Free online web proxy
Just a quick one this time. A new free online proxy site opened up its gate. You can use it to bypass restrictions at school or work for example. (e.g. filtered sites) Unfortunately its named Hide my ass which might be banned as well from work or school. Try it out and see for yourself: hidemyass.com
Online Proxy Servers – Now Countless
Granted, online privacy is an issue that has been controversial for some time and we deserve privacy on many levels. The invasion of our personal activities by outside observers is something that many users have taken to the level of creating intricate personal security systems. It is a fact that government restrictions are increasing exponentially. The struggle of the computer user to maintain this privacy is more than noble; it is duty in a certain sense. However, the point of this article is not to discuss rights or restrictions. The fact that there are so many online proxy services is a curiosity. Why such a great number? This is a rhetorical question in a sense, but is does beg answers and it is certain that users will respond.
Infoblox is just one example of online proxy servers. In fact, it is an example of a host of other similar servers. You can use this to your advantage however you see fit. When you are concerned about your security as you browse the internet and engage yourself with various websites for whatever reason, a proxy server is one of your better solutions. Think about a proxy server as a diplomat. A proxy server is like a shield that allows you to view a site and keep your ISP’s nose out of at least most of your personal business. Keep in mind that your access to the proxy server will be recorded by your ISP, but it is possible to overstep what they are actually able to capture when you use such a server.
As proposed in the original posting on this topic, has anyone noticed how many of these servers there are? Just take a look at this:
That is just a few. On a search timed over a five minute period, almost one thousand proxy servers were identified. Many of them are malicious. What you need to know as a user is that you can use these servers to your advantage, but pleas be cautious. Use Web of Trust (WOT) to begin with and see what other users have to say about the server you will be using. Be sure to monitor your ADS and check on what ports are being accessed. You can have a good experience with using proxy servers, just as many have. The thing you need to do is “watch your virtual back.†Good luck and enjoy happy, private browsing.

Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
When will you put an end to the mess in the comments?
Ghacks comments have been broken for too long. What article did you see this comment on? Reply below. If we get to 20 different articles we should all stop using the site in protest.
I posted this on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/28/reddit-enforces-user-activity-tracking-on-site-to-push-advertising-revenue/] so please reply if you see it on a different article.
Comment redirected me to [https://www.ghacks.net/2012/08/04/add-search-the-internet-to-the-windows-start-menu/] which seems to be the ‘real’ article it is attached to
