Nowadays many people on various forums complain,Are You Sure, You Need Free Pfoxy? Articles that their favorite web-sites are blocked either at work, at school or even in the whole country. Some people, for example, from China, may have a wish to watch video-news at British BBC. They can't, since these videos are available only if they are physically in Great Britain. All these people are looking for proxy. Most of them, of course, prefer free proxy. Proxy is believed to provide not only access to something blocked, but also some kind of anonymity. When you serf through proxy server, your IP is replaced by proxy-IP (note, that it doesn't concern transparent proxy). But if you have tried free public proxy at least for one time, you definitely know how slow they are. This is because they are used by hundreds or even thousands people. Using web-proxies, you have to see bulk of ads. Sometimes you even click on them, while waiting for a connection, and spend your precious time in vain. Moreover, free proxies have a tendency to have a quite short life. This is due to the way they are created. For example, lots of http proxies (proxy server, that you can reach through ip-address) are created by mistake of system administrator and then found by robots and included in lists. When the administrator discover this, he correct the mistake - and there is no more proxy on this address. Another way of proxy beginnings is it's creation by hackers. While you use this kind of proxy, they stole your information, getting access to your computer. This kind of proxy are compensated from stolen credit carts, so they shut down, when it becomes discovered. The most important thing you need to know if you want to use free proxy is the danger to your security. When hackers set up an open proxy, it is called a 'Hacker Pot'. It comes from a similar term a 'Honey Pot' (a server, set up by government agencies or security professionals, to entrap people who are looking for free proxies, as far as they can be hackers). Such machines are used to track down hackers. However, even if all you want to do is unblock your favorite social network, you have reason to be concerned. Because unauthorized access to this machine is already a federal felony. They don't have to announce to you that this machine is a government computer. It's your responsibility to know where you are connecting to. So where is the right decision? If you still need proxy for legal purposes - the only secure way is to use elite premium proxies. Using this kind of proxy servers you can be sure, that you will have stable connection and speed, as far as they are used by only a few people, who have login and password. If you use socks5 proxy, you can not only surf the net, but also use lots of programs, that require internet connection (at least with the help of special programs like Freecap). And, of course, hide your real IP to get the highest level of anonymity. Premium servers have no reasons to stole your information as far as you pay them. This money are not so big, comparing to your stolen identity or problems with law.
