Which anonymizer is better for contact? Anonymizer or proxy for online shopping

Nowadays, almost every person uses social networks. People surf websites during the workday, at home, while commuting, and so on. Often this passion for social networks leads to big problems At work. This is why many employers block access to Odnoklassniki, VKontakte and other sites. However, there is an easy way to get around this ban. In this article you will learn how to log into Odnoklassniki for free through an anonymizer.

How do these services work?

If access to this address is blocked, you will not be able to access the social network through a bookmark in the browser, by entering the site address, or in other ways. But craftsmen did not ignore this problem and came up with a way to circumvent the ban. First, let's look at the types of blocking:

• local by writing to system file. You can read more about this in the next section of our website;
• prohibition by the provider. In this case, you will have to resort to the help of an anonymizer.

An anonymizer is a service for visiting a particular resource without disclosing information about the user. This way, your employer will not be able to find out about your activities and will only view your browsing history within the limits of the permitted resources.

You can access the Odnoklassniki website through the anonymizer for free and without restrictions in two ways:

• mobile version of Odnoklassniki-anonymizer (unofficial application);
• web resources.

You can also use the mirror provided by the social network. When activated, you will always be offline, which is displayed on your page, and visits will not be recorded. however this service is paid. Below is a list of popular anonymizers.

Chameleon

If Odnoklassniki is blocked on your computer, you can open the site for free through the Chameleon anonymizer. You can find it at http://cameleo.ru. Let's figure out how to log in:

• open the link in any convenient browser;
• On the main screen, enter the address of your Odnoklassniki page;
• Press the "GO" button.

After completing all the steps you will be redirected to the main page social network. However, due to the popularity of the service, many providers began to block Chameleon. You can log in to “My Page” in Odnoklassniki through another free anonymizer, which is described below.

This service was created to log into Chameleon. The principle of operation is the same. On the main screen you need to enter the site address and click the “Open” button. If this does not help, then click the “Change IP address” button.

Disadvantages of anonymizers

If you use services too often, then experienced specialist will immediately detect the mirror address and block it. Therefore, try to change anonymizers to arouse less suspicion.

Also on our website you can familiarize yourself with useful information about and about the ways in which you can leave Odnoklassniki.

How to log into OK via anonymizer?

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. You probably know that any of your actions on the network (website pages viewed, files downloaded, videos watched) can be tracked, and from completely different places (by contacting your Internet provider, rummaging through your computer, or searching in the logs of the sites you visited ). Anonymity on the Internet exists only if you don’t start “digging deep.”

There are some solutions to the “leaving trace problem” that we have already covered. For example, you can and then no traces of your visits will be saved on your computer. Or, for example, when blocking access to some sites (for example, to log into Contact or Odnoklassniki from a work computer).

But there is a much more comprehensive solution - this is the so-called TOR. Essentially this is software, which with a very high degree of probability allows you to hide from prying eyes everything you do and have done on the Internet. It’s precisely on the basis of this technology that it works Tor Browser, which will be discussed today. Essentially, it wraps complex technology in the shell of a normal-looking browser, accessible to any Internet user, which everyone can use. But its filling is unusual...

What is TOR?

I don’t want to overload you with technical terms and concepts that, by and large, will be superfluous. I’ll just literally describe in a nutshell (on my fingers) the principle of operation of the Thor technology and the system built on its basis Tor Browser. This knowledge will allow you to understand what to expect from this software, what strengths and weak sides he has the ability to consciously apply it to his needs.

So, initially all this was brewed in one of the US military departments. Why they needed it, history is silent, but at the beginning of the 2000s the beginnings of Thor technology were completely unexpectedly laid out in general access. And they were open source codes and this software became freely distributed. What does it mean? And how much can you trust such a “gift”?

The question is fair, but you can trust it precisely because the code of this technology is open. The fact is that since then (over a decade and a half) these program codes Hundreds, if not thousands of people who understand this have studied (and made changes) and no “bookmarks” or “secret doors” were found. Where we're talking about about safety(in our case, transfer and storage of information), it is better to work with open source software (software).

