Stop Internet Search Engines from tracking your Internet traces.

Every time you surf the Internet, you are allowing your Internet Service Provider and the Internet Search Engines to trace your Internet browsing habits.  Every computer is assigned a unique IP Address which is how companies are able to track your browsing habits.  With Private Proxy, your IP Address is masked from these companies. There are three instances where companies are tracking this type of behavior.  One is your Internet Service Provider (ISP).  This is who you have your Internet service through. 

Every time you connect to the Internet they are keeping a record of your IP address and all the sites that you visit.  The other instance is all the various Internet Search Engines.  Every time you use one of their nifty tools like their e-mail, desktop or search, they are tracking everything you do.  The third instance is companies that use software to monitor their employees surfing habits to make sure you are not using the Internet for personal purposes.  If a company feels that a particular site is not necessary for you to do your job, they will block the URL from all employees or you specifically.  It is nobody’s business what you do on your computer.

Here is what other companies know about you:

• Your IP address.
  This is how Internet Search Engines and your Internet Service Provider track your computer.
  
  
• What website page you came from.
  This is the information your Internet Service Provider and the Internet Search Engines are logging for every page you visit.
  
  
• Your Internet port.
  This is an open door for hackers to access your computer.

With Private Proxy, your IP Address will be hidden so your Internet Service Provider and the Internet Search Engines have no way of tracking your Internet browsing behavior, and building a profile of your surfing habits.  You will be connecting to the Private Proxy server where your IP Address will now appear as the Private Proxy server’s IP address.  Your Internet Service Provider and the Internet Search Engines will be tracking the Private Proxy IP address but there are many others using this same IP address so the data will have no relevancy to you specifically. 

With one simple mouse-click, you can turn Private Proxy on or off so you only use it when you need to.  You will be given a username and password in order to access the anonymous proxy server so you can log in from any machine with Private Proxy installed.   The Private Proxy server only keeps your records for 5 days to protect against spammers, hackers, and other threats.  After that time your records are deleted – we don’t need your information and neither should anyone else.

For added protection, Private Proxy allows you to select from multiple domain names to use while browsing the Internet.  If you are using the Private Proxy at work, your IT Department may be monitoring your Internet surfing.  By going to one of these generic domain names, it is less obvious to the IT Department what you are doing.  There are also instances where your IT Department may block one of the Private Proxy domains.  If this happens, you can select another domain name and keep on surfing in private.

In addition to hiding your IP Address, Private Proxy uses a secure 128 bit encryption to protect the data you are sending between your computer and the Private Proxy server.  Only encyrpted data would appear, not any of your information, until it reaches your computer for your eyes only.
