PROXY SURFING: THE ANONYMOUS WAY TO GET AROUND THE WEB When surfing the net at the local coffee shop or checking your bank balance at work, have you ever wondered if anyone else is looking over your virtual shoulder? Many people are unaware that every time a website is accessed, even from home, your movements can be tracked and private information about you is captured. For a solution, consider proxy surfing.

An anonymous way to privately browse internet websites, a proxy server acts as a buffer between your computer and the web site you visit. How anonymous your surfing remains, however, depends upon which anonymous proxy server service you choose. Some may keep your IP address completely anonymous, while others may still transmit it to the proxy server you are using. Anonymous surfing has become popular among students and office workers because it allows the user to bypass any censoring firewall put in place by IT departments.

Fully research any anonymous web proxy services you are considering, to be sure you understand what they will do for you, and to ensure the company is reputable. Typically, you can expect an anonymous proxy server to also remove cookies, banners and pop-ups, plus secure information. Some anonymous web proxy services are free, while others come in the form of computer software programs tied into a subscription service. Some offer anonymous surfing as a free service, but offer a choice of additional services with a fee. To preserve your privacy and protect your identity, proxy surfing is a simple solution.
