## How it works
LurkViewer acts as an intermediary between the user's browser and the
public Instagram web. When a user requests a profile, LurkViewer's
servers retrieve the publicly available page on the user's behalf and
return the content. Instagram does not receive the user's IP address
or any direct link to a personal Instagram account.
