    Is there anything I can do to keep a web page from logging my hits or refreshes? I've tried peerguardian, browzar (I think it's called), and loading from http://anonym.com/?...

    Thanks :D

    You don't want the server/site to log your IP for visiting it? If that's your goal, you can always use a proxy.

    1: Only way you can stop a webserver from logging visitors is by hacking the site and deleting the log files. (It's quite hard to talk to someone without them noticing. Works the same way for webservers)

    2: You can make it harder to track you based on the log information. Going through a proxy (or similar) would mean the proxy's IP, rather than yours, gets logged. But that's about all you can do.

    Any fast, free proxys out there? I'm really not looking to hack anything, it's not that sorta privacy I'm going for! :D
