PRESS RELEASE FROM THE UFO RESOURCE CENTER
SEATTLE, WA JANUARY 23, 2002. IN an unprecedented move, the UFO
Resource Center and Lockdown Corporation have teamed up to bring you
the latest software technology to protect your privacy while on-line
at prices you can afford!
Any web site in the world can track your movements through its web
pages and monitor your reading interests using your IP address which
is a unique ID assigned to each computer on the Internet, just like
your telephone number. Your visit can also be logged and used to
gather in depth personal information about you. It is widely known
that governments and official agencies publish websites on
controversial topics for the sole purpose of monitoring and
information gathering of interested parties. The information gathered
along with your e-mail address, can be used to increase the number of
advertisements targeted at you by Internet marketing companies.
Using only your IP address and the information gathered about your
operating system, a Web site can exploit security holes in your
system using some common free hacking programs. Some of these
programs may delete your hard drive, but other, more powerful ones,
can get access to the content of your hard drive or install Trojan
programs. Our anonymous proxy server prevents this by hiding your IP
address so that no one can access your computer via the network. In
most cases, however, proxies do inform the target server about the
address of the computer that made the request, transmitting your IP
address in different forms.
An anonymous (real anonymous!) proxy server such as ours does not
transfer the information about the IP address of the client, and thus
completely hides the information about you and your surfing
interests. Our anonymous proxy service can be used for all kinds of
Web services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hotmail, Yahoo mail), web-chat
rooms, FTP archives, etc. You can get a more complete list of
programs that can be used through our proxy service here.
