If you are sick and tired of all this browser security stuff, and browsing restrictions at the work place then here’s some good news for you…

In fact not ‘SOME’, but rather ‘PLENTY’ of good news for you – say hello to the free web proxies!

Internet censoring is now prevalent almost everywhere and in most corporate office, sites like Facebook, Blogger, MySpace, and Orkut are blocked; no wonder many of us are looking for ways of accessing blocked websites.

After some research and investigation work into the matter, I discovered many methods available for bypassing website access restrictions and the same have been discussed here.

A free web proxy is basically something to get around school/work filters to sites like Myspace and Bebo. Web proxies are also used to stay safe and hide your identity on the net.

Using an Anonymizer you can access a third party site, which in turn routes your request to the required server. Some services provide URL encryption also. The problem is that most of these servers are no longer free. Doing a Google search for the latest list is always a good idea, as this is a very dynamic area. Following are some free online web proxies that can come in handy, and help the cause.

Daily Best Links – Hides original URL and provides an array of access of options, and is one of the best free online web proxies.

Anonymous – It works well, but URL is still visible and hence may be blocked by the filtering software. It is an anonymous website un-blocker & online privacy tool. Using this site you can access all the websites your network admin and/or country don’t want you to be looking at.

As a matter of fact many folks don’t know that Web sites often track, log, and analyze your IP address, geographical information, web browser, and other personal information! It makes your browsing experience totally anonymous by hiding such information from the sites you visit. The best part of the story is that this website is completely free!

You may subscribe to such free proxy websites, which facilitate proxy access to blocked sites. Moreover, doing a small Google search and collecting more info is always a great option.

Though a word of caution here would be that you must be extremely careful whenever you are using public proxy servers because it is possible for the guy who is hosting the service to snoop on the data that is passing through.

So, I wouldn’t recommend putting any important information such as credit card details etc when you are using a free public web proxy server method.

Have fun with free web proxies, and enjoy browsing any site at office that you always wanted to…
