What's the best and safest free anonymous proxy server?

Question

Are free proxy servers safe? How do you know they aren't download spyware or viruses to your computer when you download them? Can anybody reccommend a good one? I tried using something called charon but it didn't work.

Answer 1

A true anonymous proxy server isn't downloaded. If you run a proxy on your computer, your IP address will still be made available to the web servers that you connect to. A proxy that you install may block cookies, ads, and mask the type of browser that you use, but that's it.



Since true anonymous proxies run on a remote computer, and all of your data goes through the remote computer, unless you're using end-to-end encryption like SSL, the anonymous proxy has access to any data that you send through it.

Answer 4

Since this is still actively viewed. A proxy server should not ask you to download anything as mentioned. Stay away from any proxy server that is full of ads, especially popups and pop-unders. The site should not ask you to open or install anything. it should be as simple as typing in the web address you want to access and it will take you there.



A good clean fast web proxy is http://googlewarriors.com who is sponsored by IoFlare.com a reputable hosting company. There are no ads and it is compaticle with all the social sites and YouTube.

I have personally tried many popular proxy services but while some were expansive, others were just providing poor service with slow proxies..



In my experience i can surely recommend this service: http://bit.ly/BestProxyService



I found this was the best in terms of price and reliability, proxies are fast which for me is a must.

Best advice i could give you is to try using the 1 week free trial they provide and if you don't like the service just unsuscribe.



No risk on your end and you have a full week to test them.



Hope this helps, good luck finding your way! :)

Charon is program for analyzing proxy servers. With Charon you will need to import list of free available proxy and then analyze of their works.

You will then get result with validity, speed etc...

See Charon proxy tools tutorial:

Disadvantage with open proxy servers is that they are unstable.

Almost similar thing is with JAP and TOR. They are both free programs that you need to install on your pc and both works great but because of many people use it they are both slow.



Depend on what you want you need to make decision.

If you want free then you can use simple open proxy servers, or free programs JAP, TOR or web based proxies (php or cgi).



If you have a little money then i will recommend you GhostSurf or Anonymizer.





Good luck!

I was using HMA (Hide My ***) for a couple of months which was great in the sense that there are hundreds of server locations to choose from however generally all of them seem to be really slow and sluggish, I guess due to being overstacked as they are one of the bigger companies. Try to find a smaller one if you want fast connection times and they wont have overstacked server. I guess its abit like not using GoDaddy for hosting, they have the same problem, big equals slow. I have an Anglo VPN account now and seems to respond pretty quickly, my torrent speed only dips slightly when connected to UK or European servers.
