Anonymizer – Identity protection software news

If you want to increase security while using public Wi-Fi hot spots, Anonymizer is the solution that will provide secure and anonymous web browsing.

Anonymizer - identity protection softwareNow Anonymizer consists of two parts, a client-side application and Anonymizer web proxy servers. Together they create a 128-bit encrypted SSL tunnel between the client and the Anonymizer web proxy servers. This SSL tunnel ensures your Security and Anonymity: The SSL tunnel encrypts all traffic that traverses the digital link from the computer to the Anonymizer server, protecting user information while transiting the connection and using a web proxy server hides the computer’s IP address, which protects the user’s online identity and prevents tracking of Internet activities.

Latest news is that Anonymizer was recently sold to Abraxas Corporation and is mentioned in the news release below:

“Richard Helms, CEO and Founder of Abraxas Corporation today announced the acquisition of San Diego-based Anonymizer, Inc.”

“We are very pleased and excited about bringing the very talented Anonymizer team on board. Their products and services in trusted anonymity are second to none and perfectly complement our existing risk mitigation technology offerings. Anonymizer has developed a complete portfolio of capabilities focused on protecting online identities and privacy. They were the first to bring such a service to market, and, after 12 years of perfecting it, have become the undisputed market and technology leader. Since its inception, Anonymizer has protected millions of global Internet users.”

New Free PHP Proxy Script – Glype Proxy

Is your PHProxy script killing your server resources? Well there is a New Proxy script released for proxy webmasters.
I just wanted to share with everyone the new release of Glype 0.3b Proxy Script. It looks extremely promising alternative to PHProxy, Zelune and other PHP-based proxy scripts with very similiar functionality. I havent tested it myself yet but I will trying it out soon.

Here is a list of the current features of the new Glype proxy script:

  • supports caching headers to allow normal browser caching
  • uses a server-side cache to speed up requests for common images, files and stylesheets
  • no installation needed so simply upload and go!
  • setup wizard allows you to configure advanced options for your proxy with no PHP knowledge
  • simple theme system provides different layouts quickly and easily
  • ensure anonymity by stripping client-side scripts and preventing them from running on proxified pages.
  • block access to particular sites with your choice of either a blacklist (blocks every site listed) or a whitelist (blocks every site other than the ones listed)
  • ban users individually by IP address or collectively with flexible support for IP ranges
  • filter bad words that may cause the entire page to be blocked if the user is subject to network restrictions (such as at school, college or work)
  • strip elements from pages such as embedded audio/video or flash to conserve bandwidth
  • supports Basic HTTP authentication so you can log into your protected areas
