 | Frequently Asked Questions |
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about free proxies and proxy lists.
- Can I use a proxy to access sites such as facebook, hi5 and myspace?
Yes you can! Most workspaces ban or block social networking sites such as myspace and facebook. Using these proxies you can usually access these sites.
However as these are web-page based proxies, not all of the site's functionality will work. For instance chat may be broken.
- Where can I find the best proxies?
A search in google for "free proxy lists" will give you millions of sites with lists of free proxies. Most of these sites are paid sites so proxy owners have to pay up to get their sites listed. This is usually the only criterion for most of these sites. They don't care if the proxy works or not.
You will have to try out a few proxies before you find one you are comfortable with.
- What are the different varieties of proxies avalilable?
Once you start searching for proxies, will see names such as PHPProxy, Glype etc repeated over and over again. You will also notice that a lot of different sites have proxies that look exactly like each other. This is because all these sites are using the one script. All of these proxies perform similarly and are based on the same set of rules.
- What about Security and Anonymity?
Please refer to the section Securtiy and Anonymity
- How can I make Money using Proxies?
The answer is simple. You can spend money and buy a proxy script or download a script from somewhere, then you have to host it on a reasonably fast server,
put some adds (such as google's adsense) on your startup page and start publisizing the page.
