Jap is a great software as not only it’s free but powerful too. HOwver, i’ve noticed that browsing becomes too slow after applying any of the anonymity services.
Mayank, you are absolutely right. Free services has this limitation. But, I am sure paid ones are different. I have tried that TEST server- JonDo, it works great.
Right, free services will always have its own limitations.
@Nirmal,
When everything is blocked at your work, people like me die for these type of services. No matter it comes with some limitation but at least they get what they looking for.
This looks great too, have to try how ever im not great at computer networking or coding, i was not able to understand the step 2 well, when you say proxy server, do i have to use a proxy server address thats available online which when u google it. u get lots of Ips that are suppsoed to be proxies or is it okay just with our LAN connections.. sorry if i sound silly !
Thanks for commenting again, Twilight.
No question is silly buddy. People encounter different types of problems and its my job to help get over each of them.
Anyways, in Step 2 I am not referring to the proxies which you get on google or any where else. It’s the proxy which you use to connect to the Internet. Check your browser’s connection settings, you’ll find there. If you are connecting to the Internet without any proxy, then leave that step. In that case it’s not necessary.
Hope, I am clear now. Please feel free to discuss more of such problems, if any.
This is nice service, of course slow speed is the main concern. Also try http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en which is similar anonymity service and also has the slowness attribute as this one(unfortunately)
Thanks Jawwad for sharing that with us. I appreciate that. I’ll check out soon.
You forgot the BASIC concept. If the admins can block sites, IMs, etc., do you think they’ll have a full-access account so that you can install apps?
If you have somehow managed to get the password of an account where you can install, this software might be good. Thanks for letting us know, though 
Rahul, thanks for sooo… many comments. I appreciate your contribution.
Keep those coming.
Buddy if your personal computer is also attached to that same network then isn’t that you have full access to your own computer? In college LAN like that of mine, we can connect our own computer to the main college n/w from our hostel rooms through connecting port. Simple!!!
OMG I’ve been trying programs like this out all day… and this is the only one that works, and also…Thank you SO MUCH for the easy plain English tutorial on how to use it. Yes, it’s a little slow… but it works great for my instant messengers!
Wow Chrisseh-chan, it’s great to know that it solved your problem. Also, thanks for leaving a comment otherwise I would have never came to know this.
Try Speed Partner service, it best for browsing. The speed of any service largely depends on the number of users using that particular service. Less users means fast speed.
how much is paid ? and is speed better ?
also is this something you can load when you need it and shut off when you dont
Click here for detailed list of available plans to access JAP paid services. Paid servers has got really good speed. You can check that on a test server- JonDo, available after installing JAP.
If you have got any other query, please feel free to ask me. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you…..
I found this software and freedom software.both working.
http://www.your-freedom.net
You’re welcome, yarthein.
Freedom is yet another software to bypass firewall and it works perfectly fine too. Only glitch is that you first need to register yourself to their website to get user name and password.
[...] times we need to unblock certain websites to gain access to some important stuffs. We all know many ways to do that. But how about actually [...]
My work browser will not let me acess the “JAP” webpage!! It falls under proxy advoidance!! Is there any other way to load the website?!
Neilreyn, if you opening the JAP website for downloading purpose, you can download the same from some other website as well. Try download.com! Check here.
Rakshit, i just chanced upon your blog while troubleshootin JAP and discovered tonnes of info!! Kudos, needless to say, you’re bookmarked!!
i was wondering if you could help with my problem: i m using a USB modem (via 3.5G)to connect to the internet, the first time i configured JAP i was ok. now i can’t seem to load a page unless i uncheck the proxy setting so i can no longer be anon. the minute i check the proxy setting 127.0.0.1:4001 i will not be able to load up any page.
Help? many thanks in advance.
@aqcmme
Welcome to Aarambh. Its good that you liked the articles. Thanks for bookmarking.
Just check whether JAP is connected or not before you try to access internet. If it’s do connected, it may be possible that the port 4001 is conflicting with some other application. Try changing the port to 4443 from configuration option and then reconnect JAP. Now your new proxy should be 127.0.0.1:4443
Report in with updates and if the problem persists we will think of some other solution.
hi rakshit,
i’m facing the same problem that Neilreyn had. the browser not let me access the “JAP” webpage (Internet Access Denied). I try your recommended site http://www.download.com/JAP and down load the JAP but the message prompt “download error setup will be aborted”. Is there any other way for me to enable my YM or gmail chat?
really need ur help…
many thanks in advance
@Hanim
That means that JAP website is blocked by your network administrator. In that case I am giving you 3 alternate links to download the software. They should work pretty well.
1.) Softpedia link
2.) Jap Official site link
3.) Another link
Its total size is around 14.8 mb. If problem pesists, reply me, I’ll tell you more alternatives.
Thanks Rakshit for your prompt reply.
I have tried all the 3 links but unfortunately none is successfull.
1)Softpedia & 2)Jap Official site link, message prompt:-
Error opening file for writing:
c:\programFiles\JAP\jap.exe
click abort to stop the installation, Retry to try again or Ignore to skip this file.
I did retry but then failure.
3)Another link – Internet Access denied
I hope there still have other solution for me
OK, don’t worry.
It seems you are able to download the file successfully but not able to install it, right? Did you install Java Runtime Enviroment(JRE) before installing JAP?
Anyways, first install JRE (download location is mentioned above in the post) and then download JAP from this location.
I have uploaded my version of JAP (the one I use) and you can get the same from above link. Just download it, no need to install. Open jap.exe file and its working abs fine.
rakshit,
have tried download and run JRE but failed. msg prompt:
this account does not have sufficient privileges to install Java (TM). Please login to an account with administrative permission.
It seems that i don’t have choice but to accept the fact that i cannot use YM huhuhuhuu…
Hanim, I got your problem. You are logging on to your system with limited access account. It may be a guest account or any other acc with limited access. Try to login with an admin acc or ask your network administrator to install JRE on your computer. Give any reason like you want it for official purpose.
Or, if you just want to access YM, I can tell one more alternative.
You can prefer web applications for this purpose. Try out these 3 sites.
1.) http://www.meebo.com
2.) http://www.koolim.com
3.) http://www.iloveim.com
Hope this will solve your problem. Still, if you have any more queries, just feel free to contact me anytime.
tell me Rakshit, if i do this, will my IP be hidden on Pidgin? or on GTalk?
if not then please please tell me how i can be sure that no one can (i m not talking about FBI type ppl) trace my IP address..
please help.
i will come back for the reply.
love

