Use of the "TightGate-Pro Extension" for Chrome

These instructions describe step by step how the TightGate-Pro extension is installed, set up and used effectively. The extension was developed as a supplement to the ReCoB system TightGate-Pro to transfer links that link to the free Internet directly to the TightGate-Viewer.

For the TightGate-Pro extension works, it is necessary that the software TightGate-Viewer version 4.3.8 or higher is installed and configured.
The software TightGate-Viewer can be downloaded here for free: https://www.m-privacy.de/download-center/
The installation and configuration of the TightGate-Viewer is described here: https://help.m-privacy.de/doku.php/tightgate-pro:client:windows-vnc
