The following explanations will help you determine the personal preferences for your Windows machine when using Anonymizer Universal.
Preferences
Connect automatically
Check this box to automatically connect to the Anonymizer Universal servers when the software opens. This will automatically “Connect” the software when you open the program.
Launch at Windows startup
Check this box to have the Anonymizer Universal application launch automatically when you start your computer. This will start the program and prompt you to “Connect” the software.
Please Note: If both boxes, “Launch at Windows startup” and “Connect automatically” are checked, the program will automatically open and connect to the servers when you start your computer.
If both boxes, “Launch at Windows startup” and “Connect automatically” are unchecked, you will need to first “Open” and “Connect” the software to connect to the Anonymizer Universal servers.
Enable detailed logging
Check this box to have the Anonymizer Universal application log the connections to the Anonymizer Universal servers with more detailed information regarding the connection. This setting is helpful in cases of repeated connection attempts or errors. It is suggested to enable this prior to contacting Support as it will provide critical information regarding the point at which the connection is being blocked. This log does NOT record your personal IP address, the IP address issued by Anonymizer, or any online activity conducted on your computer. Select “View log” to see the exact information contained.
