Your IP address is very important during your Internet travels. It is similar to a dog-tag your computer wears, with all sorts of information engraved. The difference is, people are supposed to read your dog-tags, but you wish to keep your IP address hidden.
Just by knowing your IP address, a hacker could find out quite a bit of information about you; location, server, etc. This is why many people choose to browse anonymously on the web.
In order to accomplish this, they visit an anonymous proxy website. A proxy website simply is a page that has a box to enter the website you wish to visit. When you enter your desired destination, the proxy server replaces your IP address with one of their servers. The proxy acts as a middleman, allows you access to the sites you want, but leaving no trail of it. All your ISP would see is that you visited (so and so proxy site) a bunch of times, and not what you actually visited. This is the simplest type of anonymous proxy.
For enhanced anonymity, we recommend using a software-based proxy that also encrypts your data and changes it IP address regularly. Either type of anonymous proxy will work, some just work better than others.
These anonymous proxies are completely legal and almost a necessity in today’s Internet-based society. With so much traffic on the Internet, criminals are just waiting in line to get some unprepared surfer. Don’t let it be you; be anonymous today.
