Is there really a free fast web proxy server out there or not?

[Donna Richoux]

Is there really (I mean really) a free fast proxy server out there or not?

When I read up on 'theoretical' proxy servers at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server
and
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Hosted_Proxy_Services/Free/CGI_Proxy/

I find lots of good supposed freeware such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privoxy and others.

But, as I go to each and every one of the proxy freeware, I find they are
way too SLOW unless you PAY (compared to dsl speeds without the proxy
server). I'm not expecting the same speed but it has to be reasonable which
it isn't on the three or four I tried.

So, should I just give up on a free fast freeware web proxy server.
Or does a fast (reasonably) freeware web proxy server actually exist that
isn't just trying to lure you into their pay site which actually has the
goods?

Does a freeware fast web proxy server actually exist or not?
