thread_title:  Expansion 

message: Anonymizer is an internationally registered trademark of Anonymizer Inc.
It should not be used in this generic sense any more than "Xerox" should be generic for "photocopy".
Good luck with that. But out of curiosity, what would be your suggested alternative?

replies: text: Actually, I think that the Anonymizer people like the fact that this article bears its name. I would propose to rename it to "Internet anonymity". There are several privacy and anonymity articles that touch on the subject. I believe that the information here, plus recent developments would make a very nice article. There should also be articles that list anonymity networks, systems and applications. 90.136.218.67 (talk) 18:35, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trademark 

message: The "Purpose" section seems riddled with weasel words and unattributed, odd declarations.  "Some may view".. "illegal government snooping"?  I don't even know what to call that last phrase.  Oh that government, spying on people.  Illegally.  What?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.70.188.26 (talk) 18:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Um... actually, the govenment can't do whatever it wants. Remember the wiretapping scandals? To "spy" on people, the government has to get a warrant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.65.48 (talk) 20:50, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Purpose 

message: I'm really not a huge fan of the tone in this article, it seems quite negative and almost critical of anonymizing web proxies and doesn't describe any of the benefits or positive uses of them, such as protecting one's basic human right to privacy. Just because someone is using a proxy doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong. The tone of this article seems to assume otherwise. 24.167.36.53 (talk) 04:58, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Tone?

message: The POV tag was added today.  It says, "Please see the discussion on the talk page," but I can't find anything on the talk page about POV, except for the "Tone?" section added December 2009.  Did I miss something?
About a week ago, I removed an unsupported statement that seemed to have a religious bias.  Other than that, I can't see anything that seems non-NPOV.
I did not write this article, but would like to help improve it.  You can help too.  How can we improve the article?
Thanks. Wikfr (talk) 21:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Anonymizer →  – Anonymizer is a brand name(WP:NPOVTITLE), there are a number of different "anonymizer" products available for entirely unrelated purposes (e.g. photo anonymizer): first page of a google search showed only 3 relevant to this article, 4 unrelated products, 2 wiki pages (this one and company one), one link to the anonymizer company. All results for the first page of google for "anonymous proxy" were relevant to this article (WP:COMMONNAME). If someone mentioned an anonymizer to me I would have to ask them to clarify, if they were to mention an anonymous proxy I would know exactly what it meant (WP:PRECISE). From my POV this is clear cut, I'm putting it in the talk page as it has been mentioned before so wanted to check no one has a good reason to oppose. Editor/123 21:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 24 January 2021 

message: Article includes "Examples of anonymizer websites include Anonymouse, Anonymiz.com, Anonymize, Anonymizer, IDZap, Ultimate Anonymity, The Cloak and GhostSurf Platinum." Most of those seem to be defunct (got domain names from the Google Book reference), and wondering if they should be cut from the list of examples. And maybe add domain names to the 2 anonymizers that still work (assuming those 2 work for those who get a username):
* http://anonymouse.org/ : website online, but no free anonymizer. Tried to use to visit Amazon.com (http and https) and both times got error "Only the VIP-Version of Anonymouse supports encrypted connections!"
* Anonymiz.com : website online, but their anonymizer seems to be gone.
* Anonymize.net is now a "for sale" page. (cybersquatted?)
* Anonymizer.com now forwards to ntrepidcorp.com (and I don't see an anonymizer there)
* IDZap.com : domain still registered (expires 2030), but website seems to be down.
* Ultimate-Anonymity.com : website online, they seem to have replaced their anonymizer with a VPN.
* http://www.the-cloak.com : website online, anonymizer is proxify.com which is "Free for 3 days then $30..." (and trying to use anonymizer sends you to proxify page asking for a proxify username and password)
* GhostSurf Platinum (tenebril.com/consumer) i don't trust the javascripts, but archive.org Wayback says "Osta tämä verkko-osoite" (translates to "Buy this web address") --EarthFurst (talk) 09:41, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
