Cookies are small tags of information that a web site sets in your browser.
If your anonymous proxy does not support cookies, it cannot be used to access
services like YAHOO mail..

TREA: Target Revocable Email Address - A spam suppression device
by which the anonymous browsing service sets up email
forwarding for you, and can automatically fill in your forwarding
address when you sign up with web sites. You can get the
same effect with a service that does not support TREA by
obtaining a web-mail account from a site like Yahoo and
using that when you sign up at web sites. The main advantage
of TREA is that it saves you the trouble of remembering
login names and passwords.

| 3 | Some services place a banner or control panel at the top of every page.
This can be annoying, especially for small pages or frames. The
Cloak uses a separate mini-page for the control panel.
|
| 4 | The Cloak allows proxying of secure (https/SSL) web pages
if you disable the "Nullify https URLs" button on the Control Panel. This causes the
Cloak to decrypt pages from a secure site, and then re-encrypt them if you are using the Cloak
in encrypted mode.
HOWEVER you should be aware of some caveats: (1) This somewhat defeats the purpose of
using https/SSL - you are allowing the Cloak to look inside supposedly encrypted communications
between you and a secure site; (2) https/SSL forwarding does not include site certificate
verification. Therefore you should use this feature with care, and not rely on it
for crucial things like important financial data. In fact, you shouldn't rely on the
Cloak at all for crucial data.
