etteGo VPN Manager

The Internet's main drawback is the fact that your computer can be tracked by its IP address. Whenever you visit a website, your IP will be logged. Besides having an impact on your privacy, this is how a service determines if you can or can not access certain contents. With etteGo VPN Manager, you can mask your real IP address, by rerouting your traffic through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). As a result, websites will log a different address, instead of your own and you will be able to bypass regional restrictions.

Installing etteGo VPN Manager takes less than a minute. The setup package is about 9.30 MB and the installation process involves only a few basic settings. The application works on Windows XP, Vista and Win 7 and it is available for Mac OS X platforms as well. There is no need to install any additional tools or drives, but you have to create an online account.

Convenience and ease of use are the application's main features. It provides a compact user interface, with only a few options, for connecting to various VPN servers. Once you create an online account, you can use your credentials to log into etteGo VPN Manager's desktop interface. The application displays your current IP address and it lets you know if your are browsing the web anonymously or not.

All you have to do is select a country in a drop menu and click a button to connect to a VPN from that country. As previously mentioned, connecting to a VPN will change your IP address. Thus, web services or hackers will see you as if you were from a different country. The application uses a 128-bit encryption protocol, as well as an advanced authentication system, to safeguard your data transfers. Furthermore, transfers will be made using a L2TP protocol, protected by IPSec.

You can disconnect from your currently used VPN and choose another country at any time. While connected to a VPN, the application will display a few statistics, like the connection time, the upload and download speeds, as well as your accumulated traffic.
