Anonymous Proxy Servers and Privacy

Just thought I would throw this out there.

There may be times when you don't want a site to know your IP address. There are ways to surf anonymously. I'll list somes sites below, they are proxy servers. You enter the address of the website you want to visit, then you are sent to that site via the proxy server.

Internet Explorer 8 also has a useful tool called "InPrivate Browsing", you control whether or not IE saves your browsing history, cookies, and other data.

Some free anonymous proxy servers:

An explanation and lists of proxy servers you can enter into your browser settings.
Understand, using proxy servers can sometimes slow down website/page loading times.
