What is Nauticom Nitro?

Nauticom Nitro accelerates:

  • Web browsing
  • Web-based file transfers
  • Uploading and downloading of FTP file transfers
  • All types of email from simple web-based email systems like Nauticom Web Mail to POP3 and SMTP based email systems such as Microsoft Outlook® and Microsoft Outlook Express®

Ad Blocking
Are you tired of the constant intrusion of Internet advertising? Nauticom Nitro blocks these annoying ads to enhance your Internet experience and speed up the delivery of your requested information.

Automatic updates
With Nauticom Nitro, your software is always current. Each day when you first start Nauticom Nitro, it will check to see if any updates or new features are available. If there are, you can immediately upgrade your product or you can choose to do it at a later time.

How does Nauticom Nitro work?

Advanced Compression
By significantly decreasing the size of the information being sent to your PC, all web pages, email (web-based, POP3 and SMTP) and FTP file transfers arrive much faster than ever before.

Interleaved Intelligent Caching
Your local cache is always synchronized with the cache at our Data Centers. This synchronization ensures that in most cases, the information you are looking is already on your PC and is current.

TCP/IP Protocol Optimization
Your requests for web pages and the fulfillment of those requests are sent across a virtual connection. This eliminates the repetitive and time consuming process of establishing and terminating links which slows down the delivery of web pages.

Windows and Browser Optimizations
Nauticom Nitro tweaks PC and Windows settings for maximum performance.

How fast will Nauticom Nitro make browsing, email, ftp transfers?

Up to five (5) times the speed of a standard 56K dial-up connection - 70% reduction in amount of data sent and received.

Parental Control & Security?

Nauticom Nitro supports both "White lists" and "Black lists". For example, you can choose a "walled garden" approach where parents simply create a list of all sites their children can visit or you can take the opposite approach and create a list of restricted sites that you do not want your children to access.

Unsupported Operating Systems

Nauticom Nitro version 3.1 should not be installed on the following unsupported Operating Systems:

  • Windows 95
  • Windows NT
  • Macintosh - Nauticom Nitro will not work on any version of the Macintosh operating system.
