Review: I'm InTouch 7.2 – Yahoo! News UK

01 Communique supplied us with a couple of trial accounts for I'm InTouch, enabling us to evaluate its so-called Premium service. This adds central administration and remote power-on to the core remote control, chat and file transfer tools of the base product and, as such, is aimed at the business rather than ordinary home user.

To get started we logged onto the I'm InTouch web site using the credentials provided, then activated our licences, supplying user names and passwords to connect to each of our test desktops. For security the credentials are stored on the PC itself rather than the I'm InTouch server, and you can also assign a nickname to each computer to make them easier to identify.

That done, we simply followed the link provided to download client software onto the PCs we wanted to control, designated 'hosts' by the I'm InTouch people. This is fairly easy and there's support for all versions of Windows from 2000 onwards, including 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both Vista and Windows 7.

On the downside, the setup is a fairly lengthy process involving a great deal of code and requiring a lot of user input. Still, we managed to work our way through it all without any hiccups and, once installed, were able to connect to our hosts from the I'm InTouch web portal simply by selecting the computer we wanted. This we did either by typing its name or choosing from a list showing which of our hosts were online and ready to access.

There was no need to explicitly install any software on the controlling PC, although for full desktop access a Java applet will be downloaded. However, if Java isn't available or downloads are blocked you can opt to just transfer files or connect to Outlook on the remote PC instead (where available) to access email. You can also connect to a remote webcam, if configured.

We found the Outlook option very useful, especially when connecting from a smartphone with a limited display, giving us quick access to email without the need for local client software. We could also access our contacts and calendars, and configure the I'm InTouch host to email us when new messages were received. Not quite 'push' email, but a workable substitute nonetheless.

It's also worth noting that, as with most 'real' customers, our remote client PCs were located behind NAT protected firewalls, as were the systems used to control them. This can cause real problems with some remote control products, but not I'm InTouch where the initial connections are all outbound (brokered by the I'm InTouch communication server), so in most circumstances it just works, regardless of firewall or proxy server settings.

As for performance, some of our tests were done using PCs on the same local network while, for others, we connected to remote locations linked by broadband services. We also connected remotely over a 3G network and were impressed with the response, even with the limited bandwidth that gave us. The ability to switch between dual displays was really useful and it was easy to resize the desktop to suit the machine we were using. We also found it easy and quick to transfer files and print locally, without having to install extra drivers.

There were a few things we didn't like, not least the huge amount of client code we had to download and install onto the host PCs. This contrasts with other remote control programs, like TeamViewer, where the client takes just a few seconds to fetch and can simply be run rather than installed onto the host PC. As such we can't really see I'm InTouch being used for ad-hoc helpdesk or other support applications. Indeed the company has a separate product – I'm On Call – for that.

Similarly, although it's nice to be able to power up a remote desktop otherwise left switched off, there are a couple of pre-requisites. One is support for Wake-on-LAN on the target PC, the other the need for an always-on wake-up proxy on the remote network, adding to the cost and complexity of the solution.

Such concerns aside, we found I'm InTouch easy to use and a good performer. It does have its limitations and lots of competition, but is worth looking at by anyone needing to provide users with secure remote access to their desktops when out of the office.

Hide Your Tracks On The Internet

Ok, I know you’ve seen them. All those pop up windows claiming that “You’re being watched!” or banner ads saying “Your computer is under surveillance!” And all you need to do is buy their product and your computer’s visbility will disappear from the Internet. Well, to state the obvious, that’s just not true.

We have to give those companies some credit though – they are giving you half of the truth. If they were giving you the whole story, what they’d be saying is that their software will make your surfing tracks disappear from your personal computer. Not from the Internet.

Now, with that said, don’t just blow off these products saying “if they can’t get rid of all my personal surfing records then what good are they?” These products actually address the more important half of the issue. The effective ones really do clean up your personal computer! To me this is very important because it’s easier for people to get your computer’s Internet records, via hacking, tracking or outright theft, than it is for them to get any other type of Internet records.

Want proof? Just ask Gary Glitter, a 1960’s pop star who took his personal computer in to have a repair done. The shop found both pictures and other evidence of illegal Internet activity and called the cops! Glitter spent time in jail because he didn’t “clean up his act” before he took the computer in for a repair.

The other half of this issue and the one that is a bit more complicated to address is made up of all the records established and held by your ISP (Internet Service Provider), Internet routers (computer “traffic cops” that route Internet requests around the web) and website hosting servers.

These computers are completely outside your scope of influence. You can’t just call up your ISP and tell them to delete all records that pertain to your account! Once they are done laughing, they will let you know that to do that they would have to cull through literally millions of records for any given day to pull out your two or three hundred records. The effort would be enormous and they don’t have the resources to do this kind of work.

Besides, these logs are used mostly to trouble shoot server / router errors and to help stop hacker abuse and other kinds of DOS (Denial of Service) attacks.

But you can affect the information that gets stored in these logs. T
1000
o understand this you need to know how the process works. Here are the basic steps:

-You sign on to your ISP.

-Your ISP assigns you an IP (Internet Protocol) address. An IP address is a series of numbers that tell the computer where you are connecting from and who to send information to.

