Ciao,
I was wondering which are the best and most reliable Proxy Anonymizers, Anonymizer tools / software & solutions in generals, for one to completely cover his/her online tracks from their ISP, hide your IP, to be able to send / receive e-mails, browse sites like Facebook, download / upload files & surf the web 100% anonymously? (Preferably free)
Firstly.. you can hide NOTHING from your isp.. it goes over their wires so they see it all. Total stealth only comes with the use of criminal wifi hacking methods and even then the servers you connect to get your hardware mac number.. don't waste your time. To use sites like arsebook you have to log in.. which means passing cookies.. so the site gets your IP at that point
How exactly do I change / spoof my MAC to a legitimate MAC of a manufacturer other than my Wifi adapter\'s? Is there actually a list with all the legitimate MAC addresses for all manufacturers out there?
I was also told that there\'s always the danger of Java (different from Javascript) or other embedded applets which generally do not proxy (unless you use a VPN), so in the case of a web based anonymizer, there\'s the potential for leaking local information, so it\'s always good to disable them.
So I disabled ?Scripting of Java applets? in the internet zone security settings, custom level, of IE8 in WinXP Pro & Win Vista Business (Security level for this zone: Medium-High), but there are also many Active X controls & plug-ins, .NET Framework, active scripting, filters and a bunch of other components that are enabled, but I?m not quite sure what each one does and weather I should disable them or not?
What other applets should I disable?
Should I just set the Security level for this zone to: \"High\" and disable everything?
Or Maybe Mozillafirefox would be the safest way to go as far as privacy is concerned?
