More and more companies are watching, censoring, restricting and recording your Internet activity at the office. Eventually, some of your online activities could come back to haunt you, even if they're perfectly innocent.

What can you do? BadBlue's OfficeSurfer features help protect your privacy when you're using the Internet outside your home, bypassing corporate restrictions on specific web sites, defeating most monitoring software, preventing censorship and routine logging of online activities.

If you need to check personal email accounts, visit your favorite web sites, check a bank or brokerage account balance -- without worrying about restrictions or logging -- OfficeSurfer may be the answer.

How does OfficeSurfer work?

Install any version of BadBlue (including the free download) on your PC. When you're at work, just use your browser and surf to your home PC running BadBlue. Click on the OfficeSurfer picture. Enter the URL you want to browse... nothing to install on your external PC... no restrictions... no monitoring... just surfing where you want, when you want.

BadBlue's OfficeSurfer does the surfing for you, delivering web pages from your home PC as if it were the only site you were visiting. You're free to browse any site your home PC can reach, including personal email, news, entertainment, etc.

Traditional security products can't deal with OfficeSurfer because they can't examine all of the content being delivered to your office PC. They usually rely upon simple URL (address) filtering to watch and restrict your activity. OfficeSurfer bypasses those filters, operating "under the radar" and keeping your trail from prying eyes.

What kind of restrictions will OfficeSurfer bypass?

OfficeSurfer can bypass restrictions on specific site addresses (e.g., web-mail accounts); on secure traffic (e.g., using a bank or investment web site over SSL); on web traffic over certain ports (if you run BadBlue on port 80); and related corporate web filters.

BadBlue will also prevent basic monitoring of the sites you've visited and won't raise alarms on traditional filtering software.

What are my responsibilities?

It's up to you to use OfficeSurfer responsibly. We recommend that you use it on your own time (such as a lunch break) and for sites that do not violate company policy. For instance, if you're a researcher and need unfettered access to the Internet to do your job, this may be a solution for you. Or if you're receiving work-related email at a personal web-mail account, OfficeSurfer might be able to help. Remember: you're solely responsible for your activities and you should read and understand the BadBlue End User License Agreement (EULA) if you have questions about liabilities, responsibilities, etc.

How do I start OfficeSurfer?
