  • I liked that. Stumbled.
  • Nice suggestions. However you didn't mention running a live CD such as Anonym.OS:

  • u forgot TOR.
  • Tor is an anonymous proxy, which is number eight.
  • ^^Good article,congrats and thanks to share it with others.
  • mentioned in #2 under the Anonymous IP link
  • Is using a proxy a total guarantee of anonimity or are there ways to extract the real ip addresses behind them?
  • Sneakily run a proxy server at your friend's computer and use it, encrypt and store your firefox folder with truecrypt and put it in a flash drive, use your parents names for buying stuff online, create multiple email addresses for different online activities. Congrats, you are now a ghost.
  • Scam,

    I think the logs would have to be read on the proxy. Not 100% sure tho.
  • there is a software called mru cleaner.... i think. that can be a great way to clean thing. there are other free software which can do all these tasks at a click of a button
  • just use ccleaner (ccleaner.com) for steps 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7
  • Google, Google Toolbar logs IP + all of your searches, so there's absolutely nothing "anonymous" about using it. if you want to be more anonymous on the Net, stop using toolbars such as this one altogether.
  • That really depends.. it depends on the proxy, the amount of time that has passed, is there a subpoena or search warrant involved, what country the proxy server is in, etc. Short answer is yes, everything can be discovered if someone wants it badly enough and has the time, resources, money and authority to get it.

    In reality, usually no.. it's not worth the time/effort and unless its something major they wouldn't be able to get a subpoena and/or search warrant (at least inside the U.S.)
  • Another one I just came across is Iron Key https://www.ironkey.com/, in which you could run a portable copy of Firefox.. thus keeping all your history, bookmarks, etc., on the secure, encrypted flash drive and not on the computer your using.
