Primedius WebTunnel

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

While this is an effective program for secretly surfing the Web, some program features worked a bit too well. WebTunnel hides your IP address as well as other personal information while you're online. We had a few issues while setting up the program and weren't too happy with the automatic e-mail program activation as it disrupts the installation. As a pop-up blocker, WebTunnel keeps a record of pages and banners it blocks. In fact, it does an almost too-good job of blocking pop-ups, as we weren't able to access some JavaScript-generated windows we wanted. WebTunnel cleans your Web cache and history, although the process isn't configurable. The trial version of this program allows you to surf most Web pages, but during testing we found a few sites with heavy multimedia files that were blocked. Overall, we don't recommend WebTunnel as a pop-up blocker, but it works well as program for anonymous Web surfing.

    "Primedious is history"

    July 21, 2008  |   By Zack__Man

    Version: Primedius WebTunnel 6.14

    Pros

    This terrible company finaly went out of business...that is the good news.

    Cons

    Primedious closed their doors, disconnected their servers & phones, and stopped responding to writen mail. They do not exist anymore, so this software is now dissabled, even for the shareware period, and even if you already paid for it. (There are many complaints to the BBB for this company dissabling the software that it's customers had already paid for.)

    "Premedius is out of business"

    July 18, 2007  |   By ronkov

    Version: Primedius WebTunnel 6.14

    Pros

    It was ok in the past.

    Cons

    I had several months left on my subscription, but when I tried to contact Primedius my email was returned and WebTunnel no longer works. I don't know why there isn't some information that this company is out of business. If they aren't, they should be because they have abandoned their customers. Another ripoff. Stay away.

    "Out of business, FRAUD, wish I can sue!"

    March 25, 2007  |   By Fatvoodoo

    Version: Primedius WebTunnel 6.14

    Pros

    Used to be the best to get around the Great Firewall of China, not so stable but good enough.

    Cons

    All service cut off in the fall of 2006, without any notice, and the website was taken down. If anyone wants to sue them class-action style I would sign up so happily. Where is my subscription refund? They took a lot of people's money and ran away, f*cking thieves!

    "Used to be good. Not anymore!!!"

    November 13, 2006  |   By mikepool9

    Version: Primedius WebTunnel 6.14

    Pros

    Able to take your money in a single bound...

    Cons

    Their Customer Service/Tech Support is a joke. I can't even get a refund for the remainder of my 1 year contract which is 7 months!!! I have been a Primedius customer for 4 years but they don't care. I can no longer download any file from the Internet since they did their so called upgrading in October of this year (2006). Yet when I disconnect from their proxy, all is fine. There have been outages and other glitches over the years, but nothing like this. The problem is definitely not on my end and they admitted it in an email. I even tried their service on 4 different computers, 3 different ISPs, and one computer that had a fresh install of WinXP and nothing else installed. Their reply: This is a rare problem and cannot find solution. Bull!!! It took a month for them to come to that conclusion.

    Do yourself a favor and use another service. Preferably one that is overseas (unlike Primedius). After all, anonymity is what you are after. Isnt it? And Im not a competitor. Just a ticked off customer who is getting shafted for $60 which is the remainder of the one year plan.

    "Doesnt even work."

    September 3, 2006  |   By leukoplast

    Version: Primedius WebTunnel 6.14

    Pros

    None

    Cons

    This program is useless..and extremely complicated. Not advised for casual users. You have to manually set up everything..and even when you go through all that trouble, it still doesn't work.

    Do your self a favor, and dont even try this, its a waste of download time.

    Version: Primedius WebTunnel 6.14

    Pros

    Didn't like it
