The fastest way to surf anonymously is to go to your local library and use their computer. Our library system requires a library card, however; you can use one of the many guest passes available. To ensure more privacy, try a neighboring suburban library. This way,what you searched for is not on your home computer or locality.

Maybe you should include something about tunneling and Tor to your articles. Read about some tools based on it.
