SOCKS Proxy

Browse from home, from anywhere

Route your traffic through your own home or office connection — not a third-party VPN — so the web behaves as if you never left, with no open ports.

SOCKS PROXY
Overview

What it does

Streaming, banking, and commerce sites gate access by location, and third-party VPNs use shared IPs that get flagged. A personal SOCKS proxy on your own network sidesteps both — you browse from your real home or work IP.

Remote.It turns a device on your home or office network into a personal SOCKS proxy — your traffic exits from your own connection, over an encrypted peer-to-peer link, with nothing exposed to the internet.

How it works

Install the Remote.It SOCKS Proxy on a device at home or in the office, then point your browser at it. Your web traffic tunnels to that device over an encrypted peer-to-peer connection and exits from its IP — so sites see your home or office location, and no ports are ever opened.
