that tends to slow down my computer. Until I found Registery Smart I had to usually give up my computer for at least a week to send it in and get it fixed. This was a huge inconvenience for me because I usually had to rent a laptop for that week and not to mention not have access to many of my files that were on my computer. One day a friend of mine who technically is a techie told me what most of these repair places do. I was actually outraged when he told me that I could do exactly what they do for less than 10 percent of what they ...