By the way, this is why when choosing n, but for . They simply belong to the category of free software and their code has been checked by thousands of competent specialists. It’s somehow calmer, because I store a lot of passwords for services tied to money and losing them would be very expensive.

So, TOP technology allows you to access websites and download something from the network without leaving any traces behind. That is, when you open, for example, a website through the Tor Browser, it will be impossible to track the IP address of your computer on this website (and therefore to identify you). Even your Internet provider will not understand (even if you want) that you visited this site (and it will be impossible to prove it). Well, the browser itself will not store all traces of your wanderings on the Internet.

Wonderful, isn't it? I understand that in this way people can cover up their dark affairs. Not without this, of course. But the general idea of ​​the Thor is still bright - to provide the Internet user with real freedom in the form complete anonymity. For example, in some countries access to certain resources may be blocked without justification, but Tor Browser will allow you to bypass these obstacles and not be punished for this violation, because they will not know that you did it (or will not prove it). But that's not the point...

How TOR works? This is called onion routing. Look. There is a network of nodes owned by adherents of this technology. Three arbitrary nodes are used to transmit data. But which ones? And this is precisely what no one knows.

The Tor browser sends a packet to the first node, and it contains the encrypted address of the second node. The first node knows the key for the encryption and, having learned the address of the second, forwards the packet there (it’s like removing the first layer of an onion). The second node, having received the packet, has a key to decrypt the address of the third node (another layer has been removed from the onion). Thus, from the outside it is not possible to understand which site you ended up opening in your Tor Browser window.

But please note that only the path is encrypted(routing), and the contents of the packets themselves are not encrypted. Therefore, to transmit secret data, it would be better to first encrypt it (at least in the TruCrypt mentioned above), since the possibility of intercepting it (for example, using sniffers) exists.

In addition, this technology there are a few more disadvantages(or features):

1. Your ISP (or anyone else who monitors your traffic) may realize that you are using Tor. He won't know what you're watching or doing online, but sometimes the mere fact of knowing you're hiding something can have consequences. Take this into account and, if possible, study ways to enhance camouflage (and they exist), if this is critical for you.
2. The TOR network does not use special high-speed equipment, but, in fact, regular computers. This brings up another drawback - speed the transmission of information in this secret network can vary significantly and sometimes it is clearly not enough for, for example, viewing media content.

Where can I download the official Russian version of Tor Browser?

On this blog I have already published an article on that. There was also mention of the Torah. Naturally, it is better and safer to download any product from the developers’ website, i.e. the official one (I think you know). The Tor Browser download page is located at this address (I repeat once again that for security reasons it is better to download from the official website):

Please note that before clicking on the download button, you must select a language. The default is English, but you can select a dozen more options from the drop-down list, including fully localized Russian version. This is how it will work more pleasantly when the interface language is native.

Although, during installation you will again be asked about your preferred interface language and you can also select Russian there. Otherwise, the installation process is no different from installing any other browser.

However, when you first launch you will be asked if you need to make additional settings to connect with TOR network . In the vast majority of cases, it will be enough to simply click on the “Connect” button:

It will take some time for the browser to successfully connect to the Tor network:

After this, a window will open in a browser that looks normal at first glance, but works with the Internet by creating encrypted tunnels (analogues).

However, the developers themselves emphasize that Thor is not a panacea(at least with default settings). Therefore, those who are paranoid about absolute anonymity are advised to follow the link for clarification on this matter.

How to use the Tor browser?

When you first load the browser, you are immediately prompted use anonymizer to search at disconnect.me. Actually, it is this service that will be used as “ ” in this browser (you can change this in the settings), i.e. when entering a request for again open tabs browser or when entering it through address bar The disconnect.me anonymizer will open on any tab with search results.

