“Being nameless or unidentifiable”. When we are browsing the internet, we are identifiable by “IP Address” and our “Browser header/HTTP header”. Firstly, get Firefox, and this extension. User Agent Switcher allows you to change.. well, your user extension. I recommend either making one up entirely or just randomising them at certain points in the day. Secondly, get the stable Tor package from here. Follow the instructions for installing it here. Get TorButton for Firefox, and you’re ready to go. You can check your IP address here before enabling Tor, and again after enabling it, to make sure it’s different. There are other type’s of proxies to port; for instance, web based proxies such as Proxifier.co.uk. Essentially, a webbased proxy will load the site onto it’s server, and you will load it from their server. These are better for people who wish to bypass a network blocklist at college or their workplace, as they require no installation and no ports to be forwarded.
