• What are proxy servers?
  Proxy servers acts as middlemen between you and the websites that you visit. You are
  essentially requesting pages from the proxy server, which then requests those pages from
  the website you want to view. After retrieving the pages, the proxy server sends them to
  your browser. For you, the process is transparent and you can surf the web normally.

• How can proxy servers help protect your Internet privacy?
  Because the proxy server is the entity that is requesting the pages from the website that
  you are "visiting", your IP address does not have to be available to that website. Proxy
  servers offer varying levels of "anonymity", meaning that the amount of information about
  you that is relayed will vary from one proxy server to the next. Our proxy server list only
  includes servers that have scored "high anonymity". If you would like to scan for anonymity
  yourself, our Proxy Scanner is a useful and educational tool.

• How can I send anonymous email?
  If you are surfing with an anonymous proxy server, and then use a web-based email service
  to send email, you will significantly increase the "anonymity" of that email. Obviously, if your
  email includes personal information, this will defeat your efforts.

• How do I start using anonymous proxy servers?
  You can quickly jump between proxy servers by using our Proxy Changer tool, which is pre-
  configured with information on 20 highly anonymous proxy servers in 20 different countries.
  You can also easily add your own proxies from other lists or retrieved using a scanner.
