anonymous
Remaining unknown to the extent that you have not voluntarily identified yourself. On the Internet, computers are always identifiable because of IP addresses, so it's difficult to remain completely anonymous online. For anonymity, the best suggestion is not to give out your personal information online unless you really want to use a particular service or need something that requires you to divulge your personal information. For instance, it is not a good idea to voluntarily post on your personal Web site your home address along with pictures of your kids and where they go to school.
