Such proxies are commonly used in the office and schools, to pass-by potential firewalls and monitoring services in place. Students will often utilize anonymous proxies to access social networking websites, like MySpace, Youtube, Friendster, Hi5 deemed and blocked by the school as harming the productivity of the students. Employees of a company may try to circumvent forms of monitoring within a company that may try to track or control which websites its employees are visiting.

Anonymous proxies serve as a wall between the user and the service being accessed. These servers can be used to bypass the restrictions and access these services possibly blocked by the country or some other organization providing the Internet connection, while others may use it solely for the privacy that is possibly guaranteed.

Risks Behind Anonymous Proxies
Because of how anonymous proxies, especially those running on web pages, are designed, all data sent to the proxy servers are unencrypted. Therefore, it is possible that confidential information such as logins and passwords can be recorded by a malicious proxy server. Also, through proxy chaining, some clients could potentially fall as victims to a web page displaying a false security measures, allowing all proxies within these chains to trace the user activities.

A proxy list is a list of all the working proxy sites. A proxy site is a site which lets you surf anonymously and it allows you to access the sites which have been blocked by a content filter.

How does this work

A proxy site allows you to enter the URL of the site which you wish to surf and once you’ve entered the URL, the proxy site displays the target site in a special window. In this way, your real IP address, location are not revealed to the website and you can access it even if it is blocked by the Network-administrator. You can interact with the site in real-time just like the way you would have interacted with it if it was not blocked on your network.

The only known problem associated with the proxy sites is that they’ve a small life as other sites block the proxy sites to avoid anonymous surfing. So, it’s important to maintain a regularly updated proxy list in order to get the information about the working proxy websites. Most proxy list sites do have a list with recently added proxies. Some proxy list sites do even have proxy listed that support SSL (secure socket layer).
