Proximize

Finding a web based proxy server online is simple.  Just search for the phrase and within seconds you'll find a site offering a web based proxy.  The problem?  They are limited in what they can do, they may even reveal your IP online and they are usually as slow as if not slower than dial up modems.

Web based proxies might be free, but the disadvantages of them far outweigh this single benefit.  The first problem with web based proxies is that the software used to create them is limited in what content you can view online.  What does this mean?  Many features such as javascript and cookies are disabled.  Some websites require that you have these enabled in order to view the content they have online.  With these simple features disabled, you are limited in what websites you can even browse while using a web based proxy.

Beyond being limited in what they can do, web based proxies aren't secure.  While they might allow you to change your IP or hide your identity online, they can be detected as proxies.  This means that the IP you use while browsing with a web based proxy is shown as a proxy IP.  Web masters typically ban and block IPs that are detected as coming from proxy servers.  Again, this leads to web proxies typically being unable to access many websites as their IPs are banned as soon as the proxy flag comes up.

A web based proxy server is free but you will quickly find that being free is far outweighed by how limited and restricted they are.  A better solution is to use an elite proxy server which offers 100% anonymity and super fast speeds while surfing the internet.
