Finally a innovative proxy website. Web Proxies are all alike, mostly. They use the same four of five proxy scripts that are available, may have a different design and tend to disappear after 1-12 months. Worldproxy added an interesting new feature to it’s proxy: Country selection. Many multimedia services, like streaming Internet radio or video, are limited to users of a specific country by the service provider and proxies are one of the ways to beat the protection to be able to view the contents of the website from a country that is normally not allowed to view them.
Worldproxy (via Technospot) makes use of that by offering its visitors a country based proxy map. Currently only three countries are available: United States, Canada and Great Britain. The United States proxy is currently not working, the other two are working fine and it is probably just a glitch that the US proxy is not working right now.
Proxy selection by country is unfortunately the only new aspect of that proxy website. It does come with a toolbar that can be used to quickly switch between different country proxies but I normally do not install toolbars because they tend to take away screen space.

Users can suggest new countries which means that it is likely that other countries will be added to the map in future updates. The proxy obviously can be used for different things as well. It is for instance possible to check ads that are running on your website when a visitor of a certain country visits it.

Works nice, quite fast as well. I’m in Canada at this time, never made the flight from France so quickly!
Decent idea (not very original btw) but number of countries avaible is… lacking. :))))
Very nice! I used GRC.com’s Shield’s Up to test. Everything worked quickly from the US and GB. However, SU did have a problem when browser headers were blocked. Not something I consider a flaw.
I use Vidalia bundle (it’s Tor and Privopoxy),
but to choose a country is a good idea, I’ll try it, it seems easier then

thx
That is a decent idea but for a no frills proxy thats reliable and fast from any location i use zippast.com
Thnks man, this reall helped.
Too bad this fell into a state of disrepair to some degree. Haven’t gotten the UK proxy to work for me for probably a year or more. Canada still worked though.
