Proxy Switcher - surf anonymously - change proxy settings on the fly
There are times when you have to cloak your true IP address. It might be that you want to remain anonymous when you visit a particular website. Or your access to various social networking and entertainment sites has been blocked.
The solution is to use Proxy Switcher for all the anonymous browsing needs. It can be used to avoid all sorts of limitations imposed by various sites. Be that a download site that limits amount of downloads. Or video site works only in a particular country - more often than not it gets defeated by the anonymous browsing features Proxy Switcher provides.
On top of that, if you used to manually change proxy settings Proxy Switcher provides a way to change them much faster and easier.
Anonymous browsing - how does it work
In a regular case your web browser connects to the web site directly. Thus revealing quite a lot of sensitive information. An orange arrow denotes this case in the block scheme.
To change this situation Proxy Switcher was written. It can be used to find working anonymous proxy servers and redirect requests through them.
Anonymous Browsing - Possible usage scenario

•If you are a webmaster that wants to check Geotargetting of some sites (i.e. Google).
•Just want to hide your IP when visiting some sites which you might not want to record your IP address.
Automatic Anonymous Proxy Switching
To increase anonymity even further Proxy Switcher can periodically switch proxy servers. You can set this period down to every 10 seconds. In this mode Proxy Switcher will continually check and pick fastest available servers.
