Anonymizer Anonymous Surfing™
Protection Indicators
IP Anonymity
When this indicator light is green, your real IP address is hidden from Web administrators and online snoops as you surf the Internet. By shielding your IP address, people are unable to track your Internet activities and build profiles on you.
Anti-Phishing
When this indicator light is green, your Anonymizer anti-phishing protection is active. If you click on a link in an email that takes you to a known phishing site, Anonymizer will alert you to the danger by displaying a warning page. If you wish, you may proceed to the site by clicking the Continue button on the page. This is not recommended because many phishing sites may also infect your computer with spyware. Please visit our Threat Center to learn more about phishing scams.
Anti-Pharming
When this indicator light is green, your Anonymizer anti-pharming protection is active. Anonymous surfing protects you against Hosts file pharming and DNS cache poisoning to ensure that every URL typed into your browser takes you to the legitimate Web sites. Please visit our Threat Center to learn more about pharming attacks.
Wi-Fi Security
When this indicator light is green, your Anonymizer wi-fi protection is active. Anonymous Surfing uses 128-bit patented Surfing Security SSL encryption to secure the data that you send over a wireless connection and protect you against the latest evil twins scam.
