How to be anonymous on the internet
3 Ways To Be Anonymous On The Internet
- Proxy
- VPN
- Tor Browser
Proxy
Proxy sites with the help of which you can surf or search the internet, but we can do this without proxy, then why proxy sites are used. there are many websites that do not run on the Internet like we live in India, then there are some downloading sites in India that do not follow the rules of copyright, then your ISP closes those sites on the orders of the government.
If you are from India is some downloading websites ban in India so these sites will not open in India so what to do in such a situation. In such a situation, you can visit these sites with the help of proxy. On proxy sites, you can visit that site by pasting the URL of that block website because the website is blocked in India not in any other country. Proxy lets you access blocked websites through their servers in another country.
You can use free proxy from this website
Drawback
You can use it only in a single tab, as soon as you open another tab then you will have to setup it again in another tab.
VPN
VPN whose full form as Virtual Private Network. it's based on IP bouncing technology. it's a technique of network that change your public IP to virtual IP on network. it's hide your public IP on network that create secure connection in network. VPN is best way to secure your personal data and network from hackers.
Use of VPN service most in organizations, educational institute, government agencies. so that keep secure their important data from unauthorized users. you can use VPN from their service providers from there apps and software.
As you know VPN hide your public IP on network and it's provide you a virtual IP like if you visit on a website so they can't see your original public IP they can see your virtual IP. if hacker attack on your IP so VPN secure your network. you can use it for visit blocked websites in your country.

VPN Software For Windows
Drawback
VPN extensions provide you best service but it's only protect your network in current browser not all system if you use other software in your system so software servers see your original IP. that's a reason why people using VPN software. but VPN doesn't provide you 100% protection. like if you are connected from a VPN then you are hack a website now website protectors start investigation and after investigation they find your IP but it's your Virtual IP now they try to find who can provide you virtual IP and after hard work they find your VPN service provider company now they ask that company to provide original IP and now you will be caught. so to avoid this people use Tor browser.
Tor browser
Tor whose full form is The Onion Router. Tor Browser which allows users to surf the web anonymously. It also gives you access to the dark web. Tor is a worldwide network of servers built specifically for private communication. It is a non-profit organization. Most of its funding comes from the US government.
Tor Browser is the gateway to the Dark Web or Deep Web. understand in a simple way, let's say the Internet is an iceberg that can be seen with a normal browser like Google, it is only the tip of the iceberg. But that big area which we do not see and which we cannot see with the help of Google is dark web. The part of the dark web iceberg that is under water and we cannot see it with a normal browser, we can only see them with the Tor browser.
Tor Onion works on the principle of routing. In which the user's data is first encrypted and then it is transferred with the help of various relays which are present in the Tor network, in order to create a multi-layered encryption (like in Onion), this allows the users to identify remains safe. If someone tries to track you it will fail, even if they succeed they will not get your exact location.
