Easiest way I can see is to use a *nix and never use your real name 
,address,etc,as far as privacy goes.At least if it's not with known 
party(ies) on the other end.
Also  *nix has some nice proxies you can use,especially if you're 
running a home network....ie: One box for proxy/firewall/router,the 
others to surf thru.I believe there are some proxies for windows that 
can be used the same way.

By the way,are you on dial-up,*dsl,cable or what are your prerequisites 
for speed.

Don't know if this is much help,but I believe setting up your own proxy 
server is more secure.As long as you configure it right.

There are plenty of resources out there.Just google on proxy.

Good luck & regards,monique