The search is actually carried out by Google (you can select from the settings in top panel service - see screenshot below), but no traces of who exactly conducted the search remain (remember, I wrote about the fact that, but in fact, nothing can be permanently deleted, so those who are concerned about anonymity need to remember this).

Don't forget also select search language(in the top panel of the disconnect.me window on the right), because thanks to the anonymizer, Google will not be able to recognize your preferred language automatically. Although, by choosing, for example, Russian, you to some extent lift the veil of secrecy about your incognito for this search engine. But here you need to make a compromise - either convenience, .

Yes, the Tor browser will also warn you when you first click on the link that it is better to load pages in English, to avoid, so to speak.

Personally, I chose the “No” option, because convenience is more important to me, and I don’t speak any other languages ​​besides Russian. Alas and ah.

By the way, you can check it yourself that you have indeed been “encrypted”. To do this, it will be enough to go to the site from any other browser, and then do the same from under Thor. As you can see, TOR replaces (I became a sultry Norwegian) and this is only a small part of protecting your anonymity.

By the way, if you click on the onion to the left of the address bar, you will be able to see the same chain of three nodes (proxy) that separates your computer from the site you are visiting (I wrote about onion routing just above):

If desired, this chain of nodes can be changed. You can also change your “browser-created personality” if you don’t like the current one. However, this will close all open tabs in Tor and it will be automatically reloaded.

Here you can also access security settings:

By default, all privacy settings (anonymity are enabled), but the security level is at the lowest level due to the fact that only in this case you all functions of this browser will be available. When setting the security settings of the Tor browser to "high" a whole bunch browser functions will be available only after their forced activation (i.e., everything is disabled by default). For me this is overkill, so I left everything as it was, but you can choose something in the middle (compromise).

Otherwise Tor Browser is similar to Mozilla Firefox , because it is essentially assembled on its basis. This will be clearly visible when you go to settings (by clicking on the button with three horizontal lines in the right top corner):

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Sometimes it happens that it is impossible to log into VKontakte using your account. The reason lies in the blocking of social networks by the system administrator from your work or place of study. What should you do if you urgently need to visit your account, but it is impossible to do so?

The most optimal solution will use workarounds, among which there is an anonymizer or a mirror. About how it all works and what it is needed for, just below.

Login to VK

How to log into your VK page

Login to the social network is carried out exclusively through the main page, accessible via the link - http://vk.com. It should be taken into account official address, because there are replica sites that look like the original login pages, but transmit all the information received to the attackers.

So, by going to the proposed address, you will see a capital VKontakte page. Pay attention to the authorization window located on the left. You will be asked to enter email or phone, supplementing them with password information. Then click on the “Login” button. If no errors were made when entering data, authorization will occur and you can safely spend time on your page.

Login to VK to your page

How to access a page on VK through an anonymizer

An anonymizer is a specialized service aimed at hiding information about the user when working on the network. They are used as intermediate points necessary for authorization on one of the sites that are closed to free access by the system administrator or provider.

The technology hides the user's real address, which allows you to bypass the blocking without any problems. Simply put, the system does not even notice the user’s presence on a prohibited site.

The number of anonymizers is quite large, so you can choose any one, because they work on a similar principle. However, for the security of your personal data, do not forget to change your password after using such services. The following service will be given as an example: https://2ip.ru/anonim/.

After clicking on the link, you will see a form to fill out. The country whose IP will be used to log in will be listed here. Nearby is a line for the site we plan to visit. In the URL we enter the previously encountered http://vk.com. You can select any country from the list, but in some cases the redirection will not work. It is best to give your preference to United Kingdom or Germany. All that remains is to click on “Open”, after which you will be redirected to the VK main page.

As you can see in the address bar, the link will look different, since it will reflect a visit to the site through a proxy server used by the anonymizer.

Simply put, you get the opportunity to hide your activity from the system administrator.

