About Anonymizer Private Surfing
Here we’ll talk about our classic, web-based anonymous surfing service. If you’re looking for help or info about the Anonymizer Privacy Toolbar or the Anonymizer Privay Button, click here.

Surfing on the Internet exposes you to many online threats that you can see and many online threats that you can’t see. 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, and online threats that may be lurking in cyberspace.

How to use Anonymizer Private Web Surfing (Paid Version)
Anonymizer Private Web Surfing is used in the same way that you would use your Internet browser’s “Address:” or “URL;” box. With Anonymizer Private Web Surfing we provide our own “Address:” or “URL;” box, to ensure anonymity while surfing the Internet.

To begin your Internet surfing session as an Anonymizer member:

First; log into your account by typing your username and password into the designated fields, as shown in the figure below. This member login page is located on Anonymizer’s home page on the bottom left corner.
After entering your username and password into the member login field’s, press GO. You will be automatically directed to our anonymous surfing URL address box as shown below:

Surf Anonymously:
In the space listed after http:// type in the Web site address that you wish to view. ATTENTION USERS: When you click "GO" after you have typed in the URL address that you wish to view, you may see a warning from Internet Explorer that you are "redirected to a page that is not secure." YOU CAN DISREGARD THIS WARNING and click 'OK'. You are still completely protected by Anonymizer. Click here to find out more.

Once Anonymizer has taken you to the URL that you entered into “Address:” or “URL;” box above, you are surfing anonymously.
Look for the blue Anonymizer control bar at the top of the page you are viewing. An example of this tool bar is below.
When you want to jump to a new Web site you should type the URL into the control bar rather than directly into your browser’s “Address:” or URL: bar.

PLEASE NOTE: Typing the URL directly into your browser’s “Address:” or URL: bar will cause you to go there directly, without using Anonymizer private Web surfing.
