Anonycat - Anonymous Surfing
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
DETAILS
Anonycat is a tool that allows users to download content of web sites and
display it without breaking the anonymity of the user.
Benefits of Anonymous Surfing:
* Bypass overly restrictive corporate firewalls or net-nanny/monitoring
software
* Hide your true ip address, browser, and operating system when you surf
* Avoid cookies, without giving up web applications that require cookies
* Surf without images to preserve bandwidth, without sacrificing the page
layout
* Shop online with an alternate ip address to detect regional/pattern
based price differences
Limitations:
* Websites that contain scripts may redirect you away from the anonycat
service or cause the page to load images and content without going through
the proxy. The option to filter out all scripts is in the works.
Alternatively, disabling scripting in your browser will bulletproof your
anonycat surfing sessions. <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q154036/>
[How To for Internet Explorer]
* Websites that contain scripts using relative path names will not
operate properly.
