New! Free Proxy – and a little bit make up on the CyberGhost website

Posted by CyberGhost VPN - Admin in Common

A little bit make up, a lot under the hood: CyberGhost got a slightly changed new starting page and its first free proxy service for a fast anonymous sprint inside the Internet.

Make up: Changed starting page

Obvious things first: We have changed the layout of our web starting page a little bit to provide new users with the most important facts about CyberGhost at first glance. Ok, this might not be very interesting for all of you, but the changes also include a module, which shows you our recent special subscription offers. So, come by often and see, if one of them will fit your needs.

Furthermore we listened to your comments and changed the way, our Social Media Plug-ins for Facebook and Twitter will work. To prevent a user from accidentally compromising his privacy when visiting us, one needs to explicitly activate a plug-in, before using it.

For you being more informed about what’s going on inside CyberGhost and the Internet in general we’re also providing a newsletter, containing internal news as well as news about security topics, special offers and many tips and hints for an easier life online. You can subscribe to our newsletter by using the new fast sign up module.

Under the hood: New free web proxy (beta)

Completely new is our open ‘Free Proxy’ service, providing any browser with an anonymous way to surf the Internet without the need of installing a third party software. In favor of an even better security online, all active contents like JavaScript, ActiveX, and Flash, which might be able to compromise your anonymity, can be filtered.

Our best loved tricky little feature: On some video platforms like YouTube, our proxy exchanges the player used with our own video player. That way an anonymous access is granted, and plans are, to broaden this support for much more video platforms …

Please note, we can’t guarantee, that ALL pages on the Internet will be accessible worry free, while using the Free Proxy, like pages based completely on JavaScript for example. Furthermore the service still is in its BETA stage. Temporal downfalls might emerge from time to time as well as technical changes.

The Free Proxy is not intended to be a substitute for CyberGhost VPN, but can be very helpful for an anonymous Internet trip ‘on the fly’, for a quick change of your log-in country or for simulating a different browser, e.g. for gaining access to pages, that are restricted to devices like iPad, iPhone and others.

Of course you will find many more ways to use the proxy – and we are eager to hear about all of them. For this purpose we will set up a special ‘proxy corner’ on our board. Here you can discuss all matters regarding the free proxy and even provide us with addresses, you have problems to access.
