Anonymizer Anonymous Surfing™
Welcome to Anonymous Surfing Firewall Configurations for ZoneAlarmOur firewall sections are designed to help you configure your computer settings so that they will not interfere when you are using Anonymizer® software. Please make sure that you follow the directions for the operating system that you are using. The instructions below are only for Zone Alarm users. If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, please follow the provided link for the correct configuration directions for those firewalls.
Zone Alarm users will need to concentrate on four separate sections: ZoneAlarm Pop-ups Manual Firewall Configuration To Add a Program to the Firewall Identity Protection
ZoneAlarm Pop-ups
For all Zone Alarm Pop-up security alerts, select “Allow” and check “Remember this Setting” during the installation and activation process of your Anonymizer Software.
Manual Firewall Configuration

In the boxes next to these entries, you should see three Green Bars under the “Trust” header, “Custom” in the “Smart Defense” section and Green checkmarks for each under the “Access,” “Server.” The “Send Mail” section can have any settings you choose as Anonymous Surfing does not secure email clients such as Outlook or Thunderbird.
