What’s the difference between WebShuttle and a regular browser?

WebShuttle has a full-featured browser, which is even easier to use than many ordinary browsers, and can fully satisfy your daily browsing needs. In addition, it has added the feature of “Secure Tunnel”. By connecting to the secure tunnel, the browser can obtain a series of additional functions such as anonymous access, hijacking prevention, network acceleration and so on.

What is tunnel mode?

Once tunnel mode is turned on, the WebShuttle creates a secure encrypted tunnel between the client and the tunnel node. In tunnel mode, a user’s HTTP request is forwarded from the tunnel node to the target site via an encrypted tunnel. User data is encrypted during transmission in the tunnel to ensure privacy and data security.

Why we need a tunnel model?

1. Tunneling mode helps us to hide our real IP addresses and prevent them from being tracked, thus enabling truly anonymous access.

2. The transmission of data in the tunnel is encrypted, which effectively prevents data from being hijacked, tampered with and listened to during transmission.

3. We provide multiple tunnel nodes located around the world that can help you break through regionally restricted network requests.

What are the application scenarios of tunnel mode？

1. I want to access some web services by being anonymous and don’t want to expose the real IP address.

2. My network environment is potentially risky and I want to keep my data safe. For example, when you use wifi in public places to access the Internet, you may be at risk of network hijacking, theft of personal information and data tampering.

3. For some reason some network resources are restricted from access in my area, and encrypted tunnels can help you break the blockade.

4. I would like to access some network resources abroad, but these network resources are only available to users in the local area. At this point we can choose the appropriate tunnel node to break the limit.

5. When I access some network resources I find the speed very slow, by selecting some tunnel nodes may have a network acceleration effect.

Why choose WebShuttle tunneling mode instead of using a VPN?

A VPN is an underlying network protocol that works at the link or network layer and takes over the traffic at the network layer of your operating system. This means that the VPN will get higher privileges from the operating system and can listen to all network requests from the operating system. In other words, all the network traffic of the application will be taken over by the VPN, and the VPN software can monitor all the traffic on your device, and some malicious VPN software can steal the user’s private data at any time.

WebShuttle tunneling mode works at the application layer, the tunnel can only get the network requests flowing through the current browser for encryption, forwarding and other operations, it has no effect on the network requests of other applications.
If you are more concerned about your data privacy, WebShuttle’s tunnel mode is definitely a better choice.

I have successfully connected to the tunnel but cannot browse the internet

1. Some tunnel nodes may be temporarily unstable, please try to switch to another tunnel node manually.
2. Some system cache or DNS cache may cause network inaccessibility. At this point you can switch on your phone’s Airplane Mode and then switch it off again, which usually solves the problem.

I purchased a VIP package, can I still get my VIP package back if I uninstall and reinstall the software?

WebShuttle reads your VIP purchases through your GooglePlay account, so as long as your GooglePlay-bound account stays the same, your VIP won’t disappear.
