I just RDP into a box in another country and surf from there.

Like if anyone checked the IP on this post, they'd be in for a bit of a "hmmf" moment :).

Furthermore, If I really want to get snarky, I turn on IPscramble in Admuncher, and fake out the referrer, browser, etc.

I've been using the Proxomitron as a localhost proxy server for years...in addition to a NAT firewall and Outpost Pro software firewall.

Firefox also has a nice extension called Stealther that shuts off all browser logging from cache to cookies and everything else. I may give Tor a try. Sounds nice.

Anybody naive enough to doubt that all of these are creations of the NIS.

Thanks GOP J.

Interesting.

Personally, I go on the internet and figure nothing I do is private so that keeps me in check pretty much.

What's to prevent someone (or an entity) from designing and making available on the Internet an application that is advertised as being a secure and anonymous way of surfing, but which in fact is exactly the opposite: an application that painstakingly tracks Internet activity and allows a spy to extract every last shred of information from the computer and email accounts of the user?

Things aren't always what they seem to be.

Most of us have downloaded and installed software over the Internet merely on faith that the provider of the software is honest and not interested in spying. We have no way of really knowing if that's in fact the case. It seems to me that a really sophisticated and well-funded programmer or group of programmers (on a country's payroll?) could wreak all sorts of havoc and none of us would be the wiser.

Most of us likely need not worry about it. But other people might well be lucrative targets.
