Proxy Softwares

What is the purpose of this software?


Every computer connected to Internet has its own unique IP. IP is your Address in Internet but... not only in the web! Using your IP you can be traced even to your own home. The solution for stopping all this compromising of your privacy is to Surf Anonymously. Proxy Softwareswill not only hide your real world address but it will prevent hackers from knowing your real IP which will stop eventual attacks.


How is it working?


When you activate the program, it connects to different proxy servers and gets the most stable, fresh and fast working IP location called proxy. Then the these proxy softwares put that information in your Firefox or Internet Explorer browser. As this procedure is done you can browse with completely concealed identity.


What is transparent, anonymous or elite proxy?


* Transparent proxy - A transparent proxy anounces to the world that it’s a proxy, and passes on your information. It provides no privacy improvements.


* Anonymous proxy - An anonymous proxy offers the caching benefits of a transparent proxy, while hiding your IP address (by replacing with either the proxies IP, or a random address. The downside to this approach is that sites that use address detection to establish unique users (online games, voting, some logins) will not be able to distinguish you from others in your domain. Of course, that might be a bonus sometimes.


* Elite proxy - A highly anonymous (often known as an elite proxy) makes your system look the same as a non-proxied system (with the proxy servers IP address). This provides the best security. There’s no way to detect an elite proxy.
