Orlando company launches device to cloak Web browsing

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/technology/tech_check/os-orlando-company-launches-device-to-cloak-web-browsing-20160210-story.html

A local entrepreneur has officially released a device that he says blocks computer activity from snooping eyes.

The iCLOAK Stik, which resembles a flash drive and plugs into a computer's USB port, blocks websites, agencies and others from tracking online activity.

The company sold 4,000 devices while it was in beta mode and raised more than $100,000 on Kickstarter when it was first announced.

It has become available online on the company's website.

Who needs a device. Just a vpn account & tor will do the job. Encrypt email if necessary.

make tracking extremely difficult and the most private maintain no logging. And the proper encryption cannot be broken by any agency... 100% secure without possibility of being defeated.
