    what actually happens if someone finds out your IP address? I'm pretty computer illiterate in that area
    In this direction it is precisely the Marxist-Leninists who must be the most capable, the most wide-awake, the best organizers in order to become the subjective factor of the leadership of the revolution. In no way should we proceed from the idea that the conditions are not yet ripe for the revolution, or that the revolution cannot break out in the developed capitalist countries, therefore, we have to wait for it to develop in those states or continents in which the oppression, the forms and methods of exploitation are allegedly different from those in the metropolises. The working class and the Marxist-Leninist parties of the metropolises ought to give the peoples of various countries great aid, should assist their revolutionary movements. - Enver Hoxha The Marxist-Leninist Movement and the World Crisis of Capitalism

    Well, Hollywood movie interpretations aside, very little if its the average person. Consider your IP an ex-directory telephone number. If headcase skinhead from stormfront range up your phone company demanding information on the owner of a telephone number, unless he has a better reason than "I want to kill them" he's not going to get it. On the other hand, if you have been doing something illegal online, then your IP can be traced to your ISP and they would be legally obligated to hand over your information to the police. Other than that, I can locate your rough geographic location from it (I'll PM you what it says about yours). As for the idea that hackers are going to take over your computer, thats pretty damn rare these days provided you have a firewall or a router which most people do.

    Default Using ssh to proxy

    Anyone with Unix-like OSs or Linux with ssh, may use the following to setup a SOCKS proxy on the remote host you ssh into:
    ssh -D 127.0.0.1:1080 [email protected]

    Then change your browser settings to use a SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1 port 1080. All connections from your browser will appear to come from the host youre ssh'd into.

    Well I'm past my school's firewall right now and I am using the TOR IM browser package stored on my USB flashdrive quite easy to use and quite fast.
    I suggest it if your work or such blocks RevLeft or anyother site for that matter.
    Sadly I can't watch youtube videos though.

    Instructions would be to save the file and then extract it to either a USB drive or onto your computer.

    How come no YouTube?

    I'm thinking of getting a USB, getting Tor and bringing it to school

    Yes it works quite nicely for getting past the firewall.
    USB flashdrives are getting quite cheap I remember when I bought my first 256mb drive and it cost $15 now you can get 2gb for $5.
    Also no Youtube because it doesn't come with the player required.
    You could probably download that and put it on your flashdrive although I haven't tried it so I do not know if it would work.

    I've seen someone else recommend it, but to reiterate, Foxyproxy is a very good proxy built in to your web browsing, if you use Firefox.
    it may not be the most secure there is, but it should certainly be enough to keep from leaving that much of a trail.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464

    If you click add to firefox, then restart, it should be sitting in your status bar saying "Foxyproxy:" and either "disabled" or "Default". Set it to "default" unless you know what you're doing much better than I do, and can set your own proxy up, and then all browsing is done in (more) safety.

    Upon looking into it, I'm unsure as to whether setting it in "default" gives you an proxies, or if you have to add them yourself.
    To be on the safe side, click on the "foxyproxy" thing in the status bar, and just add all the proxies from the first post on this, it should alternate use of them for you randomly.

    Slightly unrelated, but on the topic of internet safety for Firefox users, another addon named "Web of Trust" I find quite useful. It works on a user review basis, everyone else with it rates websites for reliability, security etc, and if something has a poor rating it warns you, and gives you the option to navigate away before going on the website. it always checks that I actually want to go on Stormfront and warns me of the danger.
    If that's of any help to anyone - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3456
    I'd certainly recommend it.

    Default Painless and unblockable proxy?

    As RevLeft and other sites I use are blocked by WebSense at my local library I have been using various proxy sites to bypass the block.

    Unfortunatly after a few days the proxy no longer works and I have to find another one.

    However, I have found that I can bypass the block using Google Translator as a proxy and it is most unlikely that they will block Google.

    As the translator will not accept English to English or any other same language translation it is neccisary to open the web page in a different language and translate it back.

    From the Google home page click on Language Tools next to the search box.

    Scroll down to "Translate a web page"

    Put the web address you want to access into the address box.

    Set the translation drop downs to apropriate settings, I use English to French.

    Click on Translate.

    The website will open in the language you set it to translate to and will have the Google Translation controls at the top of the page.

    Reset the translation options to re-translate back to the language you want. In my case, French back to English.

    Quicker and easier than these instructions look and unlikely to be blocked.

    Other translators like BabelFish or Yahoo also work.

    By the way I think it's worth mentioning that by using http proxies or socks you are doing nothing to stop your ISP from recording everything you do since these proxies don't use encryption. TOR does.

    I would also like to point out that it is possible to change your MAC I.D. (Well Sort of). I don't understand it completely myself, but apparently, there are two layers of the MAC ID, one is burned into the NIC card, but one operates at a software layer. It is this second layer which can be changed, and for all intents and purposes, it is the only one that really matters since this is what servers see when your browser requests a page.

    It works differently for every OS, but I found on a Linux system pretty easy to do. There's even software that'll do it for you. The one thing to remember is that if you change your MAC ID, you have to refresh your IP address from your ISP, or else you will not be able to connect.

    One last thing, my router, as I imagine many routers do, have the capacity to change the MAC address of the router. However, I'm not sure if servers see the router MAC or the computer's when you log into a site. If anyone can enlighten me on this, I would be very grateful

    Question about web proxies. Does going to one proxy site, to go to another proxy site to go to a site like scum front add more protection?

    Yes. Whoever's trying to find you has to go through more effort every time you add a proxy. But the problem is this makes internet slower because pages have to be loaded by multiple sites.

    By the way I think it's worth mentioning that by using http proxies or socks you are doing nothing to stop your ISP from recording everything you do since these proxies don't use encryption. TOR does.
    Some website proxies have support for encryption. If they do the web address will say "https" at the front instead of just "http".

    How come no YouTube?
    It's because Flash (a software which YouTube uses to display its videos) can be used to get around proxies and read your IP.
