Personal Gateways (Onlink)

From Ferrous Moon Research

What are gateways?

When you register as an agent at Uplink Corporation, they will assign you a Gateway computer. A Gateway is simply a computer connected to the Internet that you have access to. The Gateway will hold all the software and hardware you will need as an Uplink agent, and can be accessed from anywhere in the world, ensuring total anonymity.

When you route through your Gateway (from your local computer), no records are kept, and anybody attempting to trace you will only get as far as your Gateway. However - to protect it's interests - Uplink will be forced to disavow all knowledge of your actions, and destroy your Gateway. You will also lose your account at Uplink.

There is a security system that will allow you to self-destruct your Gateway intentionally. You can hire a new Gateway from Uplink, and all the evidence pointing to your activities will be eradicated along with the old Gateway.

It is essential to keep your Gateway constantly updated with the latest Software and hardware, in order to cope with the missions, security systems and files at higher levels.

Auxiliary Gateways

As of Onlink 0.1.2, auxiliary gateways can be used as personal fileservers, and connections can be bounced through them. They do not replace your primary gateway if it is destroyed.

Future versions of Onlink will expand the capabilities of Auxiliary Gateways.

Upgrades

All upgrades will take place about 24 hours after ordering.
