Spotflux

Spotflux is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) software program that encrypts your Internet connection so you can surf the Internet safely and anonymously.

Spotflux is easy to install and can be used anywhere you can connect to the Internet. A VPN establishes a secure link between your computer and a remote server, which connects to the Internet for you. The encrypted connection offers two main benefits: anonymity and safety from hackers.

When you surf the Internet, websites will not see your actual location. Instead, they will see the location of the remote server you are using to tunnel your traffic. With so many websites and corporations keeping track of your location, surfing behavior and personal information, this added layer of protection can help your personal life stay private.

Open Wi-Fi networks, such as cafes, restaurants, hotels and airports, are prime targets for hackers who can monitor traffic and steal data that is not transmitted securely. With Spotflux installed, your traffic will appear as a meaningless stream of encrypted data. Everything you do online will be protected, including email, chat, web surfing and downloading.

One major advantage to Spotflux is that the free version has no bandwidth limitations, so you have unlimited access. Even some paid programs put limits on your monthly traffic. While the free edition of this program protects your computer from malicious websites, there are a few advantages you will miss out on.

The downsides are that it is supported by ads, you do not receive malware protection and your speed slows down while surfing, since everything you do is relayed through a server. There are a few perks you could receive from the premium version, but since Spotflux is a completely free VPN package that protects your identity and your web traffic from intrusive snooping, you can enjoy anonymous and safe surfing without paying a dime.
