TrustConnect Overview
Comodo TrustConnect is a secure Internet proxy service that creates an encrypted session when users are accessing the Internet over public wireless connections. Since these wireless sessions can be relatively easily intercepted, they present a significant data vulnerability gap for businesses and consumers alike. Whenever Comodo Internet Security detects unsecured wireless connections it will present you with the opportunity to use your TrustConnect account for the connection.
TrustConnect is designed to eliminate these types of data hijacks by preventing criminals from attacking or scanning your system from the local network that you are using to connect to the Internet. It also encrypts all of your traffic destined for the Internet (including Web site addresses, instant messaging conversations, personal information, plain text usernames and passwords and other important information). After connecting to the service, the TrustConnect software indicates that traffic is being encrypted as it leaves your system. Data thieves and hackers cannot 'sniff' or intercept your data - they can't even determine where your information is coming from because, as you are connecting to the Internet through a SSL secured VPN connection to the TrustConnect servers, your requests appear to come from our IP address. Ordinarily, cyber criminals could easily intercept these broadcasts.
Setting up Comodo TrustConnect is easy, as it works on most operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X) as well as with most firewall applications. Typical setup takes less than three minutes. TrustConnect clients are available for Windows, Mac OS, Linux and iPhone mobile devices and can be downloaded by logging into your account at https://accounts.comodo.com/account/login. Your Comodo Internet Security Complete confirmation email contains confirmation of your the username that you set up during initial sign up and a subscription ID for the service. Once logged in, click the TrustConnect tab to add subscriptions, change billing and contact information, and review the ongoing status of your service. Your Comodo Internet Security Complete TrustConnect account has a 10 GB/month data transfer limit.
