Anonymous Web Surfing
Anonymous surfing is the ability to surf the Web without being tracked. By using “sniffers” somebody could find out your IP address, cookies, what’s in your browser cache, what kind of computer you’re using…they could even connect to your hard drive and access your private files, including passwords and banking information.
Web sites and other people can sniff out information about you including your IP address. You can be found and tracked using your IP address very easily. Your IP address gives hackers an entryway into your computer.
Anonymous, or proxy, servers work by retrieving Web pages for you. They hide your IP address and other important browsing information, so the remote server does not see your information but sees the proxy server’s information instead.
Surfing with an anonymous proxy site/service is simple: all you do is enter in the URL you’d like to visit anonymously, and you’ll be able to surf leaving virtually no trace that you were ever there. Basically, when you use an anonymous proxy and enter in the URL that you’d like to visit anonymously, the anonymous proxy retrieves the pages BEFORE they are delivered to you. This way, the IP address and other browsing information that the remote server sees does not belong to you - it belongs to the anonymous proxy. When you surf the internet, your computer lets every other computer know who it is by giving away information such as your ip address, type of browser and a ton of other information. The goal is to hide all this information from other computers and this is called anonymous surfing.
