Nice to see a business supporting others.

Easy to stop those peskie marketeers! Works with Windows Parental Controls so looks after all my family.

Works well over my mobile broadband. The mobile companies are the ones to dread the most for analyzing your habits, they even know where you are!

Service Compatibility

uk:anon service has been extensively tested on both sides of the Atlantic for both ADSL/Cable Broadband and Mobile Broadband services. Although we have not tested every possible ISP/Mobile ISP in the UK and the US the major players certainly have been tested, as well as many business and corporate network environments.

Media Compatibility

In addition, the uk:anon service has been widely tested for media player/streaming media (Flash, Silverlight, Windows Media Player, Apple Quicktime and Real Networks Media Player) in a 32-bit environment - Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7. There are some known issues (but not with our service) with 64-bit compatibility for some media players and browsers which have been widely written about. We keep an update on 64-bit issues here.
