GoAgent is a secure and privacy-enhancing application designed to protect users from malicious network activities and other threats. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a web proxy, such as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. It encrypts all traffic between the user and the proxy, making it difficult for attackers or network administrators to monitor or access the user's data. GoAgent also provides an additional layer of protection against malware and malicious websites, by blocking access to known malicious domains and IP addresses. Additionally, it can be configured to block certain types of traffic or websites, such as those with adult content, gambling, or other objectionable content. Finally, GoAgent also provides users with a secure connection to certain types of online services, such as online banking or shopping, which would otherwise be vulnerable to malicious activities.
Warning This application is suspected of malicious behavior, although these allegations are in dispute. The software allegedly connects to financial institution and government websites, and uses the PC for attacks against them. It disables SSL certificate checks and allows man-in-the-middle attacks to steal authentication credentials. It hooks into the browser and uses suspicious compression to hide parts of the program.
