Proxys contd…..

Lets continue with the subject in hand “proxys”.When we send or request information in web,it travels directly from our PC to the server of the site.This leaves our IP address in the open ,so inorder to mask or hide our IP we use a proxy server.

FLOW DIAGRAM




The flow diagram clearly shows how the proxy server acts as a intermediate.When you go thro a proxy server you are assigned different IPs ,meanwhile your original IP is perfectly hidden.The IPs assigned to you keep on changing thus ensuring your “anonymity” in the web and pulls a invisible cloak over you.

Ok proxys are good for the safe surfing stuff,but where else they come in handy????Heres the part where proxys are really helpful.Surfing thro’ your college or your company some sites are blocked by the administrator.Mostly social sites like ORKUT,FACEBOOK,MYSPACE etc are blocked in colleges and schools.If you want to access this its possible only via a proxy server.Listed below are the best proxy sites,check it out
