Your Online Privacy Protection Resource

While surfing the Internet, your privacy is the most important thing for your online safety. Confidential information, such as your IP local address or simply your IP address can be used by hackers to enter your system and install spyware, trojan viruses and other malicious software!

Do you use antiviruses and firewalls? Firewalls and antiviruses cannot protect you entirely from unwanted intrusions!

Do you think you are protected well enough? Have you ever wondered if...

• Are you really protected?
• Are your IP and local IP really hidden by your firewall/antivirus?
• Can intruders enter your system by determining your IP address?
• Is your business secure enough?

Below is a simple demonstration showing how easily a hacker could gain access to your system:

You are NOT protected! Threat level: SEVERE

How is my information revealed?
The confidential information we easily traced, such as your IP and local IP address, can also easily be traced by hackers, and used for spoofing, antiphishing, introducing spyware into your computer

How can I protect my privacy and my computer?

Proxy Servers
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing. They accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called “cache”. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately. The overall increase in performance may be very high. Also, proxy servers can help in cases when some owners of the Internet resources impose some restrictions on users from certain countries or geographical regions. In addition to that, among proxy servers there are so called anonymous proxy servers that hide your IP address thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it.

Anonymous Proxy Servers
Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address and thereby prevent unauthorized access to your computer through the Internet. They do not provide anyone with your IP address and effectively hide any information about you and your reading interests. Besides that, they don’t even let anyone know that you are surfing through a proxy server. Anonymous proxy servers can be used for all kinds of Web-services, such as Web-Mail (MSN Hot Mail, Yahoo mail), web-chat rooms, FTP archives, etc.

Why Should You Use Anonymous Proxy Servers?
Any web resource you access can gather personal information about you through your unique IP address – your ID in the Internet. They can monitor your reading interests, spy upon you and, according to some policies of the Internet resources, deny accessing any information you might need.

You might become a target for many marketers and advertising agencies who, having information about your interests and knowing your IP address as well as your e-mail, will be able to send you regularly their spam and junk e-mails.

A web site can automatically exploit security holes in your system using not-very-complex, ready-made, free hacking programs. Some of such programs may just hang your machine, making you reboot it, but other, more powerful ones, can get access to the content of your hard drive or RAM. Everything a web site may need for that is only your IP address and some information about your operating system.

Using an anonymous proxy server you don't give anybody any chance to find out your IP address and any information about you and use them in their own interests.
