   2. Anonymity Shield – is an IE toolbar for protecting your online anonymity. It conceals your real IP address by routing your traffic through foreign anonymous proxies.
   3. Snipeomatic IE Toolbar – allows you to surf the web freely & provides you with a fake IP address, country of origin etc, thus enabling you to protect your privacy and against hijackers.
      

1. Anonymous Forum Buddy – is the tool you need to be able to post again on any forum you were banned on.
2. Anonymous Friend– is an Internet Explorer toolbar for hiding your IP address and now it is free to use.

Cons
