Are you worried about privacy while you're surfing online? If you are then you're not alone. Did you know that every website you visit stores various pieces of information about you. The data that is collected varies, but typically the most common collected is:
- IP Addresses
- Geographical Location
- Duration of Visit
- Pages Visited
- Activity on Website
This is just a small list from the many different pieces of data that is collected about you. It's not just the website you visit, it's also your ISP that poses a problem. ISPs keep track of logs on their users Internat activity. What exactly is stored, how long it is kept, and what is done with it, varies from ISP to ISP. One thing is for sure though; your privacy is compromised.
So what can we do about this you may ask. Well there are some very simple steps you can take to protect your self from snoops while you're online. The best thing about what I about to discuss is that it is completely free of charge.
One of the best ways to protect your self is to use a free proxy server. A proxy server acts as a middle man between your computer and the Internet. It handles all data requests on your behalf, allowing you to shield your identity to the websites you visit. This means that when you visit a website it collects the details of the proxy server. It does not know you details. Because the proxy is acting as a middle man, nothing about your identity or location is passed onto the websites you are visiting.
So this allows protection on all fronts. As far as your ISP is concerned, you are visiting the proxy server and as far as the websites are concerned the proxy is visiting them!
There are absolutely hundreds of free proxy servers on the Internet that you use. The key is to finding the right one to use.
