When surfing on the internet, a log-record of a user's/surfer's Internet Service Provider (ISP) is being made at the web-page's server of every single web-page where a surfer visits.

That means that, when a surfer "hits" a web-page, the server of that web-page receives and logs a record that that web-page had been "hit" by a computer (i.e., the surfer), coming from the (surfer's) ISP.

Generally speaking, here is sort of how the process works.

1. User's computer sends online-request for URL to be retrieved to their browser
   
   
2. The online-request is sent to the user's Internet Service Provider's computers (let's call it, "u-ISP")
   
   
3. The u-ISP assigns an IP-address number to the user so that it can later "know" from whom the online-request had come in order to "know" to whom to send it back when the file is finally retrieved ---an IP address number is a series of numbers and dots, e.g., "111.00.101.0"
   
   
4. The u-ISP then sends out the online-request into the internet, searching for the ("_____.com" webaddress) domain's web Internet Service Provider (let's call it "w-ISP")
   
   
5. The w-ISP then receives the u-ISP's online-request, which (unless it is an anonymous proxy method) includes a record that the online-request had come from the assigned IP address number (which had been assigned to the user by the u-ISP)
   
   
6. The w-ISP then searces its own computer directories to find the specific online-requested file in the rest of the URL-address (that follows the actual domain, "___.com", address). For an example, in
       www.a-domain.com/this/directory/file.htm, can here be understood as
       www.domain/directories-to-exact-file.
   
   
7. The w-ISP, once it finds the exact file being online-requested, records a log for itself that that file was online-requested on that date and time by the u-ISP and the assigned IP address number of the user
   
   
8. Because that is how the w-ISP then "knows" where to send the online-requested file, it then sends the online-requested file through the internet back to the u-ISP
   
   
9. The u-ISP receives the online-requested file and then (from within the incoming "message" from the w-ISP) locates the recorded IP address number as given back to it from the w-ISP
   
   
10. The u-ISP then searches its own online user-list to determine which user on its network had been assigned to that particular IP address number
    
    
11. The u-ISP sends the online-requested file through the internet back to the user (who had been assigned to that particular IP address number) who had made the online-request for that file
    
    
12. The online-requested file is downloaded into the user's computer and the browser displays the file

Of course, that seems like quite a lot is happening, and indeed much IS going on!

But because it all happens so quickly, most users are not aware of how their IP address is being logged at every page they "hit" (i.e., "online-request").

To avoid providing such information to a web-page's server (w-ISP in the above listing) to be able to log the record of the surfer's actual ISP (u-ISP) and their assigned IP address number, a surfer can instead use a "Proxy server" as a "go-between" between the surfer's ISP and the web-page. (But NOTE: some Proxies still give out the info, so one has to make sure they are using an anonymous proxy.)

One easy and anonymous method is to use the ANONYMIZER. Once, a user knows how it works, they can simply type the ANONYMIZER's specific anonymizing URL in front of any web-address typed into the browser address bar, and they will be anonymously surfing.

However, it is important to note that the ANONYMIZER "disables" all Javascript and other such things. Also, the free-version of ANONYMIZER does have a few second-delay.
