Welcome to yet another 12pm Tutorial.
-
This tutorial will teach you how to use Freegate, an anti-censorship tool produced
-
by Dynamic Internet Technology.
-
Freegate is a standalone piece of software that connects you to the Internet through
-
Dynaweb, which uses a system of Peer to Peer proxy connections in order to grant users
-
access to information that has been blocked in their area.
-
12pm Tutorials has another video tutorial that focuses on Dynaweb that you can
-
check out at http://bit.ly/bhkWTP.
-
Freegate is a simple piece of software that simply needs to be downloaded and run
-
in order to function. Put Freegate on a USB flash drive and you can take it with you
-
and use it at any computer.
-
Now that you know what Freegate is, let me show you how to use it.
-
First we need to download Freegate, so open up your web browser
-
and go to www.dit-inc.us.
-
If this is your first time on the DIT website go ahead and take a look around before
-
we continue.
-
Once you're done looking around, click on the "Our Products" link on the left hand
-
side of the screen.
-
Now click on the "Freegate Link".
-
Go ahead and read the information if you would like and then click "Download the
-
latest Freegate client software".
-
This page will give you some different download options.
-
Click on "Download Professional Edition" and save it to your computer.
-
Once the file finishes downloading close your browser and go find your file.
-
Go ahead and double click the icon now.
-
What you see here is the user interface.
-
The tabs here will present you with different information and options.
-
The one you might want to look at first is settings.
-
I'm going to leave all of these like they are, but feel free to set anything as you see fit.
-
As a side note, you can go to the settings tab and set the Freegate browser to close
-
automatically when you close the program.
-
You can also set Freegate to automatically delete your browsing history when you close
-
the program.
-
I suggest using these two features for extra security.
-
Now that we're connected I'm going to go to the Internet Explorer browser that Freegate
-
opened for me.
-
This browser can be used safely to access websites and information that may be
-
blocked where you are accessing the Internet from.
-
In order to exit the Freegate program, click on the X or click "Exit".
-
Freegate should ask if you want to keep the Internet Explorer windows open or if
-
you want to close them.
-
I'm going to close them.
-
Now you know how to use Freegate.
