How to be anonymous on the internet

[RedAlert]

Hi,

 

Could you please give me some tips? Please keep in mind however I prefer solutions that are free much more than ones I have to pay for.

 

Thanks.

use a email like yahoo from a public computer (with a new account everytime) , never use your real name, never buy anything, never request anything, and probaly a lot of other things

Use A Proxy. A good one is "Proximitron". Maybe switch to Linux O/S. Never save passwords on your pc, as if your pc is comprimised, they can also be easily stolen. Never give out your private information. Always have an antivirus, also a firewall, prefarably a NAT firewall. Always update your O/s whether it be *unix, Windows, or etc.

Where do I get an IP blocker from?

 

Are there any good free ones available?

I prefer proxies, especially when i am getting my free, legal downloads. http://www.secure-tunnel.com is a good free one. So is proxify.com.

There's this thing called TOR. I'm so pleased w/ it that I run it as a server. I could not, however, get it to work very wll over P2P.

 

IP blockers only block certain ranges. If all you want to do is share peacefully, all you need is something like peerguardian. It works great w/ your iptables. Proxies in general aren't gret for file sharing but work jsut fine for most other things. A lot of proxies (mostly pay) will even cache popular files. I think TOR does something like that as well; I lowered it to a gig on my system.

 

PS: You can always use somebody elses system. Windows users never seem to find out, unless you use their AOL account. But honestly, who wants to use somebody elses dial-up anyway?

Can anyone veryify secure-tunnel as a good, working anonymizer?
