Are you certain your online activities are private? Think again.
你确定你的上网活动是隐私吗?再想一想。
Not only are your surfing sessions tracked by websites, search engines and
social networks, but often your Internet provider, Web browser, government and
potentially hundreds of online tracking companies.
That said, there are a few ways to spend time online anonymously. The
following are a few suggestions.
SMART SOFTWARE
How does Facebook know to show you ads for your local gym or supermarket?
In part it's because your computer's unique Internet Protocol (IP) address,
assigned by your Internet provider, reveals your geographical whereabouts. Even
if your computer generates a different IP address every time you boot up or log
online, this number (e.g. 220.165.119.12) can still tell your general
location.
There are a variety of solutions that can hide your Internet connection,
allowing you to remain anonymous while online.
Some are websites, such as free "online proxy servers" that conceal your
identity. Simply point the Web address (URL) to the proxy server and surf right
from its website (check out proxy.org for a list of great options).
Others prefer to download Virtual Private Network (VPN) software that
encrypts your online sessions.
USB STICKS
In some cases, software to encrypt your connection is kept on a USB drive
-- so you can remain safe and secure even when using a public PC.
SurfEasy Private Browser ($69.99 one-time fee; surfeasy.com) is a tiny USB
key that fits into a credit card-shaped case to be kept in your wallet. When you
plug it into a PC or Mac -- be it your own computer or a public one -- it
instantly launches its own password-protected browser and you're good to go (no
proxy or network settings to configure).
Your browsing session is handled through SurfEasy's fast and secure private
proxy network. Your IP address will be masked throughout the session.
The company also has a new downloadable product called SurfEasy VPN that
can protect computers, smartphones and tablets.
BROWSER TWEAKS
Anonymous proxy software is a great way to mask your IP address online, but
there is still plenty of information about your Web-surfing habits stored on
your computer -- which could also be viewed over a network, say, at the office,
by your IT department.
At least it's somewhat easy to control your privacy settings directly in
your Web browser, unless your company forbids non-administrators from making
changes to your browser settings.
You can disable cookies -- tiny text files stored on your computer with
information about where you've been online, passwords and other info -- and you
should also delete your browser history to cover your tracks. All major Web
browsers -- such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari -- allow you to
delete your surfing history: Simply go to the Options or Settings in your
favorite browser and you'll see how to do this.
You might want to turn off auto-complete or someone on your computer could
type in a few letters in a search engine or Web address (URL) bar and any recent
places you visited could fill in automatically. And don't click to allow sites
to "remember my password" or someone could gain access to your private or
financial information.
