To get started using the NeoTunnel™ tunneling proxy service for secure and anonymous surfing on a Mac OS X computer using the Firefox browser, follow these steps:

1. Download the NeoTunnel DMG file.

2. Double click on the NeoTunnel.dmg file in your downloads folder (normally, the Desktop)
3. A "NeoTunnel" disk will appear on the Desktop and in Finder windows. Open this disk by selecting it in Finder or double clicking on its icon on the Desktop.
4. NOTE: This step must be performed by a user with Administrator privileges:

   Double click on the "Install NeoTunnel" icon. An authorization window will appear, where you will be asked for your account password.

   Type in your account password and click "OK".

5. Once the Installer is done, click "Quit".
6. Eject the "NeoTunnel" volume by clicking on the small eject icon against the "NeoTunnel" item in a Finder window.

   The NeoTunnel support software is now installed and inititalized, and the secure tunnel will be automatically restarted whenever you restart your computer.

7. Configure Firefox to use the proxy as follows:
   • Select Firefox -> Preferences from the Firefox main menu.

   • In the window which appears click on the "General" icon, and then on the "Connection Settings" button.

   • On the window which appears, enable "Manual proxy configuration" as well as "Use the same proxy for all protocols". In the "HTTP Proxy" field, type in "127.0.0.1" (without the quotes), and in the "Port:" field type in "8080" (without quotes).

   • If you would like to view some sites directly and not through the proxy, list them (separated by commas) in the "No Proxy for:" field.

     NOTE: you must list neomailbox.net, neomailbox.nl, www.neomailbox.net, and www.neomailbox.nl in the "No Proxy for:" field, as the NeoTunnel proxy does not proxy requests for the Neomailbox Switzerland site itself. If you don't list these domains here, you won't be able to view the Neomailbox Switzerland site once the tunnel is activated.

   • Click "OK" and then "OK" again on the main preferences window.

Now all your web requests from Firefox will go through our SSL secured anonymous surfing proxy and the results will be returned to you via the SSL secured channel.

You will be asked to supply your Neomailbox username and control panel password when you first visit a site through the anonymous surfing service.
