the Safeplug for internet anonymity

You wouldn’t post your home address just anywhere online. So why give it out to every website you visit ? When you browse the Internet, every site you visit knows your IP address (a unique number that identifies your computer on the Internet) which can easily reveal your physical location and home address. This information could be accessed, hacked or even sold, exposing your identity and location to unknown parties and putting your family at risk. Pogoplug (a cloud storage service provider) has launched a new privacy adapter, Safeplug, which the company says can add internet anonymity within seconds. With Safeplug, you can effectively stop websites from knowing or logging who you are and where you live. Safeplug sets up in 60 seconds and allows you to use your existing web browser, and even your phone, to browse the Internet with complete anonymity and peace of mind.

Safeplug does not require any additional software to be installed on your computer, and is compatible with any modern Internet browser that you already use. Safeplug uses the Tor network to secure your Internet connection. Tor works by routing your Internet traffic through a series of random destinations, much like driving a twisty, complicated route to throw off someone who is following you, making it impossible for websites and organizations to identify the source or destination of Internet traffic. While using Safeplug however, it is likely that you will notice reductions in your overall Internet speed and page-loading times. This is because your Internet traffic is being bounced to computers across the globe to make your Internet browsing impossible to trace. This will reduce in effect as Tor gains popularity over time. Also be advised, that Tor has been known as the home for many let’s say “not-so-legal” activities. Furthermore it is recommend that you clear your cookies between anonymous browsing sessions, even when using Safeplug.
