information. [TOP]

What is a proxy server?
A proxy server is a kind of buffer between your computer and the
Internet resources you're accessing. The data you request come to
the proxy first, and only then it transmits the data to you.
A
proxy server receives a request for an Internet service (such as a
Web page request) from a user. If it passes filtering requirements,
the proxy server, assuming it is also a cache server, looks in its
local cache of previously downloaded Web pages. If it finds the
page, it returns it to the user without needing to forward the
request to the Internet. If the page is not in the cache, the proxy
server, acting as a client on behalf of the user, uses one of its
own IP addresses to request the page from the server out on the
Internet. When the page is returned, the proxy server relates it to
the original request and forwards it on to the user.
To the user, the proxy server is invisible; all Internet requests
and returned responses appear to be directly communicated with the
addressed Internet server. (The proxy is not quite invisible; its IP
address has to be specified as a configuration option to the browser
or other protocol program.) [TOP]
Why do I need to
use proxy servers?
Transfer speed improvement: Proxy servers accumulate and save files
that are most often requested by thousands of Internet users in a
special database, called “cache”. Therefore, proxy servers are able
to increase the speed of your connection to the Internet. The cache
of a proxy server may already contain information you need by the
time of your request, making it possible for the proxy to deliver it
immediately.
Security and privacy: Anonymous proxy servers hide your IP
address, thereby saving you from vulnerabilities concerned with it.
Sometimes you may encounter problems while accessing a web server
when server administrators restrict access from your IP or even from
a wide IP range (for example restricting access from certain
countries or geographical regions). So you try to access those pages
using an anonymous proxy server. [TOP]
What is a public proxy
server?
It is a proxy server which is free and open for everybody on the
Internet. [TOP]
What is a Free Proxy
Checker
It is a free service trying to provide daily updated list of public
HTTP proxy servers. It usually provides a small list of proxies with
low percent of functioning servers due to hosting restrictions on
CPU. With GetAnonymous you get your embedded proxy checker and an
updated proxy list every minute. [TOP]
Why should I
be concerned about my privacy?
Information, such as IP address, and ISP, collected by a certain
website can be used to cause potential security risks. Anybody can
use your IP address to cause malicious harm to your computer; it can
be used for leakage of personal information, such as your address,
and name. All in all, the internet is the most insecure place out
there, so take precautions. [TOP]
What's the
best way to make myself 100% secure online?
Surfing through GetAnonymous gives you shielding of your IP through
the GetAnonymous proxy server, plus connecting through several other
proxy servers to build a proxy server chain. Also you will get more
features like protecting your computer from Harmful cookies –Pop-up
ads….Etc. [TOP]
Why is this going so slow?
The web page you request may go slow if it's a big page and heavy in
graphics. Also if the proxy servers you’re using are loaded, the web
page will be downloading slower than usual. However, if you’re using
GetAnonymous you will hardly feel this because GetAnonymous allows
you to update your proxy list at any time ensuring you always get a
fresh list of fully-functional proxy servers. [TOP]
