Public Proxies 101

What are the public representatives

In essence, public proxies are websites that you can simply go through your browser. However, unlike other content sites, typical public representatives have only two pages – Landing Page and page of results. Landing Page is nothing more than a web form is an area where you can enter a site URL, while the results page (often called Proxified page) displays the contents drawn from the requested server. Why call these sites "Proxies"? Because they act as your agent to surf the web. For example, instead of directly visiting YouTube.com, you first go to a public proxy site, then ask him to get YouTube videos for you.

Who needs public proxy servers

Public proxy servers are visited by millions of people every day. Typical users are:

College students who want to bypass filters firewall school to visit sites like Facebook or MySpace.
staffs of companies that want to open external websites blocked by the corporate network.
People who have concerns about their privacy online and want to hide their IP address.
People who want access to Web content or streaming video available only for certain countries.
People who want to accelerate their network connections to the specific websites.

Using Web proxies are free

Believe it or not, most public representatives are free to use.

On the other hand, you can see advertisements on their sites, like Google Adsense, banner ads or pop-ups.
