FirePhoenix (FP) is a software to protect your privacy and identity when you surf the Internet. It effectively encrypts all your Internet traffic and anonymizes your IP address. In addition, it provides you with unrestricted access to Internet when your Internet connection is filtered, monitored or blocked by your company, your institution, your ISP or your country.

FP is particularly useful to users visiting websites that track visitors, or using a public network, and is even critical to users such as journalists in information-censorship territories.

FirePhoenix can be regarded as an all-protocol, automatic, secure and dynamic proxy system. It distinguishes itself with the following features:

1. Universal：FP protects all your Internet applications and protocols, not only web (http) traffic. It encrypts your data and hides your IP address when you send/receive emails, play networked games, chat with instant messengers (MSN, Yahoo Messenger, AOL IM, etc.), receive streaming media, as well as browse the web. FP immunizes Internet users against monitoring or eavesdropping on ANY information flowing in/out of your computer.
2. Automatic: FP's powerful protection does not require complex settings by a user. The protection is in place as soon as FP is started. No need to find or set proxies; no need to modify any setting in your applications.
3. Secure: FP encrypts all your network traffic. No third-party can recognize what Internet information is flowing in/out of your computer, even if they are monitoring your traffic.

FirePhoenix was first released by World Gate, Inc. in the summer of 2006. Currently FP is providing free service to mainland Chinese users. Fee-based service to other users will be provided in the near future.
