Proxy Your Way to Online Anonymity


Whatever your reason for desiring anonymity, you’ll find it hard to make yourself truly traceless on the web. Even if you refrain from signing in to any services, your IP traffic is logged almost everywhere you go. Even if you’re not worried about Big Brother, this can be disconcerting.

This masks your IP address using a virtual detour that makes it appear that your connection is originating from somewhere else in the world, like Brazil or China. Here’s how to set yourself up for backdoor browsing.
