Surf Online Anonymously Free

[Wesley Godinez]

About3.8 billion people are online every day. From sharing content to collecting data for organizational purposes, there are about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data being processed by Google every day. Not all data is available to all people around the world. For example, a show on Netflix in one country may not be available in another country. This is due to restrictions and copyrights imposed by the government of the respective country. Web proxy is the easiest way to access all restricted content without having to install any kind of software.

A web proxy allows you to browse the web anonymously and unblock your favorite websites without installing software, like a VPN. Our web proxy is free and supports the most popular websites, such as YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and adult entertainment websites. All your traffic is encrypted while browsing to make sure you stay anonymous.

A Web Proxy has its own IP address, which acts as the intermediary between the user and the internet. Once the user requests information online, the request is routed via a web proxy, the web proxy retrieves the information from the targeted website, then sends it to the user. This way the user's local IP address is masked.

For an average user, a web proxy helps to access the restricted content behind geoblocking in websites and streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. This is carried out without compromising the internet connectivity speed. With Proxyium, you can surf restricted websites without annoying ads and other constraints. Simply paste the URL or type the website name and you will be directed to the website home page. It's that quick and simple.

The second aspect of the need for web proxy is to improve network performance. For example, let us say that you visited an XYZ website in the morning. The web proxy saves the data from the webpage temporarily, so when you visit it again in early noon, it actually serves you a copy of the webpage and reduces the latency.

Web proxy servers and VPNs both act as an intermediary between the user and a website. Web proxies and VPNs both receive a request from the user, get a response from the targeted websites, and route it to the user again. The main differences between proxy servers and VPNs are how they work and which protocols they support, which affects their privacy and security capabilities.

VPNs are typically configured at a system level, allowing all traffic to pass through them, i.e., web browsing, music streaming, file sharing, or gaming. Many VPN software solutions allow users to exclude selected apps from operating through the VPN, but the default settings usually direct all traffic through them.

On the other hand, a web proxy can be accessed directly from the browser and does not require software installation. However, the disadvantage is that a web proxy can only open websites and can not mask your IP address for other applications on your device. A web proxy is ideal if you quickly need to visit a blocked website without downloading any type of software.

No, a web proxy uses cache memory, which stores the data temporarily about the webpage you visited. If you want to visit that webpage again, the web proxy provides you with a copy of the webpage, which reduces the latency.

If you are a person who does not want to install dedicated software on your computer for simple web surfing, a web proxy is the best solution for you. Our web proxy provides you the best access to all the restricted sites without compromising on qualities like internet speed and connectivity.

Recently I have thought more and more about how to make my Internet traffic anonymous. Not for illegal reasons, but just to stop leaving information about me. The methods I know of to anonymize my browsing are services like proxies and VPNs.

I have thought about going the VPN way with services like CyberGhost VPN or vpntunnel.se. As far as I know the problem with proxies is that only http and https traffic will be hidden, but as soon as I use another program than my browser the traffic is not anonymous.

I thought about installing VirtualBox on my Windows 7 system, then running an Ubuntu Linux VM. I would then install the VPN client on the VM. Does that make sense? I am primarily concerned about the risk of virus infection on Windows.

Tor does provide a decent level of anonymity but creates its own set of problems, in particular Tor users are a frequent target for traffic sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks due to compromised exit nodes (see How much can I trust Tor?), so I don't recommend it.

Instead of Tor you can use I2P, which does not suffer this vulnerability because it uses a predefined exit node (or the one you manually choose), and the exit nodes are usually well-maintained servers, so they're way less likely to be malicious or compromised.

VPN is easily tracked down by traffic analysis - tracking packet sizes, network lag and timings, etc. Tor is more resilient to that, and I2P is supposed to be even more resilient but it was not yet investigated as thoroughly as Tor was. Cryptohippie VPN also takes traffic analysis into account and adds additional layers of protection against it.

