Private Newsgroup Reading HOWTO

HOWTO: Anonymous Newsgroup Reading using the Tunneler

Overview

You can easily get an anonymous webmail account by using the Tunneler to subscribe and use such services. Using the Tunneler protects your IP address from being recorded. As many Webmail providers record your IP address, and even insert it along with all outgoing messages into the message headers, the Tunneler provides an extra layer of anonymity between you and your webmail service provider.
