Proxymoo

Aren’t you sometimes surprised that those advertisements that you see when you surf seem to know your exact location? Blame your IP address. Your IP address is your identification to the cyberspace. IP addresses, or internet protocol addresses, tell everybody your real location. Each computer which is connected to the Internet has an IP address – and basically a way for everybody to know where everyone is.

Your IP address could be a way to pinpoint your identity, especially for those techie people who know how things work around the cyberspace. To prevent such to happen, people resort to a IP changer or proxy sites. These services mask your real IP address, giving off a fake address to other people.

However, free proxy websites may do more harm than good when you use them. Simply put, you can easily change your IP address by letting you surf the Internet using their IP addresses, protecting your own address and even your identity. But what other people do not know is that these proxy sites may be places for hackers and other people to use their skills and break into users’ real IP addresses.
