| Free Proxy Surf |
At the end, you can ask: “with all the procedures described and explained on the pages before, do I preserve total anonymity using proxy servers, or web based proxy?” The answer is: “Yes and No”. Yes, because your IP provider has no information about the sites you visit (so if you surf from office, or from your school, there is no problem). On the other side, if you don’t want to let know to the visited sites how are you, the answer is always positive: yes, you are anonymous. However, there is a potential risk for your privacy: the proxy site that you use has information about you (it sees your identity via your IP), and has information about sites you visit. So, hypothetically, the owner of the proxy site can collect this sensitive information, and could, always theoretically, use them against you. There are lot of anxious people on the net that seriously take in consideration this remote possibility that they can be black-mailed from proxy site webmasters. Ando what they do to eliminate this threat? Using chain of proxiesThey use multiple proxies, so no one complete information about visitor and visited site. How they do it? They create a chain of proxies, sometimes more then 2. This can be done directly from some browsers, defining more proxies in the proxy box, like this: 84.1.23.12:80-_-75.123.52.11:80, specifying 2, or more proxy sites, that will be used for surfing. In this example, the browser will connect to the first proxy (84.1.23.12:80), that will connect to the second one (75.123.52.11:80), and this will call desired sites. As I almost said, not all browsers support multiple, so one can define one proxy server in the browser, and then use a web based proxy. Or simply connect from one web based proxy to another one, and only in the second one insert the URL of the site to be seen. |
