ANONYMIZER SERVER AVAILABLE FOR COMMERCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Infonex now licenses the Anonymizer to service providers, colleges,
and businesses on the Internet. Running the Anonymizer as the local
proxy server, an organization can protect all its web users from sites
which harvest personal information and track viewer interest.
All web users can protect themselves with personal Anonymizer
accounts, but now, organizations of every size can license the
Anonymizer as their proxy server. All people connected through a
server running the Anonymizer can be protected from magic
cookies (used to track a viewer), from Java and Javascript access to
browser and hard drive information, and from usage tracking by I.P.
address.
Lance Cottrell, President of Infonex, wants to see anonymity become
standard practice on the Internet. "In the future all transactions on the
net will be anonymous by default. You will decide when and to whom your
information is given. I beleive technology, not legislation, is the solution
to the privacy crisis."
Infonex promoted anonymity on the Internet since its inception in
1996. Other anonymous services include web publishing space,
anonymous dialup access, and free anonymous e-mail with Mixmaster.
Cottrell and Infonex provide tools for political and religious reform,
whistle blowing, and free speech to the world.
"The importance of anonymity and privacy in this increasingly
networked age can not be overstated," says Cottrell. "The Supreme
Court's decision to overturn the Communications Decency Act
shows the Internet is an unprecedented medium for free speech.
When a connection service installs the Anonymizer, it provides the
benifits of privacy and free speech to all its users with unmatched
speed and simplicity. The Anonymizer server license is the most cost
effective way to ensure privacy for your entire organization."
