Question Posted Thursday November 20 2008, 1:53 pm
ok here i go well i am using application its called freegate and i use it at school to do things on the internet and well ok i believe the program encrypts every site but not sure but any way if my school does a land line scan on all the sites i have been to will those sites show up while i was using the application hope you can help
"Is it safe to use Freegate to surf the Internet, and will the surveillance systems be able to detect me?
Yes, it is safe to use Freegate to surf the Internet. All Internet communications are encrypted. Local surveillance systems cannot detect what you are doing."
... If that is 100% accurate, I couldn't say, but I can think of one thing which hasn't been addressed: The use of key-loggers. No matter how cool Freegate might be, if your school has a key-logger on every machine, then they could see what you typed in to get where you were going.
Other than that, freegate looks fairly good in light of the purpose for which it was intended.
Any further questions will probably be better asked on the Freegate help and support forums.
Look for the "Forum" link at the top of the FAQ page I linked you to. I would put the link in here, but it appears to change regularly and might have changed by the time you got this. [ DangerNerd's advice column | Ask DangerNerd A Question ]
