Blackcat Proxy – Accessing a Web site Unidentifiably
There are a number of reasons why you may need to access a website indirectly via a proxy, rather than directly and many of those reasons are legitimate not criminal- ie you may be whistle blowing and don’t want a direct trace back to you. The main way to do this is via an external proxy. You go to it, enter the web address and the address in the target’s web log is the proxy not you.
There are paid services that let you do this- anonymizer.com being the best known. There are also plenty of free services though they tend to be popular and hence slow or they are not concerned about security and pass on identifying information. This one is free, seems fast (for now!) and lets you control what is passed on.
Note: Using this does not let you access a website from work without work having a log, but it may let you access a website that is blocked from work (until they spot it and block access to the proxy).
