What's the best way to browse the web anonymously?

• iforgotpassword 8y ago
  Depends on your definition of anonymous. Who are you trying to hide from? You ISP, government, the site you visit? The answer might lie somewhere in between "just sign up with a VPN provider" and "reinstall your OS, drive to a Starbucks at least 50 miles away and use their WiFi, never logging in to any site you visit."

  Full anon is very hard. If you have to ask you're not going to be able to pull it off. I did a contract once where my client had to deal with some really scary people. The steps I took were so extreme. Cash phone, burner computer, custom proxies, relays, delays, fake data, fake traffic. And you still never know. Your adversary could have something you didn't even think of and you get owned anyway. If all you want to do is avoid tracking scripts from companies, however, use a VM on another user account on your computer and write up a script to light up a new DigitalOcean droplet automatically when you browser. Cycle the IP frequently and use a bunch of different VMs with different browsers and OSes. It's enough for 99.99%.
