PrivacyTunnel VPN Services: Masks your computers IP address with an encrypted virtual tunnel

Privacy Tunnel

In addition to using Privacy Tunnel , below are some tools and recommendations to help protect your identity and security on the internet.

For more maximum security, turn off Java (not javascript) in your web browser. Java applets can be used to circumvent secure proxy connections (like Privacy Tunnel) and distribute your personal information to third parties.
If any company sends you an unsolicited e-mail with a link asking to verify or update personal information (credit card, passwords, social security number, etc.). Do not use the any link in the e-mail. Instead manually go to the website. In many cases these are phishing scams that lure people to "clone websites" and steal your personal information.
Do not use personal information for passwords (like your birthday or children's names). They can be easily guessed.
Use a wide variety of different passwords that are alpha-numeric and have 10 or more characters (ie. 12T76HS8k4 ).
When deleting any sensative information from your computer, always use a third party deletion program like Evidence Eliminator to ensure that the data is not recoverable. These programs write over data many times to ensure that once it is deleted, it cannot be recovered.
If you are a broadband "always on" internet user, always run a dedicated firewall program like ZoneAlarm to prevent unauthorized access to your computer.
