Free Downloadable Virtual Private Network (VPN) Allows for Unfettered Internet Access During the Olympic Games and Beyond
What: AnchorFree's Hotspot Shield is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that
can be downloaded to make Internet connections 100% private and
secure. The free service allows travelers to view information
online in the same way they would outside of China.
Where: At the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government has blocked
foreign journalists' access to certain Internet sites. The
International Olympic Committee once said foreign press would not
face any Internet curbs in Beijing -- and now hoards of people will
be searching for unlimited Internet access during the games.
When: The Olympic Games in Beijing will run from August 8th through
August 24th. Hotspot Shield allows foreign travelers to securely
access the Internet during the ceremonies and beyond.
How: To download Hotspot Shield, go to the AnchorFree Hotspot Shield
homepage: http://www.anchorfree.com/downloads/hotspot-shield. The
program is free and will install automatically. Hotspot Shield
currently runs on Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X
(10.5 Leopard) and Mac OS X (10.4 Tiger).
