Are those important things for you? If yes, you have to think about your Internet connection.
Every time you surf the Internet, your IP address is publicly visible to everyone on target network resources, therefore, your actual location and even name and age can be tracked as well.
Let's start with cookies:
Cookies have become the most recognized privacy risk, because, although some organizations use cookies for legitimate purposes, there are also misuse. For example, tracking everything you visit and do on Internet, companies can create your web profile and based on this, direct publicity for your.
It is not wrong, but not desirable for most of people. The pages you read tell marketers what junk to push on you.
But, and your IP address? Can you hide it?
With a visible and public IP address you are under risks like:
- Spyware
- Web bug (HTML-enabled email)
- Social engineering
- Phishing
How can you protect your privacy?
You could use an Anonymous Proxy Servers, but, instead mannuallty configure it, you can use web based proxies, like Xoxy that make all the boring working for you, automatically.
Surf the net anonymous at school and work.

There are time when I'd love to be anonymous (just like there are times when I want to curl up with a book under a tree and ignore the world for an hour), but it's just not possible. Everywhere I go, someone wants to authenticate me. As a result, I have over 200 logins. It gets very difficult to maintain any level of privacy.
Sure would be nice though. :)
