So, you are here because you want to be anonymous online. You do not want to be tracked by website or scammers or anyone with a malicious intent. There are a lot of reasons to want to be anonymous online, and there are a lot of ways to achieve this goal. I am going to go over the most popular routes.
First let me first go over some basics.
Every time you open a web browser you request a ip address of the website from your DNS server, and they are cached on your computer. This allows you to be tracked.
In the download portion of this tutorial there is a program called Ccleaner, aka Crap Cleaner. It can clear your cache, dns settings and flash cookies, which are the worst kind of cookies.
Flash cookies are harder than regular cookies to get rid of, and they track you just like all cookies. Make sure to delete these.
Download ccleaner and create a batch file to easily clean your browser of cookies and dns cookies when you are done browsing.

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
A VPN will route your traffic through a 128 bit encrypted tunnel through a server, showing the public the server's IP address and not yours. I cannot stress enough the importance of using a VPN if you want to hide your traffic online.
This will even hide your traffic from your ISP, so if you are getting warnings from torrenting, provided your vpn allows torrents, you will no longer receive complaints from them. A VPN can be tracked as easily as your own IP address however if the VPN owner keeps logs of your traffic. I suggest finding a VPN that does not keep logs. Do not trust free VPNs to not keep logs.
I suggest Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN, and no I am not paid in any way to promote it, nor am I affiliated with it in anyway, I bought it, and because I was so impressed with it I befriended Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ and found out all I could about the product. He isn't a reseller, he is the owner, creator and operator of it, and he does a good job. I have used other VPNs, and they did their jobs but some kept logs, and were was more that $5, which is the current price of Σɴɪɢᴍᴀ VPN.

Proxies
Proxies are also method of hiding you IP address, much like a vpn they reroute your IP address through a server. The difference is there are more options, and more issues as well. You can use proxies in your web browser, torrent client and there is even a firewall that allows proxies. I personally only use proxies for my torrent client, however there is other uses for them if you don't already have a VPN. For a list of proxies see this thread: Black Shadow's Proxy list
Tor
In the download section of this tutorial is Tor, which is a way to stay anonymous by using various proxies configured in their browser, they give you insightful tips on how to use their product so I won't go over it, but you can see it in the download link.
Are you secure?
To make sure you are anonymous you need make sure your computer is secure. Run a virus scan, check for malware and make sure you are not infected. If you are, you are already compromised. If you think you are compromised follow the instructions in the whitehat help section of this forum.
Encrypt your information locally- To keep yourself secure you should also encrypt your hard drives, that way the data is secure from anyone who doesn't know the password to them. Try true crypt in the download section of this tutorial, it's comprehensive and free.
Use a Key Scrammbler- A key scrambler scrambles your keystrokes so that keyloggers cannot log your passwords and information. For instance, you type something, lets say you type "hf is awesome" the key scrambler would type something like "sdlskd 54sd5s4fds5dfs20" That way no one would be able to use a keylogger on you. You can find a link to s freeware key scrambler in the download section of this tutorial.

There are a lot of reasons to want to be anonymous online, and there are a lot of ways to achieve this goal. I am going to go over the most popular routes.
First let me first go over some basics.
- When on a forum, always use a different name on each one. By doing this, people cannot track your actictivity on other forums.
- Never use your real name, this one is obvious.
- Don't allow tracking cookies.
- Limit Java scripts.
- Do not use addons to your browser.
- Clear your cache often.
- Use a proxy on skype so no one can resolve your ip address.
- Create disinformation to keep people off of your trial, following false leads with fake information.
- Create a new identity - Click here for a new identity
- Above all else, do not be stupid online. If you try to do something that will get the FBI on you, they will find you.
