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

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:16.953
in order to access the Internet securely.

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

00:00:23.792 --> 00:00:29.125
information from your computer to the GTunnel server farm and then out to the greater

00:00:29.125 --> 00:00:32.313
Internet. This means that Gtunnel is encrypting your web session and circumventing any

00:00:32.313 --> 00:00:36.911
filters that might prevent you from viewing content online in your area.

00:00:36.911 --> 00:00:40.333
Now that you know how it works, lets go get the software.

00:00:40.333 --> 00:00:51.331
Open up a web browser and go to www.gardennetworks.org.

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

00:00:54.583 --> 00:00:58.331
on click the “Download” link on the right.

00:00:58.331 --> 00:01:03.458
Now click the link that says “Click here” and save the file to your computer.

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.

00:01:10.125 --> 00:01:14.875
The program comes to you in a zip file. If your computer cannot automatically open these

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.

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

00:01:36.958 --> 00:01:40.545
and double click the GTunnel icon.

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

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

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

00:01:55.513 --> 00:01:59.484
use the program. Let me show you how that’s done.

00:01:59.484 --> 00:02:05.701
First, click on settings. Here you should see Options, Standard Mode, Skype Mode, Gtalk

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

00:02:11.625 --> 00:02:14.042
the options button.

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

00:02:18.625 --> 00:02:21.976
exit” for added security.

00:02:21.976 --> 00:02:24.718
Now click the “Transport” tab.

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

00:02:30.042 --> 00:02:38.093
account go to www.gmail.com and sign up for one now, I’ll wait.

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

00:02:42.658 --> 00:02:49.664
button that says “Test”.

00:02:49.664 --> 00:02:54.968
When it says “Test Succeeded” you’re ready to go on. Click the OK button.

00:02:54.968 --> 00:02:57.319
Click this OK button too.

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

00:03:02.988 --> 00:03:10.250
will go from Not Ready to Ready.

00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:14.926
Now click the Internet Explorer button and then select yes.

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

00:03:18.958 --> 00:03:29.293
browser and go to www.checkip.org.

00:03:29.293 --> 00:03:32.767
That number is my current IP address.

00:03:32.767 --> 00:03:38.540
Now go back to the Internet Explorer browser and go to www.checkip.org.

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

00:03:43.817 --> 00:03:45.750
simple fix.

00:03:45.750 --> 00:03:50.139
First go to tools, then internet options.

00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:52.725
Click the connections tab.

00:03:52.725 --> 00:03:56.147
Click on LAN settings.

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

00:04:05.917 --> 00:04:14.851
and after “Port” enter 8081 and click ok and then click ok again.

00:04:14.851 --> 00:04:16.810
Refresh the page.

00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:20.911
Great, the numbers changed, which means that we are now using an encrypted channel to

00:04:20.911 --> 00:04:32.274
access the Internet.

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

00:04:36.625 --> 00:04:41.626
Gtunnel icon. You can click this icon and access many of the different options that are

00:04:41.626 --> 00:04:49.019
available on the user interface.

00:04:49.019 --> 00:04:52.650
To exit the program, simply click exit.

00:04:52.650 --> 99:59:59.999
Now you know how to use GTunnel.
