***SORRY GUYS - IT'S OFFLINE AGAIN***
Got security concerns about the sites you visit or who's secretly
sniffing your trail? We did too and decided to strike back and do
something about it. This being Pacoima Ranch, we now share the wealth
with the Rangers and Rangerettes. The Incognito Proxy service will
mask most of your trail. It makes you look like a Linux box with an
X11 desktop in Fremont, California - no matter where you really are!
Is the masking bulletproof? Nope, no such thing. Certain JS (and
similar) tricks can reveal who you really are, but if you're that
paranoid, just check ALL the boxes on the configurator, turn off Java,
turn off all scripting (JS, JavaScript, VBScript, EcmaScript, etc.).
Only a dedicated, government-level sniffer can then figure out who you
are.

Most of us aren't that paranoid, so just checking the HIDE REFERRER
INFORMATION and REMOVE ALL COOKIES options are sufficient. These two
options are important to use, they confuse DoubleClick (and other
unethical advertisers) and keep most malicious sites from scanning you
for identifying information, yet have little or no visual nor
functional impact on your surfing experience. You can also check the
SHOW URL ENTRYFORM if you'll be switching a lot from links within a
page to handtyped URL's - though this option will add an ugly location
bar at the top of the page.
Here's a link to return to the Pacoima Ranch
Main Menu. You may also just swat this page down when done with
it.
