How to Setup Your-Freedom to Use Static/Dedicated IP

Privacy is a right most people practice everyday. It’s why bathrooms have doors and locks, cubicles at the library are constructed to block out the glances of other patrons, voting laws that allow you to cast a ballot anonymously exist, and computers don’t sit on your lap in the subway (unless it’s really crowded, of course!) So it’s no surprise that people expect a certain amount of privacy when surfing the Internet. In fact, many people think their online activities are entirely anonymous – after all, no one can see you in the World Wide Web, right?
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Internet browsing is not necessarily anonymous, even though it may seem to be. First of all, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has the ability to log all the sites your IP (Internet Protocol) address visits. Your IP address is how your computer is identified every time you log on to the Internet. Secondly, the actual websites you visit can easily track your IP address and log it for future reference. Your IP address doesn’t specify your actual name, but it’s not difficult for the owner of a particular website to link your IP address to your ISP.

It’s safe to assume most Internet surfers value anonymity online because that is what makes the Internet a unique experience. For the first time in history, people from around the world with access to a computer have been able to connect to each other, communicate, and share information without having to disclose personal information. On the Internet your alias is your identity. It is this opportunity to remain anonymous that has allowed many people to practice freedom of speech and use the Internet as a tool of expression.
There are some reasons we might want to connect to the internet anonymously or by using a static/dedicated IP which is different from our original location IP.
To remain anonymous online there is a need for proxy tunnel software like your-freedom. Your-Freedom is just a flexible anonymizer and anti-censorship tool. It easily bypasses firewall as long as you get the configuration remains correct. It is described by the publisher as ‘internet most sophisticated proxy tunneling solution’. Before you can use this software, you need to create a free account with the publisher. The chosen username and password will allow you to access to all your freedom’s servers.
