Anonymizer

[Pexster]

I asked this in the Security forum, but no responses, so maybe was in the wrong place --

Anyone here have experience, good or bad, with Anonymizer? Just wondering if it's a product worth getting.

The only experience I have with it is the free "anonymizer toolbar" which, IMO, is little more than an ad in my browser toolbar. Have never tried the full version of the program.

I sometimes use anonymous proxies to hide my IP, although I can't say for sure that it makes me "safer" online-but it does scratch that particular mental itch....

Tnx for the input!

Here is a good link for proxies:

I hadn't seen that website before, e980238; it looks like it has a lot of interesting stuff on it--thanks for the link!

sure no problem

I 2nd that! Learned a lot from that site -- it answered my question and much, much more. Thanks for the help!

pexster, I subscribed to anonymizer last july and shortly thereafter our company went with a censoring filter that did not permit anonymizer. I've tried using it at home but it is basically too slow to be of any use.

Thanks (I guess!)

That's not good. Gotta' have the speed. I got cranky when my wife started using some real-time filtering product once (forget which) that seemed to slow things down. So anything that materially degrades our download times isn't acceptable.

Maybe I'll check into a trial period. Anyway, thanks again, hickory!
