DellComputerWhen you surf the Internet to find information about you if you do not want to advertise who you are. This also applies if your system contains no virus or malware. In particular, the information easily accessible on the Internet to your IP address, your country (and often more location information based on IP address) of computer system in the browser you are using, your browsing history and other information. It gets worse.

People can name your computer, and even reveal your name if your machine supports programs like finger or identd. Cookies can also track your habits as you move from machine to machine. How can you get this basic information about you? At a second site, the information you can reach. In principle, data collected and used by others to control the Internet.

How can I prevent this? First, it is possible to serf the web anonymously and thereby stop leaving a trail for others to find. Note that this is not certain, but it seems much harder for people to know who you are. There are products called anonymous proxy servers that help to protect. Anonymous proxy server replaces your Internet address for you. This has the effect of hiding the IP address and make it more difficult for people to follow you.

This anonymous proxy server? There are many vendors who sell anonymous proxy servers. There are also free proxy servers available. Two products are Shadow Guard and Star Surf. Star Guard (http://www.guardster.com/) offers various services for anonymous and secure access to the internet, some paid and free service. Shadow Surf (http://www.shadowsurf.com/) Shadow Surf offers surf anonymously on your website for free. Go out and find the box for the URL you want to bring any action. There are many others but here are two commonly used. Another interesting product, since the latest news about Google search engine filtering its findings to the Chinese government (Anonymizer http://www.anonymizer.com). This company, among others recently (February 1, 2006) urged that “the development of a new solution to fight against censorship, which will enable Chinese citizens to safely access the complete free internet filter” (http:// www . anonymizer.com / consumer/media/press_releases/02012006.html).

Is a anonymous proxy server you 100% sure? But you are much better if you use such technology. What else should I be worried when they try to keep my information private?

Three other things to think when they try to keep your personal information.

Firstly, you can use an encrypted connection to hide your surfing. This article goes into detail, but also to search online and find lots of information.

Secondly, delete cookies after each session.

Third, you can delete your browser, Javascript, Java, and active content. This leads to restrictions in effect, you must therefore take into account the cost of this approach.

Anything else? We wish you a safe and happy surfing!
