[Greg]

Hey!

Anyone know of some good, reputable software (and preferably free) that will
allow me to surf anonymously?

Thanks,

Greg

In order to receive a file something, somewhere has to know your IP address.
You can use an anonymous proxy server but they will know your real IP
address. Google for anonymous proxy server for more info.

Using a router will give you private address but the address for your
connection will still be known. The SECOND two tools, used in tandem and
with a search for anon proxy servers, on this link will help you along with
that quest:

As has already been mentioned there's no such thing as true anonymity you'll
still be known to the proxy server for starters and anyone running a free
server is likely to quickly turn over the real logged IP address to the
authorities with a bit of mild mannered threatening. Additionally surfing
httpS (secure) sites through a proxy server owned and run by some person in
a former Soviet Block country isn't wise. Entering passwords though those
sites is also unwise - even if it's just for your email... Consider the
warning given.

Let's clear this one up right away....

There is *NO WAY* to surf anonymously. If you buy any product that claims
to allow you to do so, you are wasting your money.

You *CAN* get a router and use a proxy, but you can still be traced. There
is no way to hide your
tracks if "they" want to trace you bad enough.

There is a way. Use a computer at a public library that doesn't require
you to identify yourself to use it.
