Hi,

Sorry that I'm a lay person

I heard that if I use a free anonymous proxy server to connect the internet instead of a direct connection, it would be more safe against hackers.

Is that true, an do you recommend it?
Any specific proxy recommand?

The thing I do not understand is:
When I surf by this free anonymous server, and go for example to a site where I nedd to submite user name, passwars, credit card number etc',
don't they get those numbers and information, I mean those who run this free anonymous server?

Thanks

Yes They Can. I read an article about the proxy's, and a lot of them maintain a certain amount of information about your surfing habits and other internet based activities. It started as a great idea, and turned into something else.

I wouldn't use it. People have different Idea's about it, but I can't see how channeling my information through someone else is more secure... unless I know and trust them with whatever I'm passing through them.

Hey,

I found an outstanding way to secure what you do online. Just recently, Google came out with Wifi in the San Fransisco area, and they distributed software to secure peoples connections. It also seems to work for non-wireless connections. You can download it at...

wifi.google.com/download.html

Good Luck,
Avrom
