#Spotflux Brings Privacy Back to the Web
The goal of Spotflux technology is to bridge a connection from anywhere in the world, avoiding any blockages or deep packet inspection, and to prevent traffic shaping or content modification. Spotflux technology works by encrypting and tunneling a connection between a user and Spotflux infrastructure. The magic sauce involved uses Spotflux proprietary technology that has been developed to avoid deep packet inspection and to avoid blockages based on IP or DNS entries. At the same time Spotflux can protect the privacy of their users by preventing unwanted tracking, and protecting our users from threats such as malware and viruses. Spotflux is live and serving over 100,000 customers around the globe in 120 countries.
Spotflux has closed its first funding ($1m) led by New Atlantic Ventures and joined by a group of Angel investors including Paris based Kima Ventures and Steven R. Gerbsman.
