"Proxies
•Many proxy servers and proxy websites may still actually show your real IP address even though they claim not to. It is a big risk to assume that your IP address is being hidden from whatever website you are currently browsing. Proxy servers very rarely if ever actually offer full anonymity to their users. "
oh AND not only do proxies not completely hide your "identity" (which you don't really have one obviously if you need to hide viewing someone's blog), they also do not have any kind of security from viruses or provide security of any private information on your computer. i'm sure employers and owners of networks will appreciate your consideration in the security of their shit.
