I want to be anonymous when browsing the web
Solution- Profiling your identity and actions
There are multiple guides to help you stay anonymous when browsing the Internet. Anonymity is not inherent on the Internet and useful when you want to hide your destination address from the local Internet Service Provider or your identity from the visited website. It can also help protect your social graph. If you need anonymity to send an email, please refer to the I want to send an anonymous email section. Herein the two most popular methods to achieve a degree of anonymity on the Internet:
- Anonymity networks - The Tor Browser hides your destination address and shields your identity from the visited website. It is completely open source and free with an active developer and volunteer community. Guides from the Security in-a-box project for Windows users and from the Surveillance Self Defense guide for Mac users, as well as some tips for using Tor
- VPN - a Virtual Private Network allows you to connect to the Internet via an encrypted tunnel to the VPN provider. Your ISP can only see your connection to the VPN service, to the website you are visiting your origin appears as coming directly the VPN servers. The RiseUp VPN service is a popular choice among activists and functions from all computers and Android smartphones. Surfeasy is one of the many commercial VPN services offering free accounts as well.
Deciding whether to use anonymity networks or a VPN provider depends on your circumstance and is best explained in the Surveillance Self Defense guide as well as here. Be aware of Tor limitations as well
