You can't with LnS. If you feel you need to filter some of this information you would need to a proxy filter like Proxomitron. One of several good resources for Proxo: http://www.jd5000.net/proxo/

You can try the "JAP" proxy:

It is an external proxy, and it is supposted to be created by German scientists. The proxy encrypts and mixes your traffic with the other users. So, theoretically no one (even not the people at JAP) can reconstruct your web traffic.

However,
1) The German legislation is fighting the service. Sooner or later they will shut this down (The "war on terror" argumentation)
2.) I do not trust these external proxies/anonymizers at all! If I would be the FBI, than I would create such a service...
