Surf the Web Anonymously and Protect Yourself from Identity Theft

Commonly people think that by turning on the privacy setting of their web browsers or by installing antivirus they can move through the internet anonymously without anyone able to steal information from them, These methods offer some privacy but not like the one required to totally mask your identity online. Browser can help to delete cookies sent by sites to your computer in order to get information from you.
The ISPs and every website you visit keep a log of your IP address, if someone is able to hack into these logs can get your IP address and use it against you. The IP address of any system contain personal information of the user, making it a unique number which no one shares with you, because it is unique, it can serve as a homing number on you.

So if you want to surf anonymously you need to mask your IP address, a common method in hiding your IP is through free proxy sites (for example Hiload.pk) which can act as a barrier between your IP address and very websites you visit. There are identity thieves who are trying to establish your browsing pattern with your internet protocol address so they can pounce on your personal information, such as credit cards number, name address and other pin number, as you release them online.

The use of web proxy like Zalmos Facebook has also increased, when colleges and workplaces are blocking certain websites in their network, the users are using web proxy to access these websites in their office or college. The way is same as with privacy, the network administrators block the users with help of IP address and with help of Web Proxy for YouTube user can access these blocked websites by masking their IP address.