@Chhaya
Rest assured. Need not to worry. If you follow exactly the same guidelines, your anonymity will be maintained.
After you are connected through JAP, visit this site and see your IP address there (which is not your actual one). Then disconnect your JAP and your IP address should be different this time.
Enjoy!!!
But avoid any file transfer through Pidgin or GTalk. There may be chances that your exact IP may get disclosed. Don’t forget to connect all your web application with address 127.0.0.1 and port 4001.
hey Rakshit
thank a lot for the prompt reply. i did it and works just purrrrrrrfect.
one more query .. what changes do i make in my Pidgin? i have set the Gtalk properly…
shud i change the port to 4001 and the proxy setting to “environment setting”?
plz help !
love

Hello!
I’m trying to install Java but I’m not the administrator (only a guest or sg) in this machine.
When I’m run the Java installer a following msg appear:
“this account does not have sufficient privileges to install Java (TM). Please login to an account with administrative permission.”
I know, “lets try login as an administrator”
But i have no privilage.
When I’m a guest, how can i install java?
Is it possible or not?
Thank u very much! (sorry 4 the wrong english
)

Hi rakshit,
at last, i managed to open the jap… what i did was, upon run the jap file i have to save into other folder rather than program folder (because it is blocked by admin). thanks rakshit.
just curious upon open the jap file i still need to key in my network id and password. does it mean the administrator can trace me?
this is awesome!!! thanks and have a nice day rakshit!
@Chhaya
Good to know that.
Change Proxy settings to “HTTP”.
Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 4001
Enjoy!
@Hanim
Great that it finally worked for you.
You need to key in your network ID and password only for connecting to Internet. Without that you won’t be able to connect to internet.
It may possible that your network admin can trace your online activities if by chance he checks your network account details.
Just try to maintain good relationship with him. Hehe…
@TeK
Just try to install Java to some other location other than “Program Files”. It should work all fine.
i did that, but it does not let me connect. plz tell me what i put in the pidgin settings for –
1) connect port
2) connect server
3) file transfer proxy
4) proxy type
5) host
6) port
i know i m asking too many things, but i wanted it to be clear so that i dont have to bother u again.
Hi Rakshit,
i tried using 4443, didn’t work. Something must be wrong from my service provider. as long as i used a proxy server i couldn’t connect.
hi rakshit,
I am bit curious and would like to know if I used this method will it increase the network traffic?
FYI, I only used this for chat purposes (using ebuddy or webYM)
thanks in advance
@Hani
If you are using it for chat purposes then it is not a problem. But certainly if you use any bypassing software, it will surely give your full priveleges on the network. So, your network traffic may get a bit increased. Avoid downloading anything. It will work just fine. No one will come to know about that.
rakshit,
thanks for the explanation! Yup definitely I avoid doing all the downloding.
YOU SEEM TO WELL VERSED IN THESE AREA’S AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO GET MORE INFO.
I´m getting the “error contacting the JonDonym information service”
What should i do??
So when using applications how would I use JAP? There are no places to change any network settings. I don’t want to use JAP for IE or anything, just one certain program.
The korean government recently blocked magic use. Will JAP allow me to bypass their block and use my magic jack again? If so how do i do it?
After selecting DRESDEN-DRESDEN service JAP is showing a message of “connecting” for a long time. How much time does it takes to connect. Please Help!!
hi my problem is too. I´m getting the “error contacting the JonDonym information service”
What should i do??
Ok so does this product work with the Magic jack. will i bea ble to bypass the ports which are closed that my ISP is blocking. I have tried to ummm persuade them into unblocking these ports 5060 5070 UDP but with no success. SO i am trying to find a program where i can bypass these blocks or go around them completely. If u have any suggestions on how to go about this it would be very gratly appreciated.
hi! i would like to ask if this JAP can allow applications like uTorrent to bypass firewalls. thx
JAP connects quickly if you have good internet connection. If it does not connect then try anyother free server from list.
