Do they still have "invisible" surfing tools?

Just curious. I remember awhile back being able to use tools that were supposed to hide your ip while online. Do those actually work? Also are there any still around?

If so what search parameters should I use? "stealth surfing" ip hiding? spy surfing?

I think that you are referring to an anonymous HTTP proxy server. Sure, there are many of them on the web via Google. I can't attest for their effectiveness.

If you are looking for some of the better freeware tools, you could start here:

Thanks "gramps". I'll check them out.

Yes that is the phrase I think I was looking for.

EDIT - I downloaded OPERA TOR and it seems to work. I checked whatismyip.com in my firefox browser and the operator browser and the opera tor browser was different. Thanks for the info.....

And keep in mind that not all proxy servers are secure. Just because they are not forwarding your IP, doesn't mean that they aren't logging all connections.
