Free proxy servers - Unblock sites

Well internet has gone through a quite a state of transition. So have the measures to restrict its use in every day life. Whether it be colleges banning myspace or restricting access to chat in workplaces. Under such condition one is forced to find some other means to have access. One such way is proxy servers. Proxy servers act like an interface between the user and the web page you want access to. Now there are a number of useful purposes that a proxy server provides like hiding your ip address. Under no circumstances will your ip address be disclosed and your identity disclosed. You don’t have to go through all those Google searches to find one. After a detailed study we have prepared a list of free proxy servers. It is simple to use. Just click on any one of the proxy servers provided on the list and click "surf now".

Free proxy servers

In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) which services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's request or the server's response, and sometimes it may serve the request without contacting the specified server. In this case, it would 'cache' the first request to the remote server, so it could save the information for later, and make everything as fast as possible.

A proxy server that passes all requests and replies unmodified is usually called a gateway or sometimes tunneling proxy.

A proxy server can be placed in the user's local computer or at specific key points between the user and the destination servers or the Internet.

A proxy server can service requests without contacting the specified server, by retrieving content saved from a previous request, made by the same client or even other clients. This is called caching. Caching proxies keep local copies of frequently requested resources, allowing large organizations and Internet Service Providers to significantly reduce their upstream bandwidth usage and cost, while significantly increasing performance. There are well-defined rules for caching. Some poorly-implemented caching proxies have had downsides (e.g., an inability to use user authentication). Some problems are described in RFC 3143 (Known HTTP Proxy/Caching Problems).
