Hi Dorris, So I must be running firefox to be using this?, -----Original Message----- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Doris and Chris Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 10:24 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] hotspot shield?
Google for something called "Tor Browser". This is free also and allows to hide the ip address for unblocked browsing. It is bundled with Firefox and therefore works fine with jaws. It can even be run portably from a flash drive. the installed version also allows for instant messaging, I think but i have never tried that part. hth Doris At 12:53 AM 11/9/2011 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, >Accessing programs might be a little tricky once you've connected to >Hot Spot Shield.
