Atlanta GA December 8, 2003–BadBlue, a leading provider of file sharing and collaboration software, today announced the availability of its new Personal Edition software package. The package is designed to transform a home PC into a powerful Internet web server designed to share photos, videos, music and business documents securely. Its new OfficeSurfer feature provides office workers with freedom from most corporate web filtering software, avoiding monitoring and ensuring privacy. “If we’re at a client site and need unfettered access to the Internet for research purposes, OfficeSurfer lets us bypass the restrictions that normal employees have so that we can get our job done,” stated Warren Timmer, president of ISS Ohio. “Some of the corporate web filters restrict software development sites that are categorized as ‘hacker sites’. In our security consulting practice, it is crucial to have access to so-called hacker information so that we can better protect our clients.
A good article on software is getting harder and harder to find. In fact, this article may be the last one to provide you with something you didn’t already know about software.
OfficeSurfer lets us bypass web filtering so that we can do a better job.” BadBlue’s OfficeSurfer feature acts as a reformatting proxy, disguising destination URL’s and avoiding the scrutiny of most corporate logging and filtering software. By surfing to any computer with OfficeSurfer installed, corporate users can gain access to all web sites that the OfficeSurfer computer can reach. “We certainly don’t intend for OfficeSurfer to be used in violation of corporate policy, that’s clearly stated on our site (http://badblue.com/helpofs.htm),” said Brandt Ross, CEO of BadBlue. “It is intended for legitimate business usage that is interfered with by over-zealous web filtering software: a product researcher who needs complete access to the web; a consultant who needs personal email access for work-related activity; and so forth.”
While file sharing and collaboration have been hallmark features of the BadBlue products, OfficeSurfer adds an important new capability to the series of BadBlue personal server products. BadBlue Personal Edition enables a home user to share photo albums, videos, music, and any other type of media or document, thereby taking full advantage of their Internet connection.

Especially relevant for cable, DSL and other broadband consumers, Personal Edition can turn a PC into a true web server on the Internet, complete with a free domain name. BadBlue’s domain-name capability supports connections that use both static and dynamic IP addresses. Setup of a domain-name can be accomplished in a few minutes. BadBlue’s Personal Edition product is the entry-level or consumer offering, providing a rich set of features geared towards home and SOHO users. A business-focused product, BadBlue Enterprise Edition, provides additional capabilities that extend the collaborative abilities of a PC to encompass business documents and data. Enterprise Edition can publish Office documents, spreadsheets and databases to the web with a single click.
