Anonymous Surfing Through Proxy Servers

This time, internet security is highly advanced, but not flawless. Once you connect your computer to internet, many people can see you. Web masters, web owners, administrators, up to spammers, phishers, and hackers can collect your personal identity and all the information about it for their own advantage. It is possible as your IP (internet protocol) address is a very vulnerable spot to attack. It certainly posses’ serious threats; as it can intercept your internet banking or payments, or counterfeiting your internet accounts and passwords, or other things you clearly wouldn’t like.


At this point, the need of protection in form of anonymous internet surfing is absolutely rising. When most people use the static IP address, the only way to cloak your surfing is by passing your connection through a proxy server. This works as a relay point, meaning that webmasters and hackers will see your IP address as the proxy server’s address, masking your true IP address. Which it will be useless for hackers to attack you as what they thought is you aren’t actually you. It functions as a mirror, to protect by hiding your true address and identity.


Nowadays, there are many website providing free proxy services. They are extremely helpful in your security. As you can pass your connection through their proxy servers, and charged for none. They depend their funding on ads on their website. So when more people use their proxy service, more people will see their ads. Some of them even provide you with data encryption, meaning that any information you send to internet will be encrypted, further defending your safety.


Once you tries to use a proxy server, speed become an important concern. Because when you use one, speed degradation will always occur. You can have 3% slower connection (which you will not recognize the difference); or you can experience 84% slower connection (which you will feel your connection is lost). It depends on many factors. Your and the proxy server’ connections speed play an important role here, so is your locations. Internet/website traffic also affecting the surfing speed experience. There are many proxy servers, but not all of them provide you with a fast traffic. But some of them provide you with incredibly fast connection.
