What is an anonymizer? How to visit blocked sites and social networks?

Quite a lot of Internet users like to spend their free time in social networks, where you can chat with friends, play one of the interesting applications, listen to your favorite music or watch cool videos.

However, if you visit such sites during business hours, then the boss will most likely make a remark to you. Of course, in this situation, he will be right, because at work you have to fulfill your job duties, and not have fun. That is why managers turn to specialists to block such resources.

But what if all of the boss's orders are fulfilled, and you urgently need to go to your page to agree, for example, about the meeting? There is a way out: you just have to find out what an anonymizer is, and how to use it.

Principle of operation

By browsing various sites, chatting or on forums, you provide such resources with some information about yourself (IP address, browser, which came from, the name of the provider, etc.). If necessary, the resource visited by you will be able to provide this information to the competent authorities. Perhaps you just do not want to "leave a trail behind," so you are interested in what an anonymizer is. It is not difficult to understand this question.

Anonymizers are special sites (proxies) acting as intermediaries between you and the resource that you wish to visit. For example, you need to go through an anonymizer to your page "VKontakte". In this case, the user opens one of the proxy servers, enters the address of his page in the special field and presses the "GO" button. As a result, you will not go under your real IP, but with an IP proxy server.

By the way, in addition to sites-anonymizers there are special programs (paid and free).

Why do we need anonymizers?

One of the most common reasons for pushing users to use proxy services is the desire to visit blocked sites during business hours. Yes, the head of the firm is unlikely to react positively to the fact that you, instead of performing your direct duties, communicate with friends in the "social network". That's why many office workers use anonymizer. "VC" or, for example, "Facebook" will be available to you at any time.

The reason can also serve as a blocking on the IP on any resource. That is, you were on a certain site or forum and violated the rules, as a result of which you were "banned". The problem of logging into such a resource is solved using a proxy server.

The most common reason is the desire to protect yourself from hacker attacks. If you do not know your real IP, it will be much more difficult for an attacker to gain access to another user's computer.

So, now you understand why you need to use anonymizer. "Classmates", "VC" or other social network will always be at your disposal.

Negative moments

Despite the positive side of using proxy servers, there are a number of shortcomings:

• When installing the program (especially free), a virus can penetrate your computer with it.
• If you visit the site, for example, through the anonymizer "VC", then most likely, some functions will be unavailable (voting participation, comments and others).
• The speed of loading pages is much lower. Of course, we are not talking about paid proxy servers, since in most cases the speed of their work is always high.
• Another disadvantage of anonymizers is the risk of stealing passwords and other personal information.

So, now you know what anonymizer is, so you can decide whether to use them or not.

Proxy servers for VKontakte

As mentioned earlier, with the help of such programs and websites you can sit with impunity in social networks during working hours. It's no secret that the Russian segment of the Internet prefers to communicate in the "social network" created by Pavel Durov.

If you need an anonymizer "VKontakte" for free, then pay attention to the "Chameleon". The interface of this proxy server is designed so that even an inexperienced user can understand it. You only need to specify the address of your page and click the "Go" button. Now you will go to the site under a different IP address, and, therefore, you can bypass the blocking of this social network in the office.

Alternatively, use the anonymizer Spools (Spoolls). The functionality of this site allows you to download video and music files, leave comments, put "likes".

How to access "Odnoklassniki" anonymously?

If you prefer the social network "Classmates", then pay attention to resources such as Anonim.pro or OpenOK.org. Information from the "social network" will be transmitted to the proxy server, so your IP will remain unnoticed.

There is another quality anonymizer. "Classmates" can be visited with the help of the same "Chameleon". It is worth noting that thanks to this proxy server you can visit other popular resources ("Mamba", LovePlanet, etc.). In case this site was also blocked, open the anonymizer NoBlock.

In fact, there are a lot of proxy servers and programs on the Internet that give an opportunity to visit the social network "Odnoklassniki" anonymously, so choose the most convenient and accessible option for you.

Conclusion

So, now you understand what an anonymizer is, so you can go to the blocked incognito resources. It is worth noting that of the many proxy servers you need to choose one that has proved itself to be very positive.

Also pay attention to the speed of loading web pages, functionality. Try not to use little-known programs. If you are allowed a financial position, then take a look at the paid anonymizers.

Do not leave your confidential data (passwords from e-mail and e-wallets) on proxy servers, as these are fraudulent tricks. When downloading the program, be sure to check it for viruses. If those were found, it is recommended that you do not use the downloaded application.
