Browsing the Internet anonymously can keep your IP information safe,Proxy Browsers - Change IP Address With a Proxy Articles get you past firewall restrictions, and help you access content blocked based on IP location.  But to browse anonymously, you need a browser right?  When you change your IP address with a proxy there are a couple options available for how you actually browse the web.1. Use your own browserYou can surf anonymously with the browser you're currently using.  By activating the private surfing options on many of the most popular web browsers, you can surf in the way you're used to, but with your IP information protected by a proxy server.  To do this, you've first got to find a lists of open proxies that's updated, and will provide you with both the IP address and port number of a proxy server.  The quality of the server, the level of anonymity, number of users connected, speed, and other features will vary.  There's a fine technique to finding good proxy lists.  If you are unfamiliar with the anonymous surfing options of your browser, there's sure to be a tutorial online.  I use Firefox, and was able to find and operate this completely new (to me) section of my favorite web browser.2.  Download a Proxy BrowserThere are many companies that have software that's designed to find and make use of open proxies.  In many cases, not only will the software be able to find fresh proxy server IP addresses, it will also provide you with a platform for you to choose, ie, a browser.  The features and styles of browsers will vary, but this could give you some decent options for selecting proxy servers according to your requirements.3. Use a web based proxyA web based proxy is another option to change IP address with proxy servers.  This doesn't require any downloading, and there are both free and paid options available.  With a web based proxy, you type your URL (using your current browser) into a web page. The page will then open up your desired URL in a mini-browser inside your current browser.  This means that you'll be able to use options according to your own web browser, but be able to surf blocked sites, or just surf anonymously with the mini browser active.
