How to protect your identity on the Internet.

This is why it is very important people to understand how this fraud is working. During this article, I will try to explain how identity thefts can happen and also, to provide solutions for avoiding identity theft.

Every time you click on a web resource, the Internet Service Provider (ISP) gives you a unique number, called IP address. An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique address that certain electronic devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard. This number reveals your location and other personal information about you and your computer. If your IP address is uncovered, all information about you can be exposed by hackers or by more experienced computer users.

An important thing people must know is that they can hide/change their IP. Thus, they will browse the web invisibly and keep their internet activity private. This most wanted internet security is provided by online privacy solutions through the use of proxy servers. A proxy server is a server that retrieves Web pages for you, providing only its own identity to the sites it visits. So, all your internet traffic gets routed by the proxy. This means that your internet requests will be sent to and contented by this proxy server instead of your Internet Service Provider. As a result, the websites will see the IP address of the proxy server instead of your own IP address. In this way you will be invisible even for your ISP, which won’t be able to track your online traces.

There are many applications on the market that assure you a safe web surfing. One of them is Anonymity Gateway - an online privacy solution developed by Privacy-Gateway. Anonymity Gateway masks the real IP of a user, allowing you to browse all kind of pages without ever worrying that the ISPs or any other marketing tool is monitoring your surfing habits or spammers are attacking your computer. To do this, the software uses proxy servers. Anonymity Gateway has a comprehensive proxy list, containing proxies from various countries, so you can use proxies from different countries at your choice, having the identity well hidden.

Your IP can also be revealed because of the traces you leave navigating through web pages. Anonymity Gateway can help you clean all online traces, such as: Internet History, Typed URL, Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, Auto Complete Forms History, Auto Complete Password History and Internet Favorites.

Using Anonymity Gateway you will surf anonymously and your online identity will be hidden because the IP address everyone sees will be different from the real one. In conclusion any information you transmit can not be seen without your permission because your web surfing is kept private and secure.
