No doubt this entry will stir another visit from my friends at NIPR.MIL. If you value your privacy on the web, you should check out the Java Anonymizing Proxy. JAP uses a single static address which is shared by many JAP users. That way neither the visited website, nor an eavesdropper can determine which user visited which website.
Seriously. The stats program I use provides a frightening amount of information about visitors. Certainly far more than I want to know.
I'm thinking of dropping it just for the protection of my readers (a number of whom comes from various military or .gov sites). I'll get a simpler program that doesn't make me feel like Big Brother.
I use SiteMeter, and it's pretty complete. Mostly I just ignore the temptation to find out. Sometimes it's pretty darn useful though.
Free anonymous web surfing sites allow you to bypass work filters by fetching the website’s data themselves, and then sending it back to you through the free anonymizer. These free anonymous surfing sites are powered by software that resides on the server. Not only do they allow you to circumvent filters put in place by network administrators, they also protect your online privacy by masking your IP Address, thus allowing you to surf the web anonymously. When you surf without a free anonymizer, your computer is exposed to all types of potentially harmful content (like viruses and spyware), and your personal information can easily be recorded by data trackers, effectively eliminating any privacy at work.
