On 09:01 By Lakshya Dhillon // 1 comment:

Everyone today surfing on internet is very seriously concerned about their Privacy. As the Cyber crime is increasing day by day, those who are not doing anything to hide their real identity must perform some necessary security actions so that no one can harm them online.

So here in this article, I am going to share with you some internet tips to browse and Surf internet anonymously.

3 Best Ways to Surf internet anonymously

1. Using Softwares :

There are several softwares available for personalizing your network connection and use a middle layer between you and your real network. It creates a virtual environment between the user and their internet connection. These are most popularly known as VPNs (Virtual Private Networks ). A VPN connection across the Internet is similar to a wide area network (WAN) link between the sites. From a user perspective, the extended network resources are accessed in the same way as resources available from the private network.

The high quality VPNs are normally paid which provides privacy to industries and other business organizations. But for normal users there are variety of VPNs available for free.

2. Using Tor Browser :

Tor browser is one of the leading and best known browser for anonymous surfing over the internet. It changes your original ip address to the ip address of some remote location. No one will be able to see your real ip when you surf sites using Tor browser. It looks much similar to Mozilla firefox but it reduces the speed of your internet connection upto some extent because every site which is being opened must be opened through the server of TOR organization.

You can download TOR Browser- Click here!

4. Using proxy sites :

If you don’t want to download and install any softwares or VPNs on your system for privacy, you can simply switch to these proxy sites. All you have to do is simply enter the desired URL in the input box given on the website instead of your browser’s address bar. These sites offer you online privacy for accessing web anonymously. Moreover these sites will provide you access to those sites which are blocked in your office or college. Proxy sites have ability to bypass the filters that restrict the access to several sites.

You can try these sites :

HideMyAss

AnonyMouse

VTunnel

So I Hope After reading this article there will be no doubt in your mind to Surf internet anonymously...

2. Download Facebook Videos With downvids

downvids.net is another web service that allows you to download any Facebook video you want. On the homepage, you get an input box to paste the URL of any Facebook video. Paste the video URL and click the download button. Once the applications completes fetching the video and creates the download link, you will be shown the download links for the video. You can also select the quality of the video you want to download.

3. Download Facebook Videos Manually

The direct URL to the Facebook video is revealed once you play the video on a mobile device. Since we can open the Facebook’s mobile version on our desktop browser, we can download videos using this trick.

Open any video on Facebook. Let the URL change in the browser’s address bar.
Change https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=935314979858204&set=vb.120674037988973&type=2&theater to https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?v=935314979858204&set=vb.120674037988973&type=2&theater

NOTE This trick was tested on Google Chrome and it worked perfectly fine on the latest version. It may/may not work on other browsers.

UPDATE Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer users need to use the Facebook mobile website, and then open the video to download it using right-click menu.