We enter through the mirror

By clicking on the address above, you will find yourself at home page mirrors It will not be difficult to understand it, because it is completely translated into Russian. All you have to do is enter the link address to view and click “Go”. Popular queries, which are in high demand, are slightly lower, and the necessary VK will be on the first line.

Then everything happens in a similar way and you are redirected to the main page of the social network. In this case, you will log in using a mirror, so it will not be possible to track your activity, at least System Administrator definitely won't notice anything.

How to log into VK through a mirror on a mobile phone

The options above may not display pages correctly if you exit through mobile gadgets. In this case the best solution will use the service http://apidog.ru/auth.php. It has long established itself as a trusted platform and allows you to visit your account through any operating system.

It is worth noting that it was created exclusively for visiting social VKontakte networks, so if you want to navigate through other resources, we advise you to pay attention to the options given above.

So, by visiting the address above, you will see an informative window with fields for logging into your account. The system with which you plan to access the social network will be indicated below. By default it is Android. To change the settings, just click once on the list and select the option you need. By the way, there is a mobile OS not only from Google, but also from Apple. Just choose an iPad or iPhone. The developers did not forget about support for BlackBerry and Windows Phone.

By the way, the service will be useful not only for those who want to bypass the ban on using VK, but also to appear online in an offline status. This means that strangers will not be able to find out what you do at work or for what purpose you access the social network.

It is worth noting that this method does not always demonstrate the desired result and may not work properly. The reason for the malfunctions lies in the social network’s policy, which, at any opportunity, blocks such services in order to eradicate alternative ways visiting your account in any way other than the official page.

Additional options

In addition to all the services described above, there is auxiliary software that facilitates visiting the social network. First of all, this concerns special browsers with built-in anonymizer. By the way, they are often equipped with an additional VPN, which allows you to visit blocked sites.

If you don't want to install additional software, the solution can be found in plugins. Already in browser stores great amount suitable options that can be used to solve the problem. They work on the same principle as individual services, that is, they allow the user to visit pages on behalf of another browser.

Bottom line

All the methods described above, although they operate within the law, are oppressed by the governments of some countries. A striking example of this is the scandal surrounding the blocking of torrent trackers and instant messengers in the Russian Federation. But be that as it may, as long as they are available online, you can use any of the options offered.

It will not be possible to name exactly which is better to give preference, because all options can be equally named excellent solutions to get out of an uncomfortable situation when visiting a social network is deliberately blocked.

The only caveat is the handling of your account. The whole problem is that all these services require you to enter your data for authorization. There is no certainty that the information about your account will not be transferred to third parties who can do with it as they wish. Therefore, do not forget to monitor your security and promptly change your password after using mirrors for a long time.

While the buyer is usually faced with the task of finding required product cheaper, stores are interested in selling it as expensive as possible by hook or by crook. We will list the main tricks that some people use, and then we will tell you how to get around these artificial barriers.

• One way is to use regional restrictions. To do this, stores use IP to determine the country or region where the buyer came from and offer the appropriate language version. But the matter is usually not limited to language. Having determined the country, the store can automatically convert prices into the buyer’s currency and, as a rule, it does this at an unfavorable rate. Also, on the localized version of the site, prices may be significantly higher than, for example, in the version for the USA and Europe, and there may be no sections with the best sales.
• A type of regional restriction is a ban on purchases from certain countries. IN in this case you simply won't be able to access the store's website because it only works with IP addresses from, for example, the US or Europe. Examples: , .

Are there ways to counteract store restrictions? Yes, the buyer can use anonymizers, proxies and VPNs for this. This way you can access the most low prices, profitable and to the newest collections, which will not soon reach local stores.

The operating principle of the listed services is similar to each other: instead of your IP, the store’s website will see the service’s IP and will assume that you did not come from Russia, but, for example, from the Netherlands or the UK. The differences between these workaround options lie in in a specific way implementation and additional capabilities.

