If any one would like to access these services anywhere in the world please contact myself.



we use a proxy server in the UK so that all your browsing is done with English IP addresses ultimatly you might aswell be in the UK.



Access all your favourite TV shows and stop websites being censored by the goverments.



We can offer this at £20 a year per computer as a server is reqired in the UK and is left on 24/7 for your browsing.



If you have any comments or suggestions we are more than happy to hear.



Kind Regards



Scott Nolan

i Had a look at Expat Shield and a malicious url came up when installing however im sure this is no big issue.



My only concern is while it allows you access and hides your privacy from external entites it actually seems to connect using a VPN ( Virtual Private Network ) this is essentially the same as hooking up thousands of pc's on a hub imagine one hacker listening to all the date on the VPN stealing credit card numbers and usernames and passwords!



Upon the installation it had added network adapters for VPN.



Im sure this is safe however there are a few concerns using this system!



The systems are normally used for buisnnes where by externall sales staff or satalite locations can connect to the network making as one large network instead of multiple networks.



Hamachi is a free VPN software for that purpose



From what ive seen using Expat you will connect to a VPN.

My suggestion would be using a proxy server.



This basically fetches all the data and forwards the data on regardless of your IP.

So you would get 1 to 1 with no other pcs listening in to your private data.



All that is requires is you change the proxy setting in IE or Opera Firefox etc to gain access and a username and password setup.



So no installation, complete 1 to 1 data privacy and to be honest it somthing i would do as a free service if people donated to keep the server running and cover maintanece and electricty bills.



!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!



avoid published proxy lists as they can be spammers and attack your computer or give you multiple popups with allsorts of weird and wacky things not for childrens eyes.



Allso using web browser proxy systems will often not allow you to use shockwave or flash divx etc needed to watch these channels.

We are another option over Expat

But Expat works well, just has some concerns that it hijacks your browser to offer ads etc

dreamer. How do we know you are to be trusted? You keep going on about hackers, but you offer no assurance of your validity.

Trust is hard especially online but we trade as swissnet a ltd company and i am down as the director so we are very transparent we also have a contact number and email so you can speak to people.



I must add that im not against expat shield or making out they are doing anything malicious but i have found that it stops malware bytes from connecting to its database online so i wonder how many other security products fail to connect to their relevant servers.



A list of low system resources software below for those needing lock down security but free



AVG anti virus

Avast ( Prefered ) this allows you to do full virus removal at startup for those virus lurking in recyclebins etc



Online Armour . Great for seeing all connections you have going in and out of your pc you can see the country the ip and the domain or website its linked too.



Malware Bytes. The best in malware removal



All of these programmes are free our have free options.

Norton for example is so heavy on system resources it will tend to slow down your computer to half the speed and will give you all sorts of networking issues if you remove it you have to download a special tool from norton to do so.



The great idea of proxy browsing is you can turn it on and off easily similar to expat shield but its not an installed programme its purely a setting so no hidden programs if you whant to do online banking deselect proxy surfing and away you go so for onine banking and regualr web usage there is no need to use proxy browsing youd only use it for viewing online content restricted by IP address ranges outside of the UK.



My concern is hidden services running on your PC so the suggested online armour would be great to check on Expat Shield and exactly what its doing and when taht goes for any exsiting viruses or programmes you have and very easy to allow or block specific communications.
