You probably feel uncomfortable sharing your private information with complete strangers. In fact, most people do. What they don’t realize, however, is that they send out this information everyday to people around the world, via the internet. This is because, when you visit any website, you leave behind a digital footprint in the form of your IP address. Anyone who gets your IP address can track down information about you, including your location – down to the country and even city. If they can find this information about you, they may be able to extrapolate even more if they are clever enough. People online can also see what OS you use, what type of computer, and what time you logged on.

This is why you might want to think about using an anonymous proxy server. An anonymous proxy will cloak your IP address, allowing you surf the web without anyone determining your IP address. There are many different types of proxies, and they do different things. An anonymous proxy, though, will ensure that no one online can find out your true identity.
