Do You Need to Surf Anonymously?
An anonymous reader writes "Computerworld has up an article entitled 'How to Surf Anonymously without a Trace'. It purports to offer tips on how to avoid detection by anyone attempting to monitor your internet access. 'If you don't like the limitations imposed on you by [proxy] sites like the Cloak or would simply prefer to configure anonymous surfing yourself, you can easily set up your browser to use an anonymous proxy server to sit between you and the sites you visit. To use an anonymous proxy server with your browser, first find an anonymous proxy server. Hundreds of free, public proxy servers are available, but many frequently go offline or are very slow. Many sites compile lists of these proxy servers, including Public Proxy Servers and the Atom InterSoft proxy server list.'"

I dont care what your textbooks tell you, I am telling you what the cops, feds and investigators are using. and they are using your MAC address.
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
I'm not part of the problem. Thank you for backing up your insult with specifics or examples. Is all of what I said rubbish? Of course you are entitled to your opinion, however, to me, you are incorrect.
Mean what you say...say what you mean.
