    All the services that allow you to hide your IP address, help you surfing the web without leaving any trails of your personal data around.

    In fact, even if you might not realize this, your privacy is constantly at risk when you browse the web from your computer. Every single move you make is recorded by your Internet provider and by the servers that host the web sites you visit.

    All this information are collected without you even noticing, and often given away to third-party services who will use your data to display customized ads, start targeted marketing campaigns, etc.

    That is why the Internet is populated with proxy servers, which are online tools that allow you to share a fake IP address with the web sites you visit while also helping you to bypass censorship and country limits.

    Proxy servers are deadly simple to use: you just have to type the URL of the web site you want to visit and the service will bring you there as if you were normally web browsing.

    If you want to know more about how to hide your IP address and maintain control of your personal privacy, in this MasterNewMedia guide you will find all the best web-based tools to safely surf the Internet without worrying about your data.
