Use a Proxy to Browse Privately

A proxy site is designed to increase your privacy on the web by hiding the public IP address issued by your internet service provider and routing all traffic through different public servers and addresses. Proxy sites help people avoid content blocks that some websites place on IP addresses from certain countries. When the website thinks that the request is coming from a supported country, there's no reason for it to block it. For example, if the website you want to use only works for Canadians, then you can use a Canadian proxy server to load the pages. Similarly, a proxy is useful when you're on a network that blocks a specific website but doesn't block the proxy site. In that case, you can use the proxy site as a gateway to access the blocked website.

There are many proxy sites on-line. A few of the more popular proxy sites include:

ProxySite 

Hide.Me 

Hide My Ass 

Kproxy 

Hidester Proxy 

4everproxy 

ProxFree 

VPN Book

* It is important to understand that while a proxy provides privacy, it may not necessarily provide anonymity if the proxy service keeps logs.
