I have often wondered if you are truly safe on a public computer.  I am thinking of those computers that you find on campuses, Internet cafés, and libraries.  Quite often I see people checking their bank balances, paying bills, and visiting other sensitive sites.

But is that information safe?

Well, I have to wonder.  I mean, if I really wanted to find out what the last person did on a public computer I am sure I could.  It would be as simple as finding the browser history and taking a look (chances are they didn’t delete it anyway).

But how can you protect yourself?

Well, you can use a free proxy server to ensure that your sensitive information is never on the public computer that you are using.  The information is only stored on the free proxy site temporarily and then is deleted when you are done.

So next time you are using a public computer, be sure to protect your sensitive information by using a free online proxy server - you will be happy that you did.
