There are many ways to hide your IP Address (IP for Internet Protocol), but the most common method is to use a proxy site.  A proxy site is a web site that allows for you to tunnel around your own Internet Provider and to access the Internet without logging your own IP Address.  This is much like the proxy settings found on your computer.  Instead of a website, proxy settings are meant to serve as a security barrier between your internal network and the Internet community.  This way, you can prevent others on the Internet from accessing the information in your internal network.

As I said before, a proxy site is a bit different than these proxy settings.  A proxy site provides a way for you to browse the internet without being traced.  Many proxy sites have a search bar type feature that allows you to type in the web address, once you do this, the proxy site will automatically generate the site you wanted in its own server.  After that, you do not have to do anything else but simply browse the website as you would normally do without the proxy.

This may not seem as if it is needed to some people, but if you’re the sort of person who frequently connects to the Internet at work or school, then you know how much this could be of help to you.  This simple precaution may mean the difference between getting that referral for surfing games or porn at school, it could mean the difference between losing that job you’ve worked so hard to get, it could even mean the difference between keeping your lover because of some small incident you had on the Internet.

Remember to use a proxy site the next time you access the Internet at work, school, or just when you’re doing something a little too naughty for your own good.  A simple precaution can make all the difference.  Use your favorite search engine to find a good proxy site that fits your tastes.  In the next article, we will cover the different types of proxy sites.
