So you’re trying to surf a site like myspace, hotmail or yahoo mail from work
or school and its blocked by your school, work or government. Or maybe you want
to go on a site without anyone knowing what your doing. The simplest way to do
it is by using a web proxy. A proxy is another computer that is like a mask your
computer puts on when it connects to the Internet. It’s also a private gateway
to blocked sites because the site you are actually surfing is hidden behind the
proxy, which is unblocked. For example, if you go to a web proxy in London and
surf the Web, every other computer in the world thinks you are from London!
There are plenty of free web proxy sites that you can use. The problem is
that many of the popular ones also get blocked by people at your school, company
or government. However, once you find one that is not blocked, all you do is go
to the proxy site, enter the URL you want to browse and click go! Its that easy.
You can then click on any links in the page you are browsing and you’re still
anonymous to the outside world. Just remember that if you go to a proxy and its
blocked or no longer works, its no big deal, there are thousands of them. Just
try another one and eventually you will find a web proxy that lets you browse
freely and privately. Part 2 of this article will show where to find more
unblocked working proxies that you will ever need!
