Step1
Find an Internet proxy server. For a huge list of free proxies, see the link to proxy.org in the Resources section below. You can click on any of these listings and instantly be taken to a proxy server.
Step2
Find a proxy server with an Internet address field. Some proxy servers require you to make some changes to your browser or download something. But ones where you can type in an Internet address are easiest to use.
Step3
Type in a URL and click “Go.”
Step4
Surf the Internet anonymously. Once you type in an Internet address, the proxy server will create a new address bar for you to use. You can now surf through an anonymous proxy.
Step5
Use the mini-URL form to continue surfing anonymously. If you want to navigate to a different site, use the built-in address bar from the proxy server.
Tips & Warnings
Internet proxy servers are a dime-a-dozen. If one seems buggy or is too hard to use, go back to the list and choose a different one.
Make your favorite proxy service your homepage or bookmark it so that you can begin surfing anonymously each time.
Some Web sites will not function properly if you are behind a proxy.
