Voila

Protect yourself from someone looking over your shoulder
Here's a great application that fits in perfectly with the theme of this page. It's called Ghostzilla; http://www.ghostzilla.com/ . The idea is that you want to surf the web, but have it look like you are doing normal work to people walking by your computer. Ghostzilla is a browser that hides itself in your normal work applications, like Excel, or Word, or Visual Studio... anything. With a swish of the mouse, Ghostzilla pops up and you can surf the web. If you see someone coming, simply move the mouse away, and it disappears, leaving no trace. Plus, you can easily configure it to use the shunnel as described here, for total privacy!

A Simpler Solution
Buzzsurf has teamed up with HTTP-Tunnel Corp to encourage users to try the HTTP-Tunnel Client as a simplier alterntive to the procedure described here. Using HTTP-Tunnel , you don't need a computer at home to leave turned on all day. And you don't need to know how to install SSH or Putty. All the network communication is encrypted and sent over standard webserver ports, just like I describe, so it offers just as much protection without the hassle. Try it for free at HTTP-Tunnel.com
