AlphaShield® Home Edition utilizes three technologies to achieve a level of security which surpasses all.
AlphaGAPTM technology is the first of its kind in the security market which allows the user to physically or logically disconnect or reconnect seamlessly.
IP Stealth Technology creates a two-way mirror whereby you can see everyone, but no one can see you. Even if everyone on the internet has your IP address, your computer is invisible or non-existent to everyone. You are only visible to the person whom you are communicating with in real-time.
AlphaShield's Real-time Packet Authorization uses an Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure to determine what is allowed or not allowed in your computer. Blocks all 65,536 ports in your computer, and only opens ports to IP specific destinations.

AlphaShield® Home Edition will create a tunnel between your IP addresses and the destinations' IP addresses and will only allow the requested information to enter your computer through the specified port.