A web browser is ridiculously easy to track using browser fingerprints, even you've disabled cookies, JavaScript, and everything else you can disable. Panopticlick explains what browser fingerprints are and demonstrates just how easy is, and it's not nearly complete - BrowserSpy.dk lists much more ways of tracking.

Here's one simple scenario to consider. Every time you browse the web without an anonymity network, the browser fingerprint is sent out there from your real IP. The fingerprint-IP pair can be recorded. If you browse the web with an anonymity network later, your browser fingerprint stays the same - others can still recognize you. Moreover, they may have your real IP address recorded. You're no longer anonymous.

In fact, this is not limited to web browsers. Other applications may have a fingerprint too (e.g. BitTorrent clients do), but they are not researched as thoroughly as web browsers were. If you're going to use an application via an anonymity network, be cautious about its setup and make sure it goes into the anonymity network right away, without contacting with the "non-anonymous" Internet even once. Otherwise your attempts at anonymity are in vain.

To avoid disclosing your IP by fingerprinting and not bother remembering which app should be anonymous and which should not (while every mistake is grave), I recommend running anonymity-oriented Linux distros, like Tails or Libert. This way you'll be sure which programs are anonymous and which are not, and they won't be able to leak their fingerprints into the "non-anonymous" Internet because these distros explicitly prohibit any non-anonymous communications. It's possible to run them in a VM, but better do on a dedicated machine to avoid hardware-based fingerpriting and use better random number generators.

Finally, tracking may be not application- or instance-specific; user accounts on websites uniquely identify you (duh). If you want to stay anonymous, you have to access your user accounts via an anonymity network either always or never. The easiest way to do this is to establish a different identity for anonymous browsing.

Remember, you are tracked. You can reduce tracking, but not defeat tracking. And you leave a lot of info about yourself as you browse, from what your interests are to what places you visit to where you live. For example, search engine history tells a lot about you and sometimes can uniquely identify you. Some other websites collect A LOT of info about you or force you to disclose it, and what's worse, they often disclose it to third parties.

For a start, use an anonymous search engine: ixquick, startpage.com (anonymous Google with slightly outdated data), DuckDuckGo or run a local seeks instance to be sure. There are some search engines available inside I2P network too.

Online map services are not necessarily evil, but they get important info about you. I'm not aware of any anonymous map services, but of course I recommend avoiding Google Maps. Perhaps OpenStreetMap tracks less or doesn't track, but I haven't checked.

Finally, try to reduce tracking. Use a browser that supports DoNotTrack HTTP header and enable DoNotTrack headers in settings. Use some tracking-blocker browser extension. Use Mozilla Collusion to analyze and disable tracking. Use DNSCrypt if you don't want your ISP to know which websites you visit, or at least don't forget to check for DNS leaks if you're trying to use a custom DNS server without encryption. Remember you're being tracked at all times, no matter what you do to get rid of it. Read privacy policies. Be paranoid.

If you want to anonymize then use the Tor network, but you'd have to make sure you aren't signed into anything, you've cleared your cookies beforehand, and you don't sign into anything while on the Tor network... that's how you allow yourself to stay anonymous.

As stated in our terms of service and privacy policy our service is not to be used for illegal activity, and as a legitimate company we will cooperate with law enforcement if we receive a court order (equivalent of a subpoena in the US).

So a VPN will work for most legal use, but might not stand up against an investigation by the authorities. It is not just "talking about vpns" that might lead authorities to know who you rent a VPN from, but also paper trails such as payments to the company.

I like to run an instance of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or 2008 on Amazon AWS. You can remote desktop into an running instance and surf the web anonymously. Your IP address will change every-time you start your instance.

In the FREE vs. PAID matter, its is important to understand that most legit businesses will offer 7 days of free trial, but a free connection on a indefinite period of time is sure to get its profit elsewhere; in ways that can harm your security and defeat the whole purpose of having a VPN in the first place.
