Every home computer or network router is given a public IP address. Every time a web site is visited the IP address is recorded and stored in a log on the server. These logs are used to trace all Internet activity. If the IP address is hidden then web access information can be hidden. Complete concealment of the IP address is not possible as it would make online access impossible. But IP address can be hidden from most servers.Anonymous proxy servers use their IP address instead of the source IP address. The computer accesses the web sites indirectly using the proxy server. In order to use this web browser has to be configured using a URL and a unique port number. There are many free anonymous proxy servers on the web. Some of the most popular ones are WebWarper, Snoopblocker, Anonymouse, Anonymizer, Guardster, Cotse, The Cloak, IDZap, Mega Proxy, Bitesize Work, The Virtual Browser, Proxy Spinner, NoMoreLimits, and Proxify.
