How does StealthSurfer work?
The StealthSurfer is a key-sized internet security device that plugs directly and easily into your USB port. ALL files and cookies get cached on the removable USB device. When you leave your computer, simply take this keychain sized drive with you.
Why would I need to get a StealthSurfer?
CONVENIENCE, PORTABILITY, IDENTITY THEFT PROTECTION, SECURITY, and PRIVACY! This product is ideal for people searching for a new job and do not want their current employer to know, checking Web-based e-mail or anyone who does not want their visited web sites known. With StealthSurfer, you can take ALL your Web-based email and ALL your internet history with you from one place to the next and stay totally CLEAN.
Does the StealthSurfer device deal with proxies or ways to disguise your IP address or surfing identity?
YES! With integrated Anonymizer your IP address is hidden by IP masking (proxy masking); moreover, all web activity is SSL encrypted. StealthSurfer TOTALLY privatizes your browsing from others through its proprietary hardware and software combination.
What interfaces are supported by the StealthSurfer?
StealthSurfer uses a USB 1.1 or 2.0 interface. StealthSurfer is inserted directly into the USB port or can alternatively be connected to the computer through a USB cable with an A-Type plug and an A-type connector.
Is the StealthSurfer unit password protected for my total protection?
Yes, the USB unit comes with a password protection security feature that allows total privacy and security for our users.
What StealthSurfer memory sizes are available?
StealthSurfer is currently available in 256MB, 512MB, 1 GIGABYTE, 2 GIGABYTE and 4 GIGABYTE capacities. Larger capacities will be available in the future.
Can you modify the product so that it can be customized for companies who require large quantities of the StealthSurfer?
Yes, we can modify the bookmark and the startup homepage to make it unique for a given reseller. For example, a casino could choose to have their homepage automatically load upon startup and could feature bookmarks for their sites. In this way, the StealthSurfer can become a powerful value-added marketing and sales tool.
I hear that browsing through a device slows down the Internet connection. Is that true with the StealthSurfer?
Web surfing is affected by many factors: connection speed, processor speed, time-of-day, and etcetera. Because all files and cookies are cached on the secure and removable StealthSurfer mini-drive, instead of the hard drive, some users may see a slight delay (a fraction of a second); most however will surf no differently than they already do - except with the confidence that their surfing habits are 100% secure.
Is there anything else the StealthSurfer can be used for?
The product can also be used as a portable USB flash drive in place of floppy disks. This makes it ideal for shuttling large files easily between computers, or for instance, work files from the office to your home.
Why is the price a bit higher than ordinary flash drives?
The StealthSurfer is a combination of both hardware and advanced proprietary software. A typical flash drive is nothing more than a blank disk. The StealthSurfer however, offers the power and convenience of a portable drive with the added benefit of providing total privacy for your surfing. If you browse on a regular USB portable mini-drive, you will not be protected. StealthSurfer is designed to be a comprehensive internet security device.
Aren’t there software-only solutions that do the same thing?
Many of the software solutions currently on the market attempt to offer security by removing surfing evidence after-the-fact. The problem is that you risk not knowing if all the files have been truly removed and you must remember to run the clean-up software every time you log-off the Web – in other words, an active effort whereas the StealthSurfer is an automatic and passive security. All Web activity remains on your removable device and can be taken with you wherever you go
