GoTrusted Secure Tunnel - One-Click Simplicity to Encrypting any Unsecured Internet Connection, Such as Public WiFi Hotspots

    GoTrusted fills the need for privacy, security and availability to end-users who access the Internet by using a third-party's wireless 'hotspot' (such as airports and cafes) or wired connection (such as hotels). GoTrusted does this without encumbering the customer with the complexities of the back-end database, networking, authentication and encryption infrastructure. GoTrusted.com announces a new Internet security application for desktops and laptops. Named 'GoTrusted Secure Tunnel,' the new software brings the one-click simplicity to encrypting any unsecured Internet connection, such as public WiFi hotspots. In conjunction with the launch of the new software, GoTrusted.com has reduced its monthly subscription price from $9.99/month to $5.99/month for individual users, making the new service more affordable to the average user.

    David Lonardo, President, stated: "We've expanded on our popular online subscription service by providing a simple to use tray application that makes securing any connection quick and easy. Now a small icon in the corner of your desktop lets our customers enable and disable our industrial strength encryption with a single click and shows them their encryption status with a simple color change."

    He added: "The new proprietary technology we've developed increases encryption strength even further, supports more operating systems, secures more network types and reduced the cost per user internally. This allows us to pass the savings onto our customers with the subscription rate reduction to $5.99 while still providing them with very high-speed, high-encryption secure connections."

    In addition to being available for download on the GoTrusted.com site, GoTrusted Secure Tunnel software is also available for at CNET's Download.com site. A free 7-day trial subscription is available to new users.

    GoTrusted's service creates a protective shield around your laptop or desktop that prevents any users from attacking or scanning your system from the local network that you're using to connect to the Internet. It also encrypts all of your traffic destined for the Internet so that whether you're using wireless (hotspots in cafes, airports, hotels, libraries) or wired (company offices, hotels) connections, you'll always be assured that your traffic isn't being logged or scanned locally.

    This protection is especially important for wireless users. Web site addresses, instant messaging, personal information, plain text usernames and passwords and other important information can be broadcast in the clear when using publicly accessible wireless Internet connections. These broadcasts can be easily intercepted by other local users.
