In the wake of international revolutions, many of which were partly organized on sites like Facebook and Twitter, I think it is important that all people find out how to become truly anonymous online... For example, how can I get behind a proxy (or seven)? I borrowed this question from AskReddit: | |||||

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

The best way I know that non-technical folk can get as anonymous as possible is to use the free TOR Project, which uses a series of volunteer proxies to route traffic so as to mask its origin. You can get the TOR Project as a plugin to Firefox and use Firefox in Private Browsing mode to avoid leaving traces on the host computer and you can go even further and use a sandboxed browser, either through running your browser through Sandboxie or in a Virtual Machine, or you can get dedicated sandboxed browsers such as KACE that when run alongside TOR will give you a good chance of staying as anonymous as possible. It is very hard to remain completely anonymous. Below are the links to all these goodies! :) | |||

I used the TOR project for a while, at that time it was a separate application and not browser plugin, the only problem was the unpleasant internet speed, from what the docs says your traffic is routed (onion-ring) through a series of proxies, haven't got to research why the speed was so bad. There is also another interesting project http://freenetproject.org/ I heard about. | |||

For anonymity, you could start using I2P. | |||

I use Chrome and the TOR network when needed. http://lifehacker.com/5614732/create-a-tor-button-in-chrome-for-on+demand-anonymous-browsing | |||
