Hello and welcome to another 12pm Tutorial. This tutorial will teach you how to use Gtunnel

2
00:00:14,250 --> 00:00:16,953
in order to access the Internet securely.

3
00:00:16,953 --> 00:00:23,792
Gtunnel is a program that creates a local HTTP or SOCKS proxy and uses that proxy to send

4
00:00:23,792 --> 00:00:29,125
information from your computer to the GTunnel server farm and then out to the greater

5
00:00:29,125 --> 00:00:32,313
Internet. This means that Gtunnel is encrypting your web session and circumventing any

6
00:00:32,313 --> 00:00:36,911
filters that might prevent you from viewing content online in your area.

7
00:00:36,911 --> 00:00:40,333
Now that you know how it works, lets go get the software.

8
00:00:40,333 --> 00:00:51,331
Open up a web browser and go to www.gardennetworks.org.

9
00:00:51,331 --> 00:00:54,583
Feel free to take a look around the Garden Networks page and when you are ready to move

10
00:00:54,583 --> 00:00:58,331
on click the “Download” link on the right.

11
00:00:58,331 --> 00:01:03,458
Now click the link that says “Click here” and save the file to your computer.

12
00:01:03,458 --> 00:01:10,125
Once the file finishes downloading close out these windows and go to where you saved the file.

13
00:01:10,125 --> 00:01:14,875
The program comes to you in a zip file. If your computer cannot automatically open these

14
00:01:14,875 --> 00:01:31,750
files you will need a program like winzip or 7zip to open it. Go ahead and extract the files.

15
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:36,958
Inside the folder you will see three files, this is all you need to run the program. Go ahead

16
00:01:36,958 --> 00:01:40,545
and double click the GTunnel icon.

17
00:01:40,545 --> 00:01:45,535
This is the Gtunnel user interface. You can see that it is currently in Standard Mode and that

18
00:01:45,535 --> 00:01:51,500
it says it is not ready. The creators of Gtunnel have decided not to offer the standard mode

19
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:55,513
for people outside of China, but that’s ok, because they have built in other ways for people to

20
00:01:55,513 --> 00:01:59,484
use the program. Let me show you how that’s done.

21
00:01:59,484 --> 00:02:05,701
First, click on settings. Here you should see Options, Standard Mode, Skype Mode, Gtalk

22
00:02:05,701 --> 00:02:11,625
Mode, and Tor Mode. We’re going to use Gtalk mode but we have to set it up first. Click

23
00:02:11,625 --> 00:02:14,042
the options button.

24
00:02:14,042 --> 00:02:18,625
Under the settings tab I’m going to check the box marked “Clear Internet Explorer cache on

25
00:02:18,625 --> 00:02:21,976
exit” for added security.

26
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:24,718
Now click the “Transport” tab.

27
00:02:24,718 --> 00:02:30,042
Here you should see two boxes labeled “Gmail” and “Password”. If you don’t have a gmail

28
00:02:30,042 --> 00:02:38,093
account go to www.gmail.com and sign up for one now, I’ll wait.

29
00:02:38,093 --> 00:02:42,658
Now that you have a gmail account enter your username and password here and then click the

30
00:02:42,658 --> 00:02:49,664
button that says “Test”.

31
00:02:49,664 --> 00:02:54,968
When it says “Test Succeeded” you’re ready to go on. Click the OK button.

32
00:02:54,968 --> 00:02:57,319
Click this OK button too.

33
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:02,988
Now click the settings button again and select Gtalk mode. In a moment your’s Trans State

34
00:03:02,988 --> 00:03:10,250
will go from Not Ready to Ready.

35
00:03:10,250 --> 00:03:14,926
Now click the Internet Explorer button and then select yes.

36
00:03:14,926 --> 00:03:18,958
Before we do anything we should run a test. I’m going to open up an unencrypted web

37
00:03:18,958 --> 00:03:29,293
browser and go to www.checkip.org.

38
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:32,767
That number is my current IP address.

39
00:03:32,767 --> 00:03:38,540
Now go back to the Internet Explorer browser and go to www.checkip.org.

40
00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:43,817
Hmm, that’s not good, the number hasn’t changed. If this happens to you there is a very

41
00:03:43,817 --> 00:03:45,750
simple fix.

42
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:50,139
First go to tools, then internet options.

43
00:03:50,139 --> 00:03:52,725
Click the connections tab.

44
00:03:52,725 --> 00:03:56,147
Click on LAN settings.

45
00:03:56,147 --> 00:04:05,917
Check the “Use a proxy server for your LAN” box and then after “Address” enter 127.0.0.1

46
00:04:05,917 --> 00:04:14,851
and after “Port” enter 8081 and click ok and then click ok again.

47
00:04:14,851 --> 00:04:16,810
Refresh the page.

48
00:04:16,810 --> 00:04:20,911
Great, the numbers changed, which means that we are now using an encrypted channel to

49
00:04:20,911 --> 00:04:32,274
access the Internet.

50
00:04:32,274 --> 00:04:36,625
In the lower right hand corner of your screen there should be a small, green version of the

51
00:04:36,625 --> 00:04:41,626
Gtunnel icon. You can click this icon and access many of the different options that are

52
00:04:41,626 --> 00:04:49,019
available on the user interface.

53
00:04:49,019 --> 00:04:52,650
To exit the program, simply click exit.

54
00:04:52,650 --> 99:59:59,999
Now you know how to use GTunnel.
