Web-based Proxies

I know what you're thinking, ‘these proxies sound good, but I’ll bet they're expensive, take ages to download and they're bound to be complicated to run…’ but they're not at all! There are a multitude of web-based proxies to choose from and this article will outline of some of the advantages of using such a proxy, and shall also provide a list of some web-based proxies below.

But first, I will run through the benefits of the web-based proxy using www.proxify.com as an example.

Benefits of Web Based Proxies
Proxify is a (free) web-based proxy server that allows you to surf the Internet anonymously. It is a web-based proxy server, so it has the added advantage of being set-up and ready to go. You don't have to download or install extra-programs to be able to use it. The service is free, but you can, however, sign up to be a registered customer for $40. The benefits of this extra service are outlined on their registration page.

As Proxify is an anonymous proxy it allows you to browse without being tracked and you can connect to non-secure website without any of the associated security issues; please see our article Why Use Proxies? for more details. Proxify can also be used as an effective web-filter, allowing you to surf pop-up ad and banner free.

Proxify's Privacy Policy runs though security and privacy issues relating to the service they provide.
