I keep hearing references to 'proxies' as a method of anonymity. The only information that I've been able to find, deals with firewalls on networked systems.
Are 'proxies' applicable to personal PCs using browsers, such as Netscape?
Proxies aren't any use towards anonymity on a single user system. They can be very useful on a network, regardless of whether a firewall exists or not.
Would appreciate any info or leads to information sources.
