Advice:
All
computers connected through a network or the Internet have a digital
address similar to your telephone number. This number (IP Address) is required for
browsing, email & transactions
to occur. Computers at both ends need to know where you are and who you calling in order make the connection and interact. Just like you need to know what number to call on the telephone. Should you wish to protect your address or number and remain anonymous, a proxy service is needed to hide your identity from others.
Summary: To protect your digital address from being captured by other computers- proxy server. To allow you to surf safety and avoid profiling, email tracing and identity thief by toolbar add-ons, social networking sites, search engines and competitors. To prevent tracking of your transactions, e-mail headers, sites and pages visited by hiding your origin.
Protect your identity & surf anonymously
Anonymizer:
Applications have evolved to help protect your anonymity
by
routing
your identifiable information through other computers with a different
digital address.
Similar to a PO Box number, these other computers
(or proxy servers) use their digital addresses to forward your request numerous times and
gather the responses without revealing your point of origin or telephone number.
The key difference we have found with the Anonymizer's products
is that they use own their own secured proxy servers-
a significant investment in protecting your identity. Their
computers independently
& randomly assign new and different IP addresses- making tracing
or theft virtually impossible.
In contrast, most other anonymous services share a portion of other
people's computer resources with no control over who re-directs or
retains
your information. Using a Public or shared proxy server, does not prevent your information from being captured by their computers for various purposes. Should you sign on to let your computer act as a proxy server, unknown traffic of suspect origin can be traced back to your computer. Try explaining that to law enforcement?

1.- IP Anonymity – Your real IP address
is hidden from Web administrators and online snoops as you surf the Internet.
By shielding your IP address, people are unable to track your Internet
activities and build profiles on you. It
allows you
to surf in a secure, encrypted "tunnel" from Anonymizer to
your PC. Surfing Security uses powerful 128-bit encryption, similar to
that used by online banking sites.
2.- Anonymizer
Digital Shredder Lite- The easiest way to keep your
PC clean and running smoothly. It erases cookies, cached files, and history
archives that are left on your computer every time you surf the Internet.
It's the easiest way to protect against identity theft, erase unwanted
hidden files and data, and improve PC performance buy removing clutter.
Note: We
do not suggest the free trial since it does change the startup file
on your computer and when the trial is over the uninstall does not
change it back. This can
result in other programs thinking that there is a proxy server at work.
A proxy setting can slow or cause problems in their operation, for
example Internet Explorer, Copernic searching, etc.
Total Net Shield
Technically savvy Web users require sophisticated online identity
protection that provides them total control over their privacy. Anonymizer
Total Net
Shield works by creating an encrypted "virtual tunnel" to and
from your computer to shield you from even the most complex methods of
online spying and snooping.
Total Net Shield is similar to the secure Virtual
Private Networks (VPN) that corporations use, though designed for
personal use. By
using secure tunneling it creates an impregnable Secure Shell (SSH) connection
from your
computer to your destination site. This protects you from man
in the middle (MITM) attacks and evil twin scams.
With your Total Net Shield, you can communicate with confidence
knowing that your emails are encrypted. In addition, it keeps your
chat, instant messaging, and newsgroup communications secure and confidential.
Notes:
Subscription: Please note these applications are sold as
subscriptions, which need to be renewed on a regular basis- annually.
Performance- There can be slight delays in response
time when using an anonymous services. Your traffic
is being re-routed through Anonymizer's own computer proxy servers
prior to arriving at
your
intended
destination. You can choose easily when to anonymous or not.
Control- We have noticed that Anonymizer is the only
provider that uses only their own computers or networks. As a result,
you can control of your security, speed, random
addressing & availability are in good hands- at least in known
hands.
Other services can not assure you of where your identifiable
information could end up. They use free or rented systems with
little control over uptime, location or ownership.
Laws-
Many countries do not have
laws or regulations on data mining, information sharing, etc. In
the event
the
shared computers
are being
used for unlawful purposes, they could be seized by authorities
and analyzed. With no laws, your personal information could be sold
to
the highest bidder- like many P2P networks & torrents.
