1Decide what method to use to hide
your IP address. The most common
way that people choose to do this is by
using a proxy server, which can be
obtained in a number of ways. The
proxy functions by allowing access to
the Internet through an indirect
method, to keep the computer user's
identity semi-private.
2Choose one of the proxy websites on
which you can browse the Internet.
(See Resources for options.) Proxify
allows you to browse and choose
additional options, such as removing
your cookies, ads and scripts. It offers
a premium version as well. New Hider
is a service available that offers basic
browsing capabilities. It is limited since
it doesn't offer any extra settings to
modify. Masking IP Address functions
similar to New Hider, in allowing you a
basic browsing experience behind a
proxy.
3Install a proxy server software. The
downfall to these is that you must
make a one time purchase of the
product or pay an annual fee to use
them. But they usually offer more
options than free services and are also
quite a bit faster. GhostSurf is one of
these programs that allows you to
browse the Internet anonymously. The
main method that GhostSurf
accomplishes this is by scrambling
your IP information when you
communicate with websites.
Anonymizer is another program that
works as a proxy. It functions as a
gateway between your computer and
the website. It is a mediator that server
to keep your identity private. Hide-My-
IP sends a fake IP address to the
website, masking your identity to any
websites you visit.
Tips & Warnings
No fool-proof method exists to keep
your identity completely private on the
Internet. A proxy assists in keeping
your identity private
