Surf the web anonymously
No paid software here :).
We use something called Tor.
Tor is a Firefox extension that lets you do that! Tor works using a technology called Onion Routing
To start surfing the web completely anonymously - you will also need one more extension called Switchproxy
Install Tor on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install tor privoxy
Edit the file /etc/privoxy/config (you will require root/sudo) and add the following
forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .
Save and restart privoxy
sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart
Now, install SwitchProxy
Go to http://addons.mozilla.org and search for SwitchProxy and install the extension like any other
In the manual configuration for SwitchProxy, add a new proxy called Tor
For HTTP Proxy, SSL Proxy, FTP Proxy - fill in the below
Host : 127.0.0.1 Port : 8118
You are to ready to GO! If you face any issues surfing, just tell SwitchProxy not to use any proxy.
