  1. A Basic Guide on Proxies

  2. Ever heard of the word proxy? In the dictionary, it means that it’s a person that can represent someone else. It can also be used in pertaining to objects. But if you are in the corporate world, you might encounter it as a term used as a server or something related on the internet. So what it is exactly? Let’s find out with this basic information about web proxies.

  3. What is a proxy? A proxy is a point to point connection between your device (your PC or mobile device) and the internet. It acts as a middleman and a filter for the internet not to see your personal information. It’s like when you request to websites or servers on the Internet, they will do that job for you. When you type in for example now.com, the proxy server will let you go there where the website is hosted. Then the website needs information of you to enter, so the proxy will do that for and lets you visit the site being anonymous.

  4. So if that’s what it is, how do proxies work? This provides a tunnel of the internet traffic and it will just go to its own server which means that the browser will just see nothing but static. It is a device that hides your real IP address by its own IP address that makes you browse the internet without revealing your true identity.

  5. Cool! Where can I get one? Because there are geniuses out there (and scammers too), you can have proxies for free! Just look for it on the internet and try to download but this is totally unadvisable. Even though there are many trusted free proxy servers out there, chances are that they contain suspicious information that can harm your computer. Many free proxies have viruses and bugs that can ruin your PC’s system. Thus, your goal to keep you secured can turn into a complete disaster.

  6. The best advice is that you should buy one. Private Proxies are great for security reasons. You can cost you some cash but the benefits of it are way better than having free proxies. Look for the proxy that suits for you. In the academe or in the field of medicine and research, they use high-quality proxies. But for home purposes, you can just have a decent one.

  7. So, can I get your final thoughts? Well, just a piece of advice, proxies might get you to encounter some problems too. It’s all up to you on how will you utilize them. Also, there are external factors that are not in your control like how they are configured. Just remember to understand it fully first before you can have one.
