Let's look at some rather easy ways you can get around work or school firewalls and internet filters. A proxy is a web server that stands in your place and receives and sends information to web destinations. Ironically, it's likely that your school or workplace is using a proxy to block you in the first place. Since all web request must go through it, it can block access to certain sites from its blacklist.
So this is actually a case of using a proxy to beat a proxy. Using a web-based proxy is dead easy. For example, Hide. Me has one that looks like this. All you have to do is type in the address of the place you want to visit and the proxy will display it on its own page.
Ah, but what if the proxy site itself is blacklisted? That's actually the big problem with this approach. Chances are that the most common proxy sites are already blocked, but if you can find a new or obscure one your internet overlords don't know about yet then it should still work. VPNs are still the most secure and advanced way to browse privately. If you use a VPN, all of your internet traffic is encrypted.
This means your school's proxy, firewall or whatever censorship technology won't have any idea what you're doing on the connection. Their ISP won't know either, so there is no change that the institution can get in trouble.
Full review: Bitdefender Total Security. Avast Premium Security is another paid-for full-feature internet security suite which comes in two main forms: single PC use, or up to 10 devices including macOS, iOS, and Android. As with Bitdefender, this means that you can protect both a home PC as well as mobile devices. However, because there's an option to protect up to 10 devices it means you can use a single license to protect the family as well. As well as a firewall for all devices, Avast Premium Security also protects anti-ransomware protection, file encryption and file shredder options.
There are also anti-phishing and anti-fraud protections for safer online banking, and there's also protection against your webcam being hacked by a third-party. Overall, Avast Premium Security is another solid and reliable internet security suite, but one thing that does let it down is the constant pop-up ads pushing on cross-sell for PC tune-up and other other software.
Full review: Avast Premium Security. Norton Premium offers an even richer and more feature-packed internet security suite than just providing a firewall. While it provides for antivirus and standard anti-malware protections like the above internet security suites it dares to go further. Additional features in the Norton Premium includes a secure VPN, parental controls, a password manager, and online cloud backup.
There's also a feature for dark web monitoring so you can be alerted if any of your details appear for sale on the Dark Web. This all comes at a more expensive price than the other internet security suites featured here, but the additional features and peace of mind are likely to be worth it for some people.
If you want to add identity protection you can upgrade to Norton Premium with Lifelock Select, which provides additional identity protection and credit rating monitoring as well as insurance provision in the event that your personal information is misused.
Full review: Norton Deluxe. Firewall, real-time malware detection, speedy cloud-based scanning, URL filtering to block malicious websites: Panda Dome Essential antivirus has all the essentials — not to mention, the goodies — you'd expect from the best antivirus software. And, that's just the beginning. The interface will be a little bit decisive, too. With so many weird and wonderful features included, Panda Dome does a very capable job of making sure that they can all be accessed and you can go as in-depth as you need.
However, on the other hand, this might put off users who just want a quiet, simple antivirus package. One undoubted advantage here is the price - Panda Dome Essential is one of the best value programs out there. And, you even have the option of paying a little more and upgrading to cover an unlimited number of laptops, phones, tablets and desktops with a single subscription.
Full review: Panda Dome Essential. Installation takes seconds, the program files barely use 2MB of your hard drive, RAM footprint is tiny, and there are no bulky signature updates to tie up your bandwidth. Considering this, there's no compromise on features, which makes it all the more impressive. Along with the core protection, there's smart behavior monitoring, accurate real-time anti-phishing, network connection monitor, enhanced anti-ransomware, and of course firewall protection.
