فیلتر شکن فری گیت 7.40 Freegate. 6-ghesmate Manual Proxy Configuration ra tik bezanid 7-http proxy benvisid 127.0.0.1 port 8580. Freegate is the new style proxy specifically designed to collaborate with the internet explorer. The purpose is to let all users enjoy true internet freedom. Especially people in China, Iran, Vietnam, UAE, and Russia must use this tool.

• Download X-Proxy - Surf the Internet anonymously, change your IP address, prevent identity theft and intrusion from hackers by using a proxy IP server.
• If thats the goal of using FreeGate than I agree that the school is 100%, wait, make that 200% correct. And at least you had the decency to respond in a mature way, instead of just sending people off without discussion, like the first reaction.
• Easiest way would be using wine, and a browser with a proxy-switcher add-on, so that you can switch between different proxies easily. Chrome/Chromium with proxy switchysharp. Firefox with foxyproxy (basic or standard).

• Hi guys,

  I’ve been struggling with this for months: how can I install Freegate on my Mac?? Hope I could get help on here.

  Cheers

  You can install WINE on your Mac and then run freegate through WINE.

  Infact, you can run many other windows applications on mac through wine.

  Good luck 😉

  @Ian, does it work good by editing the host ?

  When I was in Shenyang just few weeks ago I was using VPN/HotSpotshield and it is free

Dongtaiwang.com removal instructions

What is dongtaiwang.com?

The dongtaiwang.com website is created for Chinese-speaking users and promotes a VPN (Virtual Private Network) called Freegate. This app accesses websites that are otherwise blocked in the user's country. Note, however, that it is categorized as a browser hijacker, a potentially unwanted application (PUA), since it changes browser settings, promotes the dongtaiwang.com website and articles, and collects information relating to users' browsing habits.

Once installed, Freegate might change the default browser (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer) settings by assigning dongtaiwang.com as the homepage and new tab URL address. In this way, it forces users to visit this website when they open their browsers or new tabs in them. It might also cause random redirects to articles on dongtaiwang.com and also to the Sina Weibo website. Some articles published on dongtaiwang.com might contain links to other dubious websites. This browser-hijacking app also gathers data relating to the users' browsing activity such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, entered search queries, URLs of visited websites, geolocations, and so on. The developers of these apps often share the collected data with third parties who misuse it to generate revenue. Some of the information could contain personal details and the third parties might be cyber criminals. Therefore, we advise against having any PUAs installed, since this could result in privacy and browsing safety issues. Using information tracking apps can also lead to identity theft.

Freegate is presented as a legitimate app that allows users to bypass restrictions that prevent users from accessing various websites. In many cases, however, browser hijackers provide none of the features promised or any other advantages - they are often designed simply to generate revenue for the developers by causing unwanted redirects and gathering user-system information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Freegate can be downloaded from the dongtaiwang.com website, however, most people download/install browser hijackers and other potentially unwanted apps unintentionally. This usually happens when they click intrusive advertisements or when developers promote PUAs using a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling'. They use this method to trick people into installing unwanted apps with other software. In most cases, PUAs are hidden in 'Custom', 'Advanced' (and other similar) options/settings of software download or installation set-ups. Note, however, that people generally cause these installations by when they skip steps without making changes to settings and fail to dismiss offers to download and install unwanted apps.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Do not download software using Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, and so on), third party software downloaders, unofficial pages, and other sources of this kind. The safest way to download is using official websites and direct links. Install software with care, analyze each download or installation setup, check 'Advanced', 'Custom' and other similar settings. Bear in mind that intrusive advertisements (even if they appear legitimate) often redirect users to untrustworthy websites related to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on. If you regularly experience these redirects or intrusive ads, check your browser for suspicious extensions, add-ons, plugins, and remove them immediately. The same applies to installed programs on your computer (operating system). If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Malwarebytes for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
