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, click here.

Surfing on the Internet exposes you to many online threats; some you can see, and some you can't. 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.

What Anonymizer Private Surfing does to protect you:

One click and you're completely private
Keeps your internet address unlisted
Stops Popups
Keeps cookies and web bugs off your computer
Prevents "personal profiling" by marketers
Stops hackers and other internet threats

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 top right corner.
After entering your username and password into the member login fields, press GO. You will be automatically directed to our anonymous surfing web 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 web 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." DISREGARD THIS WARNING and click 'OK'.

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.

The easiest way is to simply quit your browser.
