If the Java Web Start has been installed in your computer,
then the next step is to download our FreeSurf:
- Once you click the link above for download, the Java Web
Start will automatically download and install the software for
you.
- A warning message will be generated by Java Web Start as the
Jave Web Start stalling the software in your computer
(see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Warning message.
This is because no certificate is purchased from online
business certificate authorities, since FreeSurf is
developed by a non-profit group of volunteers over the
Internet and they don't have any intention to commercialize
this software. The ethics of
distributing free software online are followed -- we
always give it our best shot to make a program useful and
robust, but there is no absolute warranty for using this
program and it is users' obligation to determine for what
purpose to use this software as well as the possible
consequences of using this software.
Press the "Start" button, Web Start is going to complete
the software and start to run it. It's just so simple!
-
After the software, FreeSurf, gets started, you will be
popuped a window (Figure 2) and you are asked to type in
a valid email address to which the IP address of the
proxy that will be assigned to serve you will be sent.
Figure 2. Popup Window for email address
[Note: the email address MUST be
correctly typed in and it MUST be valid. Which means, you must
be able to receive messages from the typed email address.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to receive the IP address of
the proxy designated to serve you. We DO NOT have any
intention to use users' email addresses for any commercial
purposes, NEITHER to share them with any third party.]
After you type in your email address, press "OK". If
everything is okay (particularly the email address you typed
is correct), you will see a confirmation as illustrated in
Figure 3.
Figure 3£ºConfirmation of receving the submitted
email address.
This message also informs you that a proxy is designated to
serve you and the proxy's IP has been sent to you through the
email. (You should check your email for this message later. You
need to follow the instructions described in
Guide to configure this downloaded
software with the received proxy's IP after the installation.)
- After click the "OK" in Figure 3, another popup (see Figure 4)
will come out and ask you if you would like an icon of FreeSurf
on the destop of your computer.

If you choose "Yes", then you will be able to start FreeSurf
by easily clicking the icon (see Figure 5) at the desktop.
What an easy job!
