Review
While this is an effective program for secretly surfing the Web, some program features worked a bit too well. WebTunnel hides your IP address as well as other personal information while you're online. We had a few issues while setting up the program and weren't too happy with the automatic e-mail program activation as it disrupts the installation. As a pop-up blocker, WebTunnel keeps a record of pages and banners it blocks. In fact, it does an almost too-good job of blocking pop-ups, as we weren't able to access some JavaScript-generated windows we wanted. WebTunnel cleans your Web cache and history, although the process isn't configurable. The trial version of this program allows you to surf most Web pages, but during testing we found a few sites with heavy multimedia files that were blocked. Overall, we don't recommend WebTunnel as a pop-up blocker, but it works well as program for anonymous Web surfing.
