If you are using publicly available network and your connected through wifi. It’s better that you have
security. You can have private browsing by just simple steps:

• Connect to your public WIFI
• Once established(i guess). You might want to pull out your trusty old Terminal app
• If you have a server that you can connect using SSH you can proceed. If not… Stop reading this…

• Enter the following command:

  ssh -D {port to use locally} {user}@{server}

• Once connected your ready to setup your SOCKS Proxy

• Go to System Preferences
• Go to Network
• Select Airport
• Select Advanced Option
• Select Proxies
• Select on SOCK Proxy
• Enter SOCKS Proxy Server: localhost
• Enter PORT: {port to use locally}
• Apply settings

You should be able to be connected. If you want to check. You can go to your browser
and enter the following address: http://www.whatsmyip.org/

You should be able to see that your IP is the {server} IP.

That should do the trick.
