What is Anonymous Web Surfing?
Saturday February 28, 2009
I've written up a three-part article on anonymous surfing: what it is, why you might want to learn about it, what information is available about you on the Web, how to accomplish anonymous surfing, and more. Here it is:
- Anonymous Surfing 101: What is Anonymous Surfing?
- How Does Anonymous Surfing Work: Anonymous Servers
- More Ways to Surf Anonymously: Free Anonymous Proxy Sites and Services
In your article about free proxies you don’t mention one of the biggest dangers. Free proxies may not be safe to use.
For example, the TOR network is a collection of servers around the world to enable people to surf anonymously. But who put up those servers? You can bet that the Chinese government put up some so they can track Chinese citizens who are surfing the Internet freely, something the Chinese government forbids.
While that may be the most extreme example, also consider that anything that flows through a proxy server is available to the people who hosted the proxy server. If these people have malicious intent, then anyone using their servers is at risk.
Not all free servers are dangerous. My advice is to do a little research before using any proxy server. Especially if you are doing something that you really want to keep private.
You can also surfa anonymous with http://www.vpntunnel.se/en/
surf anonymously with an encrypted VPN tunnel and vpntunnel.se. This is possible because all traffic between your computer and our servers is encrypted, we are neither the provider, employer can read this traffic.
Vpntunnel.se uses OpenVPN to achieve maximum security in the network.
From our servers located in redundant data centers with multiple Gbit connections, you will have full access to the Internet as usual, the only difference is that you now use our VPN service is fully anonymous on the Internet. There is a huge difference, because all your activities, or so-called electronic tracks no longer be linked to you personally.
We have chosen to protect the privacy of our users. We achieve this by not logging traffic that would show what a given user has at a given time. It makes that we can not disclose any such information to third parties. With this we can promise that you surf anonymously with us.
Unlike many other VPN services as we support port forwarding fully. Through the control panel, you can then monitor how much traffic you have used up, extend your account and much more.
We strive to be the best VPN service provider.
You get 100 GB of traffic for only 5 Euro.
