Why Use a Web Proxy?

A web proxy grants you access to pages that were previously blocked by your ISP or a system admin. Now you can bypass filters and firewalls at home, work or school quickly and with ease.

Most sites track, log, and analyze your IP address, geographical information, web browser, and other personal information. A proxy site makes your browsing experience totally anonymous by hiding important data from web servers.

Web proxies require absolutely no extra software or programs to be installed. All you need is a web browser such as IE or Firefox. You also don't have to mess with a long list of proxy IPs to connect to, like traditional proxy software. Using a proxy service practically eliminates the risk of being infected with trojans, viruses, worms, and other malicious scripts by putting an anonymous filter between you and the web site you want to visit.
