Personal Proxy Software


Even if users have firewalls installed, their privacy is not necessarily
secured. While firewalls can keep nosy hackers out of users' systems, the
Web-surfing habits of the user can be used to harvest a bounty of personal
information. In addition to personal firewalls, users also need to install
personal proxy software.

Proxy software examines all the packets coming in to the user's Web browser.
As a new Web page is requested, the proxy examines the Web page's HTML,
scripts, and graphics. At the same time, it checks the user's preferences so
that it knows what he or she wants to view and what should be discarded. For
instance, if the user tells the proxy that they don't want to view banner
ads, the proxy will filter those ads out.

Some of the most common personal proxies are WebWasher (Windows, Linux, and
Mac OS), Junkbusters (Windows and Linux), Guidescope (Windows, Linux, and
Solaris), and AdSubtract (Windows). Each of these programs works
differently. Some block ads based on the URL, path, or file name, and some
base their filtering on dimensions (dimensions are easier to set up, but
URLs are more precise). Some proxies have a Web-based interface for
configuration, and some require the user to edit text files. Some of these
tools provide extensive logging, and others provide just a summary of
statistics (see below for an example of WebWasher's statistics). Some
software provides advanced debugging tools that can really help the user
figure out why something isn't working, and other software provides minimal
debugging abilities. Finally, cost is a factor. While most of the proxy
software I've mentioned is free, some charge a minimal fee.

The results of a personal proxy can be seen almost immediately. In
particular, Web pages will load more quickly. But a proxy also protects the
users privacy in the following ways:
