Anonymizer Universal\u2122 <\/h3>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h4>\n

The following five sections contain questions that will help users better understand Anonymizer Universal\u2122 and how the service works. Please scroll through the entire FAQ section for answers to our most frequently asked questions.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h5>\n
\n
How does Anonymizer Universal provide added protection?<\/h6>\n
\n

Anonymizer Universal forms a Virtual Private Network (VPN) around all your Internet traffic using L2TP and IPSec technologies. This creates a secure tunnel around all your online activities, thus preventing malicious parties from accessing your information. It also provides anonymity by changing and rotating your IP address on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is a Virtual Private Network or VPN?<\/h6>\n
\n

A VPN encrypts data you transmit to prevent information from being intercepted. Until recently, this type of security was only available for large corporations. Anonymizer has created a VPN for home users that is as secure as a corporate VPN, with the added anonymity Anonymizer is best known for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is L2TP?<\/h6>\n
\n

L2TP stands for Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol. L2TP forms the \u201cVirtual\u201d and \u201cNetwork\u201d part of the \u201cVirtual Private Network.\u201d The \u201cPrivate\u201d part is handled by another protocol that carries L2TP called IPSec.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is IPSec?<\/h6>\n
\n

IPSec is a protocol to add security to traffic as it travels across the Internet. This security takes two forms: authenticity (proof against tampering) and privacy (security against eavesdroppers). IPSec performs these functions on any protocol used on the Internet. IPSec has better performance than SSL, dramatically so in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is the difference between L2TP and PPTP?<\/h6>\n
\n

PPTP is a proprietary VPN protocol created by Microsoft that is widely believed to have deep security issues. L2TP is an open standard without such security issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Why do I need Anonymizer Universal?<\/h6>\n
\n

In today\u2019s fast-paced society, online communications and transactions can take place online from any location at any time. That being said, the level of privacy and security of your personal information whenever you are online is dependent on many things including the type of device you are using, the network you\u2019re on, the type of website, and your location.<\/p>\n

Anonymizer Universal enables you to have the same level of privacy and security you expect when you go online from your living room, anytime, anywhere. From email, to Instant Messaging, social networking, and shopping, your information remains completely secure as it travels the Internet. <\/p>\n
