Surf Invisibly - Use an Anonymous IP address when surfing the web!

Your IP address tells everyone who you are, where you’re located, your system info, what kind of Windows you use, your browser, etc. An anonymous IP hides your IP by using an Anonymous address and makes you invisible to everyone. Even spywares and bugs get onto your system and retrieve info about you bycapturing your IP address. So surfing anonymously helps to prevent these unwanted spywares and bugs. Here’s how.

You can browse anonymously by making use of a proxy server. So the first step is to find a good proxy server. You can use google to search for proxy servers. Here is one place where you can find a huge collection of proxy servers. The list is spread over several pages. Go through the list and select a proxy which has atleast 97% to 98% of uptime and preferably in a location close to you. Once you have made a choice of proxy server, carry on with the following steps depending on which browser you use.

For Internet Explorer

1. Click on the Tools menu in Internet Explorer.
2. Open up ‘Internet Options‘.
3. Click on the ‘Connections‘ tab on top.
4. Click on ‘LAN Settings’.
5. Put a check-mark where it says PROXY SERVER.
6. In the Address box, copy and paste the IP address listed
   on the proxy list (for example: 148.244.150.58 - These are
   the numbers shown BEFORE the ‘:’ (semi-colon).
7. Copy and paste the port number into the PORT box (for
   example: ‘80′ - the number immediately after the
   semi-colon).
8. Click OK, and OK again to close, and close everything.
9. Go ahead and open up your browser and try surfing the
   internet to test.

Thats it! You are now surfing invisibly!

For the Firefox browser:

1. Open up the browser and go to ‘TOOLS‘ then ‘OPTIONS‘.
2. Go to ‘GENERAL‘ on the left, then click the ‘Connection
   Settings’ button below.
3. Choose ‘Manual’ proxy config from the choices.
4. Check the ‘use the same proxy’ checkbox.
5. In the ‘HTTP Proxy’ box, copy and paste the anonymous IP,
   and the PORT number in the PORT box (remove the zero first).
6. Click OK, then OK again to close.
7. Now test your browser by surfing the web.

You are now invisible.

Note - if your browsing gets super slow or has a problem, look for another IP and Port number on the list and try again. Most of the time the proxies from Mexico work best. Happy surfing!
