Follow the simple tutorial to enter this macro. Please note this code has only been tested for FireFox.

Using your mouse, highlight the URL you want to open and right click then copy. This will place the URL in the clipboard. Now run the macro and a new tab will open and you will be sent to the new page anonymously.

SET !VAR1 anonym.to/{{!CLIPBOARD}}
URL GOTO={{!VAR1}}
This iMacros looks like a powerfull tool, however is it possible that your are asking too much of it? As stated elsewhere at this forum there is no such thing as truly anonymous internet connections.

In the example above, the browser request is redirected through anonym.to, as far as I can tell.
I went to the anonym.to site and found this quote:

"Anonym.to only disguises what page a visitor comes from. Surfers who don't want their IP address to appear in any logfile should have a look at the instructions for TOR."

Thus if you enter
http://anonym.to/?http://torcheck.xenobite.eu/
in your browser address bar, it will show you what IP address you have. Your referer field should be blocked, though.

Usually your browser records referers and sends them. The next visited site is able to track from which previous site you were coming from.
That means that if you are at the vintage-erotica-forum (VEF) and click on an image hosted at imagevenue.com, the guys at imagevenue cannot see what site you came from. They can however see your IP.

Surfers who don't want their IP address to appear in any logfile should have a look at the TOR project http://www.torproject.org/.

There is an addon that handles referer for you, called RefControl
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/953
It lets you control what gets sent as the HTTP Referer on a per-site basis.

Just a heads up call,
/trm
