Proxy (or proxy server) is a computer program that acts as an intermediary between a web browser and a web server. Proxy server is invisible for user but IP address of proxy server should be specified as a configuration option to the browser. Using anonymous proxies and anonymity programs is very important as they clear up information about your computer so that you can safely surf the net and your information will never be used by hackers and spammers.

Hiding your IP address prevents malicious users from collecting your personal data and stealing your private information. If you want to keep your personal information in privacy and make your surfing in the Internet anonymous it's absolutely necessary to hide your IP address by using anonymous proxy servers.