1. Anonymizers— online services that hide your real IP when you follow a link. This is the easiest way to bypass regional restrictions because it does not require installation of programs and additional settings. It is enough to know the addresses of popular anonymizers, and then each time insert a link to the store’s website into the address bar of the service and go to it under someone else’s IP.

Advantages:

• work in any browser, including mobile;
• does not require installation additional programs and settings.

Flaws:

• time-consuming if you need to browse many stores;
• some services are not supported secure protocol https.

Examples of anonymizers for shopping

is one of the oldest and most proven anonymizers, working since 1997. IN demon paid version There is no way to view store sites that use the https protocol, and these are almost all foreign online stores. Thus, the free version is only suitable for quickly comparing prices. Inserts your advertisements on the pages you view.

— a service that has many settings: selecting a country, the ability to work using the https protocol and without it, disabling and enabling scripts. The service can be recommended as the main anonymizer. For the abundance of opportunities you have to pay by watching ads.

— domestic service. Extremely simple - insert required address to the line and click Hide me. Works with https and does not insert your own advertisements. It does not provide a country selection, but usually uses an IP address from Germany. Recommended for those who want to gain access to closed stores in a simple way without additional settings.

And yes, popular online translators are also essentially anonymizers, but in addition to access to closed sites, you will also receive their translation, which can be relevant, especially when it comes to stores.

2. Proxy — special servers, which are a kind of intermediaries during browsing: first, your browser sends a request to the proxy server, and then the proxy server requests information from the final site. The destination site sees the proxy's IP, but not yours.

Advantages:

• suitable for browsing many stores;
• work with all browsers.

Flaws:

• require more advanced but simple browser settings;
• you need to select a proxy from the IP of the desired country;
• For security reasons, the use of some web technologies may be limited, without which the site will not work correctly.

Examples of proxies for shopping

— a regularly updated list of proxy servers from more than 60 countries. You can choose based on response speed, supported protocols and degree of anonymity. For each server, its IP address and connection port are indicated.

— an extensive list of proxy servers, where you can select an address from 100 countries, and also specify the city. Information about supported protocols, security, and speed is also provided.

- the most affordable and reliable proxy possible, which also provides faster browsing. The only drawback is that you cannot select the country you are visiting the site from.

3.VPN- the most advanced version of a proxy, which creates an encrypted channel between your computer and the VPN server, which acts as an intermediary. The final store website sees only the VPN server address, but not yours. Using a VPN requires higher user qualifications.

Advantages:

• some VPN services allow you to change your address to the IP of the desired country in a few clicks;
• you can browse many stores;
• encryption ensures the security of payment data transmission.

Flaws:

Examples of proven free VPN services for shopping

— a service with restrictions in the free version of up to 300 MB per day. IPs available from USA, UK, France and Germany. Supports all popular desktop and mobile platforms.

— in the free version there are only 3 countries (USA, Germany, France), but as a rule, they are quite enough for anonymous shopping. Also works on all platforms and provides unlimited traffic.

— free service without traffic restrictions, but with the only IP in a country from the European Union - in Latvia. Otherwise, this is a standard VPN service that works on all platforms.

4. Proxies, anonymizers and VPNs in the form of extensions for browsers and mobile applications.

On this moment Some popular proxies and anonymizers are available as easy-to-install plugins for desktop browsers and mobile platforms. This is one of the simplest and convenient ways gain access to closed online stores.

Advantages:

• easy installation;
• turn on and off in 2 clicks;
• switching between countries also takes place in a few clicks;
• Suitable for viewing multiple sites at once.
- work with Chrome browsers, FireFox, Opera. Servers are available in the USA, UK, Netherlands and Singapore. More countries are represented in the paid version. There is a version for iOS, but not for Android.



is a convenient proxy extension for Chrome, the advantage of which is the ability to configure a list of sites to visit from foreign IPs. That is, all the rest of your traffic will be transmitted directly, and the proxy will be used in automatic mode only when it is really needed. There is no choice of countries, but an address from France is usually used.
