Use anonymous remailers
An anonymous remailer will either give you an
anonymous address, to which other people can send
you mail, which is then forwarded to your real address
(this is sometimes referred to as a pseudonymous server),
or they post or mail your message without any trace
of the sender's name or address.
How it works...
- The server receives the email message.
- All headers are stripped and replaced with bogus ones.
- The message is encrypted using PGP.
- A random re-mailer chain is selected (usually 3).
- Message goes through the re-mailer chain and arrives at the server.
- The server decrypts and sends your message to it's destination.
As you can see, it is unkown to the server,
or the recipient of the message where the message
originated from. It's not even traceable back to the server,
much less the original poster.
WorldNet News Secure Remailer (free web-based)
This secured remailer is on a server comparable to one
used for conducting credit card transactions which means
the data transferred from your machine to our mail server
is encrypted. These remailers send your post or message to
our server, the message is then encrypted with pgp, sent
through the remailer chain to a NYM server where it is
decrypted and sent to its destination.

Advanced Direct Remailer (shareware)
Advanced Direct Remailer (ADR) is a powerful
remailer and mass mailer which send your message
straight out to the recipient's mail server
(without your ISP's SMTP server). ADR realizes
multi-threaded direct delivery, and so works
several times quicker than usual email client.
The program has its own internal SMTP server, and can
be easily configured to work with any email client
(Outlook, Outlook Express, Edudora, etc.), any other
mail server or mass mailer (e.g. Eserv, GroupMail).

Ultimate Anonymity (one time $14.95 fee)
Allows you to safely post messages to
newsgroups and send e-mail knowing that messages
you send are not traceable back to you on an SSL
secured server to prevent interception of data between
you and them.
Read newsgroups via a web based interface OR using your
existing newsreader. Get newsgroups you want while at the same
time avoiding your ISPs logging of your usenet activity.
Participate in IRC/ICQ & Web chat rooms without revealing
your real IP info to others using the same service.

Surf the Net on anonymous proxies
A proxy is a computer that has been setup to use as a gateway to the internet,
The idea is that if you have a network and want to connect to the internet from each
machine on the network you can do this with one quick connection and proxy software.
Some proxies are public others are not. This is what it looks like when you use a proxy server.
{NETWORK}-------->{PROXY}-------->{INTERNET}
| |
| |
{NETWORK}<--------{PROXY}<--------{INTERNET}
As you can see its just a circle with the proxy as a middle man. The good thing about this is
proxies can be setup to re-write the IP address of the packets that it receives then forwards them
to the server as if it has originally come from the proxy :-) These are anonymous proxies so when
you do things that you shouldn't using a proxy can mask your IP and keep you anonymous and out of trouble.
You must test proxies to see if they are anonymous or it will spill your REAL IP address. The main tool for
testing proxies is AATools made by "G-lock software". This is a quality tool and a must have.
You can also use a proxy when surfing
the web, To do this in IE go to, "Tools" --> "Internet options" --> "Connections" --> "Settings" --> and check
the box "Use a proxy server for this connection". Enter the proxys IP and port number and away you go. You can use a proxy
judge (a perl cgi script written to test environment variables) to test whether it is anonymous or pre-test it with AATools.
I always pretest with AATools then proxjudge to get the anonymous level (level 1-2 are great, 3 okay, 4-5 may be useful).
The best way to find proxies is to use search engines this is a very quick and simple way of doing things,
Or another way is to scan for them yourself using proxy hunting tools. I have listed some tools to use below.
1, Proxynator
2, Proxy Hunter
3, Access Diver
4, AATools
Proxies are very useful in staying anonymous when using the internet you just need to make "sure" that they are anonymous and you should be ok.
