Anonymous Internet Surfing - How To Surf Anonymously

If you care about anonymous internet surfing as I do then it makes sense to do it properly. I wonder how many people think they are moving across the internet like some ninja stealth surfer when all they've done is turn on the privacy settings in Internet Explorer. Well I'm afraid they're not, agreed they are removing some traces of web sites from their local PC but their visits are recorded and logged on their local ISP logs (kept for two years on command of a European directive), logged on the web servers they visited and then by anybody else who happened to be peeking at the web traffic travelling in clear text over their wireless connections.

If you want to see how anonymous we are next time you're using a wireless hotspot in an airport, cafe or hotel - fire up a simple free sniffer like Wireshark and see all the web sites everyone is visiting. Sometimes it can be quite a disturbing and interesting experience!


Real Anonymous Internet Surfing takes some Effort

There are so many people out to trap our data and surfing patterns, hackers, identity thieves, spammer and even our Governments. Just searching for a few free anonymous proxies on the internet is unlikely to be a great experience. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid the proxies that have been deliberately set up to trap the thrifty anonymous surfer by some Eastern European Identity thieves, you may find one of the servers which has been setup to track your surfing and then send you a deluge of targeted SPAM.

Those who find a clean anonymous proxy which does its job will eventually probably give up using it because it will be incredibly slow. All the time your every visit to every website will be logged and recorded at your local ISP - along with your emails backed up on tape and left there for who knows to see.

If you really want to have anonymous internet surfing - you need a fast secure anonymous proxy, the facility to switch proxies seamlessly with no effort, all your web traffic needs to be encrypted from the client and back again. You will then be completely anonymous online and your ISP logs will be completely secure and unreadable to anyone just like mine!
