What kind of information about my computer can be collected by web sites?
When you surf the Internet, web sites collect and record usage information about your computer such as your IP address, browser type, configuration of a browser (display resolution, color depth, java / javascript support, etc.), operating system you are using, web pages last visited. Some of this information, for example browser type, operating system, etc. automatically comes from your browser. Other information, for example display resolution, color depth, local time, java / javascript support, etc. can be collected if you enable scripts while surfing.

Why should I be concerned about my privacy?
When you surf the Internet, any web resource you access can gather and record usage information about you such as your IP address, location, time of day, browser type, browser language, software configuration, operating system you are using, web pages last visited and other information that you might want to keep confidential.
IP address (Internet Protocol address) is your internet identification number. Everyone has an IP address to communicate on the Internet, in other words it's like a telephone number or mailing address. Using your IP it is possible to know your country, city, internet provider and even physical address. Hackers and identity thieves can use this information to steal personal information, spy upon you or cause damage to your PC. It is possible to restrict accessing any information or provide customized content to specific IP.
While most sites use information about OS and browser to provide a better surfing experience this information can also be used by hackers for virus attacks that use weaknesses in your system to get access to the content of your hard drive or RAM, steal personal information or cause damage to your computer.
Information about last visited web pages can be used to track your web usage and profile your browsing habits. Spammers can use this information to send you spam and junk e-mails.
Some sites use scripts and Java applets. While most of them are useful, some are harmful as can be used to get access to your personal information or cause damage to your PC based on the information about your computer. Information about system settings can be used to track your location and spy upon you. Spammers can track your web usage and profile your browsing habits to send you spam and junk e-mails.
Using malicious scripts and Java applets it is possible to get various information about your computer. Some kinds of your computer information (ex. screen resolution) are harmless and can be used for statistical research or providing special advertisement. But some information is not as harmless (ex information about your disks, etc) and can be used by hackers to get access and cause damage to your computer.
As you surf the web, most web sites send cookies to your computer to track your Internet usage. Some cookies are "good" cookies, used for legitimate purposes, such as storing preferences, account information and remembering the choices you have made on the site. Some cookies are "bad" cookies. Bad cookies are used to track your browsing habits, purchase history, etc.

What is an IP address?
IP address (Internet Protocol address) is your internet identification number. Everyone has an IP address to communicate on the Internet, in other words it's like a telephone number or mailing address. Using your IP it is possible to know your country, city, internet provider and even physical address.

