To achieve anonymous without spending anything we can use open source software that available for free. We can try to achieve total anonymous using combination of software below with a simple installation and minimal modification of browser setting. Tor Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public networks without compromising their privacy. Tor works as a middle man that complete your request (url or internet connection) through a group of random selected courier (server). The connection between you and the courier and between couriers is encrypted to provide more secure environment.
Get Tor here . Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, modifying web page data, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. Usage of Privoxy as part of Tor anonymous browsing is necessary because browser leak your DNS requests when they use a SOCKS proxy directly revealing your identity. Without Privoxy it's like when you phone the person you like to ask what's she want for her birthday now and then send what she said anonymously using courier. Privoxy available for download as part of Tor package or you can get it here . Firefox Using Firefox will make it easier because only by installing Torbutton Plugin for Firefox, restart Firefox and you can start browsing anonymously.
Ofcourse if you are using other browser or don't feel like installing Torbutton on Firefox, you can always configure manually for the browser to use Privoxy.
Not Just Browsers Tor with Privoxy can be use to cloak other application that can use HTTP and Socks proxy. You only need to configure it to use Privoxy, like what we done with browser setting. For application that doesn't have any support for proxy, get FreeCap to transparently redirect internet connection from all application through Privoxy.
There you go, free anonymous browsing without spending any money, only some time to download and install all the software. |
