What is Direct Connect's Web Privacy Service?
Privacy while surfing the Internet has become a growing concern among web users. Advertisers actively seek ways to gather information about your surfing habits. By exploiting features built into the two most popular web browsers, Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, these advertisers can obtain information about where you go on the Internet and even what your e-mail address is. Our Web Privacy Service prevents your browser from giving out information about you. In addition, it blocks advertising and those annoying pop-up windows.

How does it work?
We have set up a server on our network which intercepts the communication between your computer and the web site you are accessing. Our server filters out personal information your computer may be giving out and blocks advertising and pop up windows coming to your computer from the web site. All you have to do to set up this service is configure your browser to use this intercepting server. Links to instructions on how to configure your browser are listed below.

What kinds of protection does this service provide?

Filters out malicious code which alters your browser configuration.
Filters out personal information your computer gives out to web sites.
Blocks annoying animated graphics.
Blocks advertising and pop-up windows.

BROWSER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

Please Note: There occasionally will be web sites that you want to access which won't function properly because of the filtering this system does. Simply reverse the instructions below to temporarily disable this service and re-enable it when you're finished with the web site.
