We present our new Swisscows service: Secure web surfing The first option from the Swisscows product line is currently available: Swisscows VPN-extension for Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, allows web surfing via the Swisscows proxy server. How does a Swisscows proxy server work and what does this mean for users? A proxy server works like a firewall located between the end user and the website visited. The search query from the user arrives at the proxy server, the proxy server sends the search query from the user to the desired website, then receives the information and sends it to the user. This means that the user remains undetected for the website operator, i.e. anonymous. In this way, all monitoring mechanisms are eliminated, because a proxy server serves as a protective wall that does not allow the sensitive user data to be filtered out. The use of the Swisscows.VPN extension makes the entire process quick and transparent. That is not all!? Swisscows is working on a global expansion of secure Internet access services (VPN). VPN tools for new browsers, platforms and operating systems will be available soon...
