Frequently Asked Questions

If I use this at work, can they see what I'm looking at?

If your work has a VNC client installed, they can look at your screen and see what you're doing.

Can I cover all my tracks so they don't know?

Assume that your work have access to your computer - therefore they have access to the paths that your computer has been looking at.

What is a Proxy Server?

A proxy server is a kind of 'buffer' that sits between your computer and the web pages you are accessing. The data you request comes to the proxy which then transmits the data to you.

What is an anonymous proxy server?

Any website can track your path through its pages and using your IP address (think of it as a unique ID assigned to your computer). This information can be used to display different content depending on your geographical location, or gather personal information about you. As well as your IP address, certain information such as your web browser and operating system can be logged. This information can make you vulnerable to hackers. An anonymous proxy will not transfer your IP address and you can therefore surf in far greater anonymity and safety.
