How Good Are Anonymous Browsers Protecting My Identity and IP?
I'm using Ghost Surf. How good is it at protection my identity and IP from websites and discussion forums. Can they detect that I'm using a false IP.

- i just looked at the program. i guess it will work, but remember. their is always a paper trail left somewhere somehow. you need to read what ghost surf does.
- yea websites like that protect your identity but your not totally safe if someone was really after you they could find you but a government wouldnt do it because it takes too much time and it is to costly my favorites are vtunnel.com and xroxy.com
- anything can be detected, with the right skills and software.
- I'm not 100% certain as I only briefly scanned over the reviews on the software but, I don't think that sotfware does what you think it does. From what I gather it appears to only be encrypting client side information, i.e. browser logs, caches, etc. It will do nothing to hide your ip address or anonymize your web surfing. What you need to look into is an anonymous proxy server, there are thousands of them. Just goto google and look for one. What an anonymous proxy server does for you is, it will talk to websites on your behalf, so that any sites you goto will be logged as the proxy server and not you. There's actually different levels of proxy servers as well....elite/high anonymous, anonymous, and transparent. You want to stay away from transparent servers, they do nothing for you. Your goal should be to find an elite or high anonymous proxy server as they will offer you the greatest level of anonymity.
