Free Proxy Anonymous Surfing

[Zareen Zapata]

About3.8 billion people are online every day. From sharing content to collecting data for organizational purposes, there are about 2.5 quintillion bytes of data being processed by Google every day. Not all data is available to all people around the world. For example, a show on Netflix in one country may not be available in another country. This is due to restrictions and copyrights imposed by the government of the respective country. Web proxy is the easiest way to access all restricted content without having to install any kind of software.

A web proxy allows you to browse the web anonymously and unblock your favorite websites without installing software, like a VPN. Our web proxy is free and supports the most popular websites, such as YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and adult entertainment websites. All your traffic is encrypted while browsing to make sure you stay anonymous.

A Web Proxy has its own IP address, which acts as the intermediary between the user and the internet. Once the user requests information online, the request is routed via a web proxy, the web proxy retrieves the information from the targeted website, then sends it to the user. This way the user's local IP address is masked.

For an average user, a web proxy helps to access the restricted content behind geoblocking in websites and streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. This is carried out without compromising the internet connectivity speed. With Proxyium, you can surf restricted websites without annoying ads and other constraints. Simply paste the URL or type the website name and you will be directed to the website home page. It's that quick and simple.

The second aspect of the need for web proxy is to improve network performance. For example, let us say that you visited an XYZ website in the morning. The web proxy saves the data from the webpage temporarily, so when you visit it again in early noon, it actually serves you a copy of the webpage and reduces the latency.

Web proxy servers and VPNs both act as an intermediary between the user and a website. Web proxies and VPNs both receive a request from the user, get a response from the targeted websites, and route it to the user again. The main differences between proxy servers and VPNs are how they work and which protocols they support, which affects their privacy and security capabilities.

VPNs are typically configured at a system level, allowing all traffic to pass through them, i.e., web browsing, music streaming, file sharing, or gaming. Many VPN software solutions allow users to exclude selected apps from operating through the VPN, but the default settings usually direct all traffic through them.

On the other hand, a web proxy can be accessed directly from the browser and does not require software installation. However, the disadvantage is that a web proxy can only open websites and can not mask your IP address for other applications on your device. A web proxy is ideal if you quickly need to visit a blocked website without downloading any type of software.

No, a web proxy uses cache memory, which stores the data temporarily about the webpage you visited. If you want to visit that webpage again, the web proxy provides you with a copy of the webpage, which reduces the latency.

If you are a person who does not want to install dedicated software on your computer for simple web surfing, a web proxy is the best solution for you. Our web proxy provides you the best access to all the restricted sites without compromising on qualities like internet speed and connectivity.

Is Tor (The Onion Router) network something for you? With Tor, you are anonymous for everybody in the network, but it requires to install software on a PC. There some warnings in the FAQ page about the usage of Tor.

I use the FoxyProxy add-on which does a great job of switching proxy servers for me. They have an additional, subscription-based proxy service, which I've never used, but seems reasonably cheap ($20 for 3 months).

We are living in 2020, and both users and internet applications can take the benefit of cybersecurity. One of the best ways to be secure while browsing the Internet is by using proxy servers. The proxy server is an important thing to know about nowadays. Let's see what makes proxy servers an essential aspect of cybersecurity support.

Thanks to traking cookies, browser fingerprinting and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) selling our browsing logs to advertisers, online anonymity is out like COVID 19 virus, everybody knows about it, but few are doing something about it. While your next-door-neighbour might not know where to find you online, but there is at least one large corporation (you know whom I am indicating G..... ?), which has a series of 0's and 1's stored in their database

There are few ways to stop this, like using a corporate firewall, using Tor, or maybe a VPN. But in this blog, we'll see a free and effective way to stay secure online.

What's a proxy server, anyway?

By using a proxy to browse the Internet all of the user's Internet traffic appears to come from the proxy server instead of their machine. To set up a free high-speed proxy server all you need is a free tier AWS account.

Step 4: Click on continue and keep default configuration until you reach the Security Group configuration. Create a new security group, add a security group name and a small description. Then add a new rule, set Type to Custom TCP, and set Port Range to 8888. In source, choose My IP from the dropdown. Click on Review and launch.

This will get you all the dependency needed. We will use TinyProxy to setup our Ubuntu Server as the Proxy. By default, TinyProxy operates on Port 8888. Now we need to modify the configuration file of TinyProxy to allow the only IP address of your machines.

In the firefox browser goto preferences from right top corner options, and search for Proxy. Choose manual proxy configuration, and in HTTP proxy add your AWS EC2 public IP(you can get the public IP from AWS EC2 dashboard), in Port add 8888. Make sure to check the Also use this Proxy for FTP and HTTPS checkbox. Click, OK, and you are good to go.

To verify go to Google, and search what is my IP. You will see your AWS EC2 IP, that means all your data is routed via AWS servers.

This means there is no more restriction on which site you can access. All sites are unlocked for you?. Enjoy!

And your browser is still going to continue fingerprinting and websites will continue to use tracking cookies though a VPN. So all it is really doing is stopping your ISP from monetizing your traffic, which you get with a DNS over HTTPS provider without needing to spend money in the cloud, and is default in Firefox and I think just turned on in chrome as well.

Well, HTTPS traffic is still encrypted so your ISP won't see what traffic you mean to send, just that you are communicating with your VPN server in AWS because that is the only DNS traffic it see. So you're fine there, but again DNS over https is an easier and cheaper way to accomplish that.

Your ISP won't be able to see the traffic, but they will know what sites you are visiting since those requests go across in plaintext. Here's an example line from Squid log when used as a proxy server:

Just a note. All of AWS IP ranges are publicly available, and can be blacklisted for sites you go to. This is a fun project to try, but recommend better surfing habits (https only/duckduckgo)or using a local virtualized machine with A public DNS entry in resolv.conf. You do pay for bandwidth usage on AWS.

A proxy server is used when a user needs to access network resources, such as the Internet. A user connects through a proxy server instead of directly connecting to the web hiding the true identity.

Some proxy types (transparent proxies) allow websites to see the real IP address associated with each host request, non-transparent proxies (anonymous) do not show the original IP address of a web server's visitor but reveal that a user uses a proxy to reach the web source.
