This application offers a virtual online disguise, although it doesn't always follow through as promised. Anonymous Forum Buddy creates an additional toolbar on Internet Explorer with your current IP address and a lengthy dropdown list of proxies and their host countries among its options. Simply choose a proxy and click the icon to enable it, and Anonymous Forum Buddy will test for its availability. We had to test several proxies before finally connecting to a usable one, only to find that a problem with the host connection prevented us from surfing. Although we were able to eventually connect with a fake proxy, the move significantly slowed our browsing speed and hampered our connectivity. With only 50 opportunities to launch your browser with this toolbar in effect, users will quickly find that another option for IP anonymity is the best option.

Is NOT $19.95, it is $5.95 per month. Does NOT work.

Pros
None that I know of.
Cons
I tried the free trial. My IP was still clearly visible. The software does NOT cost $19.95, it costs $5.95 a month for their service! And they will try to sell you an upgrade that costs even more. Beware.

It's work for me

Pros
None.
Cons
The other reviews must have been written by people representing the company. The software often causes IE 7 to shut down unexpectedly. After many attempts, I finally found an IP that "worked." But, then I went to an IP detection website just to test out if this software really masked my own address. It did not, the site showed my local address, not the 'anonymous' IP address i had chosen.

invisible online

Pros
Spending lots of time web surfing, I realize I needed a anonymity solution, not very expensive or complicated, just to help me stay invisible online. Anonymous Forum Buddy installed ok, runs nice, has a long trial use and what is more important, it hides my real identity. You should give it a try
Cons
Summary
simple anonymity tool

Pros
I am a freak of anonymity tools cos I donÃ¢Â€Â™t want aeverybody to see what pages I am visiting . Anonymous Forum Buddy hides my identity and also allows me to interact with the webpage I am visiting: post messages, use free trials, etc
Cons

Pros
I have come across this toolbar and I really like it. it masks my IP allowing me to do all kind of surfing without caring that someone may track me or my surfing habits. I also can post lots of messages on forums and what is more, play online annoying my enemies :)