-You type in a web address in your browser and send that request to your ISP.

-Your ISP logs the request, along with your assigned IP address and then goes out to the Internet to request the web page.

-The ISP’s request goes through multiple routers, each one logging who made the request and forwarding on the request to the next until it gets to the server hosting the web page.

-The host server logs the request and sends the information back out, often through a completely different set of routers, each one again logging the request and passing it on to the next until it gets back to your ISP.

-Your ISP looks up in it’s log who made the initial request and sends it on to you.

-You get the page, a temporary copy is stored on your hard drive.

-You click on a link or enter in a new web address and the process starts all over again!

So for every request you make to your ISP, not only does that request get stored on your computer, it gets stored on a number of other computers as well! Comforting right?

Well there is a way to hide, or mask would be a better term, your web surfing activities. You need to use an anonymous surfing tool. Sites like Anonymizer.com or the-cloak.com offer an online proxy type service that takes advantage of SSL and encryption to keep your surfing tracks to yourself.

All requests made to them through SSL are encrypted so even your ISP can’t read what you requested. This secure connection is the same type that ecommerce sites use to protect your credit card data. Then all requests they make for you reference their computers as the originator of the request so all the routers and web host servers see is their IP address! Your personal and or browser information is blocked from the Internet.

So, if you really want to protect your privacy, give the snoopers a one – two punch. Clean up your act by using one of the history / cookie clean up tools available for download AND surf through one of the anonymous surfing providers out on the net.

Often people will want to know and will ask me, what would be the best free anonymous proxy to use? Honestly there is no clear cut answer to that question. Proxies that appear to be good may disappear from use on the internet within an hour. So even if I was to recommend a very good fast proxy that would keep you safe online, by the time you got to the end of reading this article it could be gone and no longer be usable. There is a simple reason that proxies like these never stay live on the internet for any length of time.

First off the cost of bandwidth, that alone can add up to be a large sum of money monthly. Then taking into consideration the thousands of people wanting to surf the internet using your anonymous proxies, your bandwidth bill is only going to grow and bandwidth is only one part of the costs involved to running a proxy server, there are several other components. You are probably wondering why if it costs so much, what is the purpose of someone making available free anonymous proxies for the general public to use?

There are two main reasons that free anonymous proxies are set up:

The first is that the owner of the proxy server is not even aware that their proxies are being used by someone else. This can easily happen by accident when a server is not configured properly, leaving a port open, which then allows all kinds of anonymous connections to the server, instead of only being used for specific users. Many times the only way a datacenter administrator will know that something is not right is by either the large bandwidth bill, looking at the usage graphs or seeing a massive performance decrease in the server. Unless you are an experienced tech, this is a mistake that can happen easily.

Now for the real reason and one that should be a major concern for anyone who uses or is considering using a proxy on the internet is … Crime .. Identity Theft. To these internet pirates everyone’s personal information is very valuable. Everything from your bank account numbers, credit card numbers, your address, social security number and all your personal account and logins. And the list goes on. These thieves will stop at nothing to get your personal information; they seek out servers, usually from large companies and compromise them. Then they take these proxies they have just stole and list them on websites for people to find and use and then steal all the data passing through that proxy.

Due to the danger of using these proxies the risk is far too great and out weighs all the benefits. Remember never use any of your personal or confidential information if you choose to use free proxies. If your privacy and safety is much more important to you, but you are not able to pay for a secure professional service, then it may be worthwhile looking into TOR. Although the connection may be much slower than what you are used to, it provides some anonymity although there are still many security issue so it would be best not to use it for secure requirements like online banking and stock trading etc.

With the proliferation of the Internet, many websites promote themselves by sending you spam junk mails, advertisings and even embed spyware that is difficult to remove onto your computer. These things not only keep track of your personal information, but also enable hackers and crackers to infiltrate your system. Anonymous proxy servers act as a wall between your data and the Internet, whereby providing security to your system and data. There are however, other reasons to use an anonymous proxy server.

If your work or school has any type of filtering in place to prevent people from visiting certain websites, an anonymous proxy server is a great way to get around such restrictions. Anonymous proxy servers work by acting as a “middle man”; they download the requested pages to their proxy server and in turn you download the page, all images and other such objects from the proxy server to your browser, thus bypassing any filters or annoying firewalls. Not only is this a viable alternative for students to bypass their school’s filter to access such popular student sites such as Myspace or Xanga but can be used if your workplace has strict limitations on which websites you can access. Most anonymous proxy bypass servers use one of two program, PHProxy or CGIProxy, both of which are excellent proxy software packages.

After you have discovered the benefits of using anonymous proxy servers, you will probably want to try it out. There are numerous free proxy services out there, one of the most popular is SpySurfing ( http://www.spysurfing.com/ ) and is a really fast proxy server that is popular among both students look to bypass their school filters and adults looking to bypass their work place firewalls.

This adds central administration and remote power-on to the core remote control, chat and file transfer tools of the base product and, as such, is aimed at the business rather than ordinary home user.

