Why Anonymous Web Surfing Is Something You Should Want To Try

By Garrick Maxwell

Beware! Web surfing will no longer ensure your safety. Your system being free from any viruses is not anymore a guarantee that the information about your computer's IP address, location, browsing history and all other details will leak out. If your computer is supportive of certain programs such as finger or identity, it is very easy for hackers to find your computer name or worse, your name itself!

If you are really worried about this problem then there is a reason to rejoice. This is the kind of net surfing known as the anonymous web surfing. Generally when you input any information it goes to the host server of the sites and the hackers are experts in intercepting this before it reaches the servers.

There are hackers who can intercept the data packets of these websites and use them to reach at your personal details. But you need not worry. Anonymous web surfing can lessen the risk of your details being leaked. The provision of an anonymous internet proxy server will substitute your IP address with their own thereby hiding your address. Anonymous web surfing will not guard your computer completely against the hackers. But the advantage is that the job of infiltrating into your private territory becomes an arduous task.

Though running a free anonymous proxy might seem to be a brilliant idea. But there are some points to be noted. The proxy service can cost you a fortune. It occupies a lot of bandwidth which might lead to additional expenses. On the top of it, if the proxy service is not properly configured, the whole attempt for privacy might get arrested.

The shopping websites have servers to track down your shopping habits by entering into each and every activity you perform in the internet. You are equally prone to danger when you download various software tools from internet. Only anonymous web surfing can protect you from the all-powerful hackers. - 31498
