Ive been using it for months and like it. You can check out the website here http://www.metropipe.net
But dont pay them the 99$ for it, Let me know and I will gladly send you program. Its easy to install and setup for both firefox and IE, They even have a plugin for FF to easily switch between proxy and standard connection.
Arguably worth it if you are into large money investments and offshore accounts, etc... But DX, what are you offering in public? You don't think Metro has a way to protect against that? I could be over cautious, but it sounds like you are asking for trouble. Please tell me if you know I am wrong
Also, this encryption only works with other same encrypted account holders, so anyone else you deal with on the internet thers's no encryption.
I think it could be encripted from your computer to the proxy server in cyber space, then changed back from there . Thanks for the info. so far. Any more comments anybody ?

Metropipe is a proxy service only, They do not provide instant message or other communication services.
AOF: you hit the nail on the head, When using metropipe or other proxies, Sites you visit through the proxy will see you as the proxies IP and locale not your true IP and location.
If you would like to quickly find out what the web knows about you from your ip, check out this site. http://ipspy.metropipe.net/
as for what I am offering, I simply said I would send the install file to those that are interested in using it.
If you want to make sure your IM's are untouchable by 3rd parties, I would suggest using skype. They encrypt both IM and voice conversations from end 2 end.
Go to www.wilderssecurity.com/ and read alot. Then do a search for metropipe and read a lot more. I have not installed metropipe as yet, still reading.
Metropipe is a privacy tool, it has little or no effect on the security of your system. Your real IP address is still visible to the internet and all the stuff including exploits and malware still comes in with metropipe. All it does is ensure that your surfing habits and IP address aren't visible to websites you visit. Privacy is closing the curtains, security is locking the doors and turning the alarm on. You can have privacy without security and vice-versa.
