An anonymizer is a tool that makes it harder to trace a user's online activity, by hiding their identity.
How it works
- An anonymizer acts an intermediary between a user's device and the Internet, masking the user's IP address,
and other identifying information. This makes it appear as if the user is browser from a different location
Types of anonymizers
- Anonymizers can take the form of proxies, VPNs, or special networks like Tor. Each method offers different
levels of security.
Uses
- Anonymizers can be used for:
Limitations
- Not all anonymizers provide complete anonymity, and some may have limitations or security risks. Anonymization is not
foolproof, and there is always a risk that sensitive data could be re-identified or de-anonymized.
Anonymizer! The term is new to me in context of Cybersecurity. What about you?
