Use free wifi hotspots?
I don't do illegal things, I have nothing to hide... yet it kind of irks me that someone on the other side of the world can pull up a satellite image of my backyard just because I visited a site that captured my IP address. (literally they can. I have done it with IP addresses of other people. It is entirely possible). Consequently I have been doing research, off and on, for about a year as to how one protects their privacy on the internet.
I came across this program just today, that uses public proxy servers to place several roadblocks between a computer and inquisitive web masters, hackers, or the government of any nation who wants to keep track of me. Does anyone have any experience with this program (or any other for that matter)?

This is not an advert. If anyone knows of a better program, or a different way of preserving some form of anonymity on the net, then please let me know where I can learn more.
As always, thanks for any information in advance.
