Maintaining privacy online.

Maintaining privacy online is a big challenge today , may websites like facebook, twitter , google advertisement track your interest , location , your activity and much more the know you more than your daddy, when you access internet ? what location are you currently in ? , how much devices you access web from? , what time you wake up? , what are you planning for vacation?, who are you with ?, well thats enough said , well if you really care for privacy you might want to go through rest of my tutorial.

1. Use anonymous proxy : You can use anonymous web proxy websites like www.hidemyass.com , www.atunnel.com  they simply change your ip address to anonymous ips and secure your connection using SSL connections. Anonymous proxies  fake  your original IP address to fake IP address. Now you gain much of anonymity here and good thing is that its a completely free.

2. Dns and proxy settings for web browsers : You can edit proxy settings on your web browsers to remain anonymous online. know how to edit proxy settings on google chrome browser over here.

3. Use of proxy softwares : You can use proxy softwares like security kiss , Tunnel bear , uno telly free , Tor free download. just edit the settings and just a single click will give you instance access to proxy feature.

4. Use of VPN services : Vpn stands for a virtual private network. It is highly secure , whenever you are out of your home and office , you can use VPN services .To use VPN services you can use softwares like hamachi VPN  service (you can download the personal version on the web for free). To use this service you have to install the software on two computers ,one on the home computer that is always ON and other computer the one that you carry with. If you are in coffee shop and your are accessing internet with turned on VPN, all the passwords you enter forms and datas are securely transfered to server, they cannot be sniffed or stolen by using man on the middle attacks like ARP spoofing / poisoning. Basically,  When VPN services are used then it makes act like your travel computer is  using the internet through your home computer rather than router present on the coffee shop you are sitting at.

5. SHH tunnel : secure and trusted networks are not always available , so here i will show you how to keep pop3 , IMAP and passwords safe and prevent them form snarfing.

SHH tunnel is a secure tunneling protocol that creates a secure data travel path within unsecured/untrusted networks.

You dont have to be a hard core unix geek to create a shh tunnel , software made easy - You can download shh tunnel manager and with a click of a button you are good to go the Hell !! secure way!!

  1. As Hotspot Shield free VPN ( http://www.free-vpn-proxy.com ) has already offered a premium level of security to over 10 million users. That's why I always use it for online privacy and to access blocked sites.