To get started we logged onto the I'm InTouch web site using the credentials provided, then activated our licences, supplying user names and passwords to connect to each of our test desktops. For security the credentials are stored on the PC itself rather than the I'm InTouch server, and you can also assign a nickname to each computer to make them easier to identify.

That done, we simply followed the link provided to download client software onto the PCs we wanted to control, designated 'hosts' by the I'm InTouch people. This is fairly easy and there's support for all versions of Windows from 2000 onwards, including 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both Vista and Windows 7.

On the downside, the setup is a fairly lengthy process involving a great deal of code and requiring a lot of user input. Still, we managed to work our way through it all without any hiccups and, once installed, were able to connect to our hosts from the I'm InTouch web portal simply by selecting the computer we wanted. This we did either by typing its name or choosing from a list showing which of our hosts were online and ready to access.

There was no need to explicitly install any software on the controlling PC, although for full desktop access a Java applet will be downloaded. However, if Java isn't available or downloads are blocked you can opt to just transfer files or connect to Outlook on the remote PC instead (where available) to access email. You can also connect to a remote webcam, if configured.

We found the Outlook option very useful, especially when connecting from a smartphone with a limited display, giving us quick access to email without the need for local client software. We could also access our contacts and calendars, and configure the I'm InTouch host to email us when new messages were received. Not quite 'push' email, but a workable substitute nonetheless.

It's also worth noting that, as with most 'real' customers, our remote client PCs were located behind NAT protected firewalls, as were the systems used to control them. This can cause real problems with some remote control products, but not I'm InTouch where the initial connections are all outbound (brokered by the I'm InTouch communication server), so in most circumstances it just works, regardless of firewall or proxy server settings.

As for performance, some of our tests were done using PCs on the same local network while, for others, we connected to remote locations linked by broadband services. We also connected remotely over a 3G network and were impressed with the response, even with the limited bandwidth that gave us. The ability to switch between dual displays was really useful and it was easy to resize the desktop to suit the machine we were using. We also found it easy and quick to transfer files and print locally, without having to install extra drivers.

There were a few things we didn't like, not least the huge amount of client code we had to download and install onto the host PCs. This contrasts with other remote control programs, like TeamViewer, where the client takes just a few seconds to fetch and can simply be run rather than installed onto the host PC. As such we can't really see I'm InTouch being used for ad-hoc helpdesk or other support applications. Indeed the company has a separate product – I'm On Call – for that.

Similarly, although it's nice to be able to power up a remote desktop otherwise left switched off, there are a couple of pre-requisites. One is support for Wake-on-LAN on the target PC, the other the need for an always-on wake-up proxy on the remote network, adding to the cost and complexity of the solution.

Such concerns aside, we found I'm InTouch easy to use and a good performer. It does have its limitations and lots of competition, but is worth looking at by anyone needing to provide users with secure remote access to their desktops when out of the office.

When it comes to setting security for your Internet servers choosing the correct HTTP proxy or paid SOCKS proxy can become a daunting project. Especially, if you do not know what you are doing. If this has become your responsibility, and you do not know the first thing about servers, than your first order of business will be to develop an understanding of the different service servers provide. “SOCKS” does not stand for a nice pair of comfortable socks.

SOCKS vs. HTTP

It is an abbreviation for “sockets,” which is a server-based application or server which is used to transfer information and/or data between clients computers. These servers use a set of filtering rules to enhance the security for your Internet usage. Paid SOCKS proxies uses Internet protocol to keep client machines anonymous and safe for security purposes. These servers will also enhance the speed and accessibility to routinely access data. This is especially apparent when used in conjunction with a firewall. HTTP proxy servers work in a similar fashion. However, instead of using a particular list of rules HTTP proxies will pool the information or request through one server to give users a safe way to browse the Internet.

Made A Decision Yet?

Now that you understand more about HTTP proxies, and paid SOCKS proxy servers having to make a choice has just become easier. SOCKS proxy technology simply transfers data from server to server it without penetrating the data content. Therefore, a paid SOCKS proxy can work with any SOCKS version. A SOCKS 4 with TCP will work with a SOCKS 5 with TCP and UDP protocols. It can also work with other formats like HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3 and NNTP. This becomes an added benefit as your company continues to grow and you need to add new servers. The servers expandability means you will not have to purchase an entirely new system. All you will need to do is add to the servers you already have.

SOCKS In-Depth

There are currently three different paid SOCKS proxy servers available on the market’s list today. You can have the opportunity to choose between SOCKS protocol 4, 4a and 5. The 4 and 4a versions are older and more widespread. While the 5th version is newer and supports most of the more popular programs; such programs as ICQ, Napster, MP3 file downloads, AudioGalaxy. Understanding the different between the servers makes it easier to determine which proxy server will work best for your company.

Is There Really A Difference?

Even though there are several different types of proxy servers they are all fundamentally created to do the same job. They provide Internet access with a sense of security to feel free to browse and purchase items online. A suitable proxy service will enable management to monitor the Internet usage across the company. This becomes paramount when management thinks that some of their employees are abusing their right to use the Internet. This abuse can inflict a company wide virus that can take down the entire companies usage.

You are here for a paid SOCKS proxy, or a paid HTTP proxy. The choice is yours.
