Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are a self–configuring and autonomous ad-hoc network which uses routing protocols which provides anonymity to the route through which the traffic flows, the data initiator and data receiver are hidden in order to provide conservation from the adversaries which tries to track down the route or the crucial information’s present in the network. There are plenty of routing protocols that provide anonymity but they depend on hop-by-hop encryptions or redundant traffic which ultimately leads to high price and they are not completely satisfying in contributing complete anonymity. In order to provide complete anonymity in a low price, an Advanced Location-based Efficient Routing in MANET (ALER) is proposed. It aims mainly in providing anonymity to the route, data sender and the data receiver. The network field is divided into several zones with the help of hierarchical partitioning and it is partition in a dynamical manner. Then nodes are selected randomly from the zones created from the hierarchical partition and as the nodes are arbitrarily choose to generate a non-traceable anonymous route. The proposed protocol also helps in hiding the sender and the destination also very efficiently. It also has strategies to effectively counter intersection, timing attacks. In this routing technique it has tried to overcome the Sybil attack issues which were not solved by the previous routing protocols.
