The internet is not the club it used to be. There are many more people using it, and some with bad intentions. It is more important than ever to be guarded online, and luckily, you don’t have to have a doctorate in Computer Sciences to do so.

One must always be wary of their ISP. The ISP has a meticulous log of all internet activity done while under them and every website has a log of every IP that visits them. By using an anonymous proxy, your ISP won’t have a log of sites you’ve visited because it won’t have been under them, and the website will log the proxy’s IP, and not yours when you visit.

A proxy is definitely the perennial solution to these privacy issues. One must be careful when using the abundance of free ones out on the internet. These proxies can often not provide satisfactory protection and anonymity, and can also be move an terribly torpid pace.

One alternative to proxies is the use of TOR. This is essentially the same as a proxy, but it advised that these are not secure; they are often run from outside the U.S. and could get away with some shady business that proxies in the U.S. could not.

Once you selected a suitable proxy, you must also find an encryption tool. That is unless the anonymous proxy you choose uses encryption.
