The Best Ways to Surf the Web Anonymously

The Best Ways to Surf the Web Anonymously

Use the Settings on Your Browser

There are a few options to surf the web anonymously. If you're using a shared or public computer, the first step is to use Private Browsing mode by choosing this option on your browser settings. 
You should also go to the settings on your browser to opt out of tracking. This asks websites not to access your location information, but you’re going to have to hope that they honor your request. Installing an anti-tracker browser plugin blocks tracking cookies so that your location stays hidden. While you’re there, check that you don’t have some Java or Adobe Flash plugins enabled which leak your details to snoopers.

Delete Cookies

You should also set your browser to delete all cookies at the end of every session so that someone using the computer after you won't discover your personal details through autofill. Deleting cookies also stops websites from sending you those annoying tracking ads.


Use TOR

One of the safest ways to use the internet anonymously is by using a TOR browser. This redirects your internet activity through a deeply nested series of TOR servers so that anyone trying to connect your internet activity to your personal details will only be able to see the IP address of the final node. TOR browsing is very secure, which is why it’s often associated with the dark web that houses illegal sites. The downside to using the TOR is that it is likely to slow down your browsing speed quite a lot.

Use a Proxy Server

There are many proxy servers out there that let you browse the internet anonymously and often for free. If you use a web-based proxy server, you don't need to download anything. You just visit the web proxy site and then type in the URL you want to visit on the site. Essentially, the proxy site retrieves the data from the website you want to visit and then sends it to you so that anyone trying to track your activity will see the https://www.ritavpn.com/blog/what-is-my-ip/ of the proxy site instead of your own.
Proxy sites are easy to use and usually free, but they are not always effective. Many websites detect web-based proxy servers and block access to them. There’s also the danger that you’ll be taken in by a honeypot site that pretends to be a secure proxy server but actually steals your data, instead.

Use a VPN

The best and safest way to surf the web anonymously is to use a VPN, or virtual private network server. A VPN is different to a web-based proxy server because you download the proxy and it operates only on your device. You still need to choose a reliable and trustworthy VPN service.
