This software allows you to access Newsgroups, FTP, IRC, ICQ and Email (POP/IMAP) despite firewall restrictions, while keeping your connections anonymous to hide your IP address.
One of the most valuable features of AntiFirewall is the ability to anonymize your connections to Newsgroups, FTP, IRC, ICQ, and Email. This increases your online safety by hiding your true IP address from destination computers. Instead, your IP address is replaced by another address that cannot be traced back to your computer or organization. Even if you have no firewall to break free from, you can still use AntiFirewall as an effective anonymizer.
FTP is another service that AntiFirewall supports. You can download and upload files via FTP with standard software such as CuteFTP, even if FTP access is blocked by your firewall. Your FTP connection will be anonymous, and your IP address will be hidden from the FTP server. AntiFirewall supports both password-protected FTP servers and anonymous FTP sites, and it can work with any standard FTP client program.
In addition to FTP, AntiFirewall supports IRC, allowing you to chat with your friends using standard IRC software such as mIRC. Even if access to the IRC protocol is blocked, your IRC connection will be anonymous and your IP address hidden from the IRC network and other users.
For users of ICQ, AntiFirewall is an invaluable tool. You can keep in touch with your friends and family, even from behind a firewall. Your IP address will be hidden from the ICQ network and other users, helping you to stay safe and secure online.
If you're looking to read and post to newsgroups, then AntiFirewall can help with that too. You can use standard newsreader software such as Outlook or Agent to read and post to newsgroups, even if access to the news access protocol (NNTP) is blocked by your firewall. Once again, your IP address is hidden from the news server, so it won't be possible to track your postings back to your actual location.
Finally, AntiFirewall also allows you to read email from your personal account when you're at work and access to POP/IMAP is blocked by the firewall. Overall, AntiFirewall is a powerful tool that can help you stay connected and anonymous online, even in the face of restrictive firewalls.
