CoRnMaN Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Anonymizing seems to be the answer to alot of problems. I was just wondering why I don't see more topics about it? It protects you better then firewalls plus you don't have to worry about it blocking stuff you want to get to. I've seen alot of good anonymizing software online but it all costs money. Does anyone know of some good software that I can download for free? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poiuytreza2 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 like hiding IP? I use Tor Button extension and Proxivy extension for firefox. They both work for me after a bit of fiddling around. I've tried some stuff with it and it works now :wink: but I dont think it protects enough against bad stuff on the web. Just dont try to use IE and surf as clean as possible --- Since januari/februari 2001 ---The Grand Exchange Search Extension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 A good old firewall, anti virus, updated windows and Spybot S&D has made my unti secure for years. You just don't need to anonymise. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ard_Choille Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I looked into the IP anonymizers recently but still think that these are the best ways to protect your system: * Keep Windows up to date * Use a hardware and a software firewall * Keep antivirus running and run full system scan regularly * Run Spyware/Adware scans regularly, I use freebies Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy * Clean up cache, cookies, download history, temp files and internet history regularly I hope this helps. - - My deviantART Page - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoRnMaN Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 "* Clean up cache, cookies, download history, temp files and internet history regularly" This is the reason why I want to set up a good anonomizer, so I wouldn't have to do this.

Ard_Choille Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yeah, Firefox is my default browser too. It's much better than MS Exploder...err Explorer. - - My deviantART Page - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
