Introduction
Now, I will demonstrate
various ways on how to remain anonymous on the Internet. Privacy is a must, in
today's world. Currently, there are a lot of crimes going on, such as Swatting,
Doxing etc. When our identity gets leaked, it is a big loss for us and it is
somewhat one of the big mistakes of our lives. Which is why, staying secure,
and anonymous online is essential.
This tutorial is about two types of protection.
Online Protection
Offline Protection
First, we should get some offline protection. There are many ways on protecting
ourselves. Remember, you should always have offline protection before hacking.
Pro Tip : Never trust anyone on the Internet. There are a lot of bots and
individuals that add us on IM services for the sole purpose of infecting us.
Offline Protection
Note : In this part, offline protection refers to protecting your computer from
viruses, Trojans, root kits, etc. It may also refer to encryption, such as File
Encryption, OS protection, and such. It is very important to protect your files
because we can't always trust the ways of Online Anonymity. If it goes wrong,
our offline protection should save us. Trojans and viruses remain a great
challenge to our Anonymity. There are always Trojans around and if we get
infected, the attacker may use our machine as a proxy, and has full control on
our machines.

many people.
Online Protection
Now we are moving to Online Protection. As you know, this is very important
also more than Offline Protection. Common methods of Online protection are
discussed below.
Types of Online Protection
VPN(s)
Proxies
Tor
SSH Tunneling
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses primarily public
telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote
offices or traveling users access to a central organizational network.
VPN provides us a secure way of connecting to websites by hiding our IP and
encrypting our information.

Conclusion
It is a proven fact that nobody can be fully anonymous on the Internet.
However, that does not mean nobody is secure. We should take steps to protect
ourselves in the World Wide Web. Daily, a large amount of Cyber Crimes occurs
and Identity theft is one of them. Black Hats ruin peoples' lives for personal
gain. It is our duty to remain secure. I sincerely hope this guide helped you.
