Why do you need Steganos Secure VPN

HotSpots and other WLANs represent an ideal solution for business travelers and sales representatives. An increasing number of airports and train stations provide wireless access to the Internet. And even Internet cafs are trying more and more to avoid the inconvenience of cable spaghetti.

But only few users are aware of the fact that both the HotSpot provider and hackers can eavesdrop all their activities on the Web if they have the appropriate software.

To be more precise Once a user logs into his company's LAN through the Internet, the access data can immediately be copied. Not only does this mean that confidential information can be spied on without any problem, but that data can be manipulated and even be deleted if that user has the necessary authorization.

Moreover, emails can be read including their attachments that might contain confidential business reports, analyses, or business plans. Because the potential danger caused by using a HotSpot is still underestimated by most private and professional users the consequences can be dramatical.

How does Steganos Secure VPN work

A virtual private network VPN establishes a tunnel between a user's computer and one of the Steganos VPN servers. All activities on the Internet are then carried out through that tunnel. The tunnel encrypts all information that runs through it by using an SSL connection which protects the information from being eavesdropped even by your ISP. SSL connections are, for instance, also used for online banking activities. The tunnel leads to one of the Steganos servers which, in turn, forwards the request onto the Web. This way you can stay completely anonymous while surfing through the Web The Web sites you visit will only see the IP addresses of the Steganos servers.

All you need to do is install the Steganos Secure VPN service on your machine. A setup wizard assists you in establishing the connection to the server and activating the user account. Once your access has been activated, the main window displays the amount of GB you used within the current month, which gives you 100 control of the costs. If several users share a secure VPN account, they also share the total traffic volume. This way each user always has an overview of the remaining volume available and can thus act accordingly.

Features   
 
Shared traffic consumption
