# Changing the Rules...

Introducing the fastest, safest, and most reliable internet secure web gateway for your company. With dope.swg, internet security checks are performed at your machine, bypassing datacenters which results in **faster**, **safer**, and more **reliable** performance.

The typical use-case is to prevent access to harmful websites and programs by blocking them in a company-defined policy. However, with legacy SWGs this means sending your information to a third-party datacenter *before* you visit a website, creating a degraded internet experience.

When you install dope.swg, there is no waiting — the controls take place on your machine. There are no stopovers datacenters. It’s fully customizable: you decide where users can go with integrated anti-malware, cloud app controls, and user-based policies.

#### No stopovers, no waiting. It’s a first-class direct flight every time.

### What makes dope.swg better than legacy SWGs?

Like taking a flight, using the internet should be a relaxed experience. Wait times, stopovers, and check-ins are all headaches you don’t need. Using dope.security lets you fly direct to your destination — in first-class.
