Some of the more recent disclosures about just how wildly unsecured your personal data is caught everyone off guard - including some of the major governments around the world. Most people had suspected that the powers that be were monitoring Internet and cell phone traffic without ever admitting to it, but the recent release of extremely controversial documents to that effect has led most people to believe that every move they make online is being monitored by somebody.
Now unfortunately we come to the reality that any government's greed for information, and their almost incredible levels of paranoia, means that they're obviously going to continue to ramp up their monitoring of all the Internet traffic they can get their hands on.
Now the question is just how much of your data can "Big Brother" really see? You see what most of the conspiracy theorists are missing out on is the devil in the details of online surveillance programs such as Prism, in that it only scans metadata, or the header information on whatever you're looking at online. Then you need to factor in that "Big Brother" is not capable of monitoring every single piece of information passing through the Internet each day - there are literally hundreds of billions of emails and instant messages sent and received each day globally and the manpower/computing power to monitor, analyse and disseminate all of that data doesn't exist at the moment.
Your Internet Protocol address is just the first privacy threat you will face online, but definitely not the last. IP addresses allow your computer's unique signal to be recognized and identified. This is similar to a cyber fingerprint. If you have had trouble with a particular site the administrators can bar your computer address and deny admission unless you have found a way to hide your IP address.
A web based proxy server is a way to accomplish your goal of maintaining online privacy. This is an easy process that helps you hide your IP address and remain anonymous while surfing the net. The proxy server provides users with a site to enter the URL for the online listing you plan to visit. Your personal IP address remains blocked when the request is transmitted and only the proxy address is detected. There are a few drawbacks to this process that you should know about. The first problem is that you will have to deal with a lot of ads before you access the proxy server. The most frustrating problem is the slowness of the proxy to process your request. This is because there is such a demand for the service that it creates a backlog for the system.
