How Anonymous Browsing Works

1. Anonymous Surfing - how does it work
2. Possible usage scenario
3. Automatic Anonymous Proxy Switching

   In a regular case your web browser connects to the web site directly. Thus revealing quite a lot of sensitive information. An orange arrow denotes this case in the block scheme.

   To change this situation Proxy Switcher was written. It can be used to find working anonymous proxy servers and redirect requests through them.

• If you get banned on the forum - use Proxy Switcher to fake your IP and avoid the ban.
• If you are a webmaster that wants to check Geotargetting of some sites (i.e. Google).
• Just want to hide your IP when visiting some sites which you might not want to record your IP address.

   To increase anonymity even further Proxy Switcher can periodically switch proxy servers. You can set this period down to every 10 seconds. In this mode Proxy Switcher will continually check and pick fastest available servers.

   Following fragment from webserver log shows access from 5 IP addresses. While in reality it was accessed via Proxy Switcher and real address does not even show up at all.
