How do I view tumblr blogs privately and discretely without my location showing up on their trackers? - Emily - 04-08-2014 09:39 PM
It just makes me very uncomfortable to view public tumblr blogs when everyone has a location tracker installed to see where their viewers are from. I like to keep my personal information private online even if it's as simple as basic location. Therefor I'd like to know a way to view without my location showing up? Thanks

Locations are tracked through IP address, so in order to not be tracked you need to use a proxy service to change your IP address. There are many free proxy services, but some aren't very safe. As the saying goes....you get what you pay for.
A free proxy is open to everyone, but a reputable service is closed only to their members and everything you do over that server is encrypted. Just remember to delete your cookies so you can't be tracked by your past activities.
