Anonimous browsing with proxy

How to Surf the Web Anonymously
with Proxies
One of the easiest ways to hide your
computer, and thus hide yourself, online
is to use proxies. Proxies act as a filter
between you and the rest of the Web.
You can, for instance, connect to the Web
through a proxy in Japan even though
you're in the United States. Here's how
to do it in a variety of browsers.

Tips
When you use a proxy, you
deliberately choose to trust the proxy
owner: (s)he can log, store and save
anything that is passing through.

A proxy is generally useful to access a
website from another country or to
encrypt things you don't want your
local administrator to see (if used at
work, school, etc.). In this case, the
proxy should allow you to encrypt the
data from and to your computer.
However, by doing so, you might
break a number of laws and/or school/
workplace rules.

An IP address is not like a real
address: knowing it won't help any
robber (real life) /hacker (on the
internet) to steal something from you.
