What is a proxy?
An anonymous proxy server generally attempts to anonymize web surfing. There are different varieties of anonymizers. One of the more common variations is the open proxy.
Because they are typically difficult to track, open proxies are especially useful to those seeking online anonymity, from political dissidents to computer criminals.
Some users are merely interested in anonymity for added security, hiding their identities from potentially malicious websites for instance,
or on principle, to facilitate constitutional human rights of freedom of speech, for instance.
Internet Security
When a computer connects to a network and begins communicating with other computers, it is essentially taking a risk. Internet security involves the protection
of a computer's Internet account and files from intrusion of an unknown user. Basic security measures involve protection by well selected passwords,
change of file permissions and back up of computer's data. Security concerns are in some ways peripheral to normal business working, but serve to highlight just how important it is
that business users feel confident when using IT systems. Security will probably always be high on the IT agenda simply because cyber criminals know that a successful attack
can be very profitable. This means they will always strive to find new ways to circumvent IT security, and users willconsequently need to be continually vigilant.
Whenever decisions need to be made about how to enhance a system, security will need to be held uppermost among its requirements.
