Anonymizers are services that help make your own web surfing anonymous.

However, anonymizers have the following limitations:

• HTTPS. Secure protocols like "https:" cannot be properly anonymized, since the browser needs to access the site directly to properly maintain the secure encryption.

• Plugins. If an accessed site invokes a third-party plugin, then there is no guarantee that they will not establish independent direct connections from the user computer to a remote site.

• Logs. All anonymizer sites claim that they don't keep a log of requests. Some sites, such as the Anonymizer, keep a log of the addresses accessed, but don't keep a log of the connection between accessed addresses and users logged in.

• Java. Any Java application that is accessed through an anonymizer will not be able to bypass the Java security wall.

• Active X. Active-X applications have almost unlimited access to the user's computer system.

• JavaScript. The JavaScript scripting language is disabled with url-based anonymizers

Some anonymizer sites are:

• Anonymizer.com

• Anonymize.net

• @nonymouse.com

• Iprive.com

• MagusNet Public Proxy

• MuteMail.com PublicProxyServers.com

• Rewebber.de

• SilentSurf.com

• Surfola.com

• Ultimate-anonymity.com
