Whenever you surf the internet your ip address is being logged by every website you visit. A simple check of web logs will show the ip address of everyone that visited a particular website. These logs can be kept for years, and can send a trace back to you! It's not a matter of just covering your tracks as most of us have nothing to hide, it's a matter of *privacy*. Your right to privacy is being compromised when browsing without a proxy.
Proxies can also protect you from common internet threats such as viruses and trojans. They also help to limit spam and keep advertising companies from tracking you! One last item where a proxy can help out is blocking the refer when you click links on a website. Companies and others can tell what site you came from to find theirs.
Here are a few things we know about you..
IP Address:
38.103.63.18

Browser: CCBot/1.0 (+http://www.commoncrawl.org/bot.html)
What does your IP address reveal about you?
Your IP address reveals your point of entry to the Internet and can be used to trace your communications back to your ISP, your employer's network, your school, a public terminal. Though your IP address may not identify you personally, an IP is a unique identifier which represents your computer's digital ID while you are online.It is possible to disguise your IP address on the Web by using an anonymous proxy server. A proxy acts as an intermediary, routing communications between your computer and the Internet. A proxy specializing in anonymous surfing, however, uses its own IP address in place of yours in every outgoing request.
Web-based Proxies
A web-based proxy is a service that allows you to bypass your own internet provider and browse using the proxy web-based website. All that you have to do is type the website address you would like to visit in the form they provide, and start browsing. Once you keep browsing using that form, you are protected and your *real* ip address is not being logged. There are many web based proxies to choose from. Start browsing using the featured selection.