What is a proxy server?
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the Internet resource(s) you are accessing. The data you request come to the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you. A proxy server receives a request for an Internet service (such as a web page request) from a user. If the proxy server is also a cache server, it can use its local cache of previously downloaded web pages to provide the page without forwarding the request to the Internet. If the page is not in the cache, the proxy server uses one of its own IP addresses to request the page from the server on the Internet. When the page is returned, the proxy server relates it to the original request and forwards it to the user.
Top
What anonymity levels of HTTP proxy servers exist?
- Transparent - these proxies are not anonymous. They don't hide IP-address of a client and let a web server know that you are surfing through a proxy server. The task of such proxies, as a rule, is information caching and/or support of Internet access for several computers via single connection. Such proxies are not applicable for security and privacy while surfing on net. You can use them only for network speed improvement.
- Anonymous - these proxies don't show your real IP but change the request fields so it is very easy to detect that you are using proxy.
- High Anonymous - these proxy servers do not pass an IP-address of a client and don't send any variables indicating that you are using proxy server to host and look like real browser.
Top
Why should I use proxy servers?
Speed improvement: Proxy servers accumulate and save files that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a special database, called cache. Therefore, proxy servers are able to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it immediately.
Security and privacy. Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP address saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it. So you can safely surf the web and your information will never be used by hackers and spammers.
Sometimes you may encounter problems while accessing to web server when server administrator restricted access from your IP or even from wide IP range (for example restricting access from certain countries or geographical regions). You can try to access those pages using an anonymous proxy server.
Top
What is HTTP proxy server?
HTTP proxy server is a proxy allowing to work on the Internet with HTTP and (not always) FTP protocols. It can carry out caching of information downloaded from the Internet.
Now HTTP proxy servers are the most widespread. Their support (ability to use them) is included into many programs: browsers, download managers etc. However, their support is not realized at a level of an operating system – in order to use them, you should configure all programs, which should use proxies, in an appropriate way.
HTTP proxy servers have several anonymity levels.
Top
What is SOCKS?
SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol that enables hosts on one side of a SOCKS server to gain full access to hosts on the other side of the SOCKS server without requiring direct IP-reachability. SOCKS is often used as a network firewall, redirecting connection requests from hosts on opposite sides of a SOCKS server. The SOCKS server authenticates and authorizes requests, establishes a proxy connection, and relays data between hosts.
There are two major versions of SOCKS: SOCKSv4 and
SOCKSv5.
For more information, see: SOCKS Overview and SOCKS FAQ
Top
What is a proxy chain?
A Proxy chain is a connection of 2 or more proxy servers. ProxyWay allows to work with any Internet service through a chain of SOCKS or HTTP(S) proxies. Using the program you can create proxy services with any number of proxy servers in the chain (supports HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5) to provide IP address security and tunnel Internet activity through proxy servers.
Top
What are cookies and how do they work?
A cookie is a piece of data which often includes an unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a web site you visit, stores as a file on your computer, identifies you as a unique user and track your web usage. In certain cases (determined by the data in the cookie itself), the client returns the cookie to the server that originally delivered it. Persistent cookies are created in order to recognize users when they return to a website and enable the site to offer a customized experience tailored to that user - such as remembering your name and password on protected login pages.
Top
Where are cookies stored?
Cookie data is stored on the user's hard drive. The filename is different for each platform. For example, on Windows machines, cookie data is stored in *.txt files.
Top
Can cookies read information from a user's hard drive?
No. Cookies can only store data that is provided by the server or generated by an explicit user action.
Top
How do web sites use cookies? Can cookies be used maliciously?
Most cookies are useful in web surfing. Some cookies ("session cookies") last only until you close your browser. This type of cookie is mainly used to remember choices that you make as you navigate through a web site.
Many sites leave cookies on your computer so that they recognize you when you return to their sites. These cookies ("persistent cookie") identify you so that options and preferences that you have chosen in the past are used for your current visit to the site. The Internet offers a wide variety of useful services such as free e-mail accounts, online forums, and e-commerce sites. The use of cookies is essential for these sites. Without cookies, for example, the sites would have no way to track the items that you placed into your virtual shopping cart as you browsed about the site.
But, in one of their malevolent forms, cookies from one web site might track your visits to a different web site. For example, most of the ads that you see on web sites do not come from the site that you are viewing, but from sites that provide ads to many sites. When the advertising site displays the ad, it can send cookies on your computer. This lets the advertising company track your web usage over a range of sites and profile your browsing habits.

What is Java applet?
Java applet is a small program that runs in a restricted environment that is managed by your browser. Most Java applets are used to add multimedia effects, interactivity, or other functionality to a Web page, but they can be used for malicious purposes.
Top
Are Java applets threat to my security?
Java applets are applications that run in your browser. While most of these applications are useful and commonly used to improve the appearance and functionality of web sites, some are harmful as can be used in ways not conceived of by its developers. For example, Java applets written by an attacker can cause potentially hostile programs to be automatically downloaded while your are viewing a legitimate web page and run on your computer. The downloaded program could try to access or damage the data on your machine, for example to insert a virus, to cause damage to your computer or steal sensitive information. ProxyWay lets you block Java applets and scripts to minimize this risk.
Top
Can scripts (JavaScript, Visual Basic Script) be used maliciously?
Yes. While most of scripts are useful and used to increase the functionality of web sites, some are harmful as can be used to get access to your personal information or cause damage to your PC based on the information about your computer. Using malicious scripts and Java applets it is possible to get various information about your computer. Some kinds of your computer information (ex. screen resolution) are harmless and can be used for statistical research or providing special advertisement. But some information is not as harmless (ex information about your disks, etc) and can be used by hackers to get access and cause damage to your computer. Besides, malicious scripts can change your browser settings. To avoid the problem turn scripts off while surfing, and only turn them on when a site you trust and want to use requires them. Scripts disabling will keep you from being vulnerable to malicious scripts, however, it will limit the interaction you can have with some web sites.
Top
Why should I remove traces of my Internet activity?
As you browse the Internet, your computer is tracking all your local or Internet computer activities. So, anyone who can access your computer is able to know your web surfing history, images and videos you have seen, documents and files you have opened and many others.
Using ProxyWay you can protects your Internet and local computer activity from other people monitoring:
