Did you know everytime you visit a website your IP address is recorded? Have you ever felt unsecured when surfing through the internet? You can achieve anonymity on the internet through the use of Proxy.  In this tutorial I will show you how you can manually configure your browser to hide your IP address so you can surf the net anonymously.


First you can check your IP address here.

Here is my IP according to that site. Dont worry I have a dynamic IP or my IP address change everytime I connect to the internet thats why I dare flaunt it.





You can get a list of updated proxies here.

















Usually proxies are listed by IP:PORT or for example i will be using 201.225.226.68:8080 as my proxy.
201.225.226.68 is the IP address and 8080 is the Port Number.
