A Message From Operator Pat:
This free, anonymous web-surfing service is provided for users of
TELECOM Digest and Telecom Archives as a way to do some
serious net surfing while remaining anonymous. Operator Pat
will help you be anonymous in your net surfing, by routing your 'call'
through various proxy servers along the way. See details below about how it works, or experienced netizens can start surfing now!
Click as shown to send an anonymous single email letter or Usenet newsgroup posting.
If you need an anonymous web surfing tool regularly
you may wish to
simply bookmark this page to access it easily.
If so, please become
a Friend of Telecom Digest.
First, make sure you understand how anonymous web page servers work,
what they do and what they cannot do by reading carefully
below. Use an anonymous email address for an
extra layer of privacy if desired. Operator Pat cannot be
responsible and will not be held liable for any unintended
consequences as a result of your improper or illegal use of this
service. Do NOT download images or files which are illegal to possess in the
place from which you are calling!
Remember how telephone company 'loop-arounds' used to work to hide your
identity and confuse things? Well, Operator Pat can help you do the
same thing when surfing the net. Enter a URL and click the 'connect
my call' button. Operator Pat will connect you through a few proxies
she has strung together, making you anonymous as you surf. Subsequent
links will be automatically serviced by Operator Pat. You will
remain connected to the net via Operator Pat until you specifically
return to this page and close it, or manually adjust the URL shown in
the address bar at the top of your browser.
Operator Pat will strip all identifying variables from the data which
is sent from your computer to the sites you visit. This service also
strips those obnoxious popup windows that places like Geocities use in
many cases, but some may slip through; results with that are
unpredictable. In any event, they will never find out who you are!
Before you begin *serious* surfing:
First try Operator Pat on a site where you have access to the logs.
See how well she does in keeping your identity hidden in cases where
you know what the answers should be. We want YOU to be comfortable and
know that there will be no hassles for yourself. Be sure to read the important
notice below about things that make it difficult for Operator Pat to
protect your privacy. Pick up an anonymous
mailbox at our post office to have handy for use at those snoopy
commercial sites which require you to register or ask all sorts of
questions which are none of their business. Then, enjoy surfing with
Operator Pat.
Note: This can only be used for http, it does not work for java, nor does it work for links that are hard coded
to the root path. You will be warned before entering anything that may make you non-anonymous. It is also recommended
that you shut off javascript while surfing as it may pose a threat to your anonymity with the use of redirectors.
Also note that looping this (ie. sending it thru itself) does nothing but lengthen the url, the script ignores
loops to itself.
