Anonymizer Surfing Tutorial

Free Surfing Tutorial

Our service functions as an intermediary between you and the sites you visit. We filter out any information traveling between the web site and your computer that could be used to track or identify you. We hide your IP address, location, software configuration, and browsing habits from the sites you visit.

You can use the Anonymizer just as you would normally use your browser. The only difference is that instead of typing a web site to go to into the "Location:" (Netscape) or "Address:" (Internet Explorer) bar of your browser, you enter the web site address (URL) you wish to visit into the Anonymizer Surfing box found on our web page. The box looks like this:

FREE Anonymous Surfing
Enter a web site to visit
and press Go!
   

To start surfing, simply enter the site to visit into the box and press "Go". You will be shown a splash page that explains some of the benefits of our Premium service. After a short delay, the splash page forwards you to the site you entered.

From then on, you are surfing anonymously. Any links that you click will also be loaded anonymously. There are only two differences between "normal" surfing and anonymous surfing: first, each page you visit anonymously includes a blue Anonymizer control bar at its top; second, when you want to jump to a new web site you should type its address into this control bar rather than your browser's "Location:" or "Address:" bar. Please Note: Typing the address directly into your browser's "Location:" or "Address:" bar will cause you to go there directly, without using the Anonymizer. The Anonymizer control bar looks something like this:

Anonymous Searching

Searching the web anonymously is very easy with the Anonymizer. One way is to type the keywords to search for into the "FREE Anonymous Searching" box on our Free Surfing Page. You can also search anonymously without returning to our pages by using the Anonymizer control bar that is found at the top of each page you load through our service. Check the "Search anonymously for" box, type the keywords to search for, and press the "Find" button. (Note: If you have JavaScript turned off the button will say "Go" instead). Note that you can also search anonymously by visiting the search engines directly: simply type the address of the engine to use (e.g., www.google.com) into the Anonymizer control bar, press "Go", and use the site as you normally would!

Exiting the Anonymizer Service

There are several ways to quit your anonymous browsing session. The easiest way is simply to quit your browser. Loading a page "normally" will also cause your browser to stop using the Anonymizer. This can be done by clicking your browser's "Home," "Search," or similar button, by going to one of your bookmarks, or by typing a new web site to visit directly into your browser's "Location:" or "Address:" bar.

Premium Surfing

Premium Surfing users can log in by clicking the "Members Login" link at the top of the menu bar located on the left-hand side of all our web pages. At the login page you will be prompted to enter your username and password and select the extra features you would like active for your surfing session. These features include the added flexibility of Safe Cookies™ and the added security of URL Encryption™.

After filling out your information you can start surfing by entering a web site to visit and pressing "Go" or by entering something to search for and pressing "Find."

When visiting sites with the Premium service, you will notice that there is a Control Panel button as well as indicators of the status of URL Encryption™ and Safe Cookies™. The Control Panel is used to perform useful tasks such as switching URL Encryption™ and Safe Cookies™ on or off, logging out, and so forth. The search and jump capabilities of the Premium tool bar are the same as with the free service. The Premium tool bar is shown below:
