About this Add-on

AnonymoX is an initiative for anonymization in the internet. The aim is to restore the users right of anonymity in the web. Most websites monitor the behaviour of their users, giving the websites hosts the ability to analyze the general users behaviour and create detailed user profiles, which often times are sold to third parties.
A thread for the freedom of speech of the internet manifests in the repression through federal or private organizations. More and more governments zensor websites with the excuse of child safety, copyright infringement or the fight against terrorism and thereby limit the freedom of speech.
Also blocking users by based on their origin with GeoIP-Blocks is applied often, for example at Media platforms like YouTube.

With anonymoX your are able to bypass many sorts of blocks by jelling a virtual Identity in another Country with only a few mouse clicks.

anonymoX enables you to...

- browse the www anonymously
- change your IP-Adresse (to one provided by us)
- visit blocked/censored websites
- appear to originate from another country
- delete cookies, show your public ip, change browser id, ....
- visit websites via Tor. Also access hidden sites (.onion)

Short summary of it's functionality

Instead of accessing a website directly, it'll be first opened by one of our servers, called Proxy.
This Proxy hides your true internet identiy and makes it look as if not you, but the Proxy is currently visiting the website.

anonymoX is cost-free in its basic version, which is made possible by including some ads. But we provide a chargeable Premium version allowing extended use of our anonymization network.

Please note our Guidline for proper use, if correct functionality and anonymity is very important to you.

interesting...
If a site did not want you to use a fake IP, they could download this add-on, take note of all the IP's it uses and block them all.
Making this add-on useless.

Slows my web browsing down to a crawl.

I notice a slowdown when I re-maximize FF,but then it seems just as fast.

Only trying it with a couple of profiles.

If you just want to play the videos on the US sites use Media Hint.

Anonymizer would be useful for other reasons but for that you have to get the Premium Version.
