I have only ever used them in my schools to access facebook or what not.
I don't know how they actually work or what they really do.
I find them interesting but am not sure where to look that is safe information.

Do you know anything about proxies?
I want to learn about them.

I use them for watching Yank Netflix, I mean uhh going on holiday for an hour to the USA so that I can access US netflix.

Proxies are usually quite mundane, just people hopping around region locks and content restrictions.

It's basically a way of masking your IP to trick servers into thinking you are from a different place than the one where your normal IP would ping from. So say I lived in londonistan, I could use a proxy to pretend I was from somewhere in france <.<

In terms of the actual mechanics of them, I'm sure there are other chaps in here who know more about the specifics of them <.<

Okay so how would you know if it's a secure proxy or not?

No idea really >.>

I just use the Hola one on Chrome and it seems pretty fine for region hopping, if you were thinking of any more more serious than that, I'd say to ask someone who knows their stuff better than I lol.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I've had a go a few times at basic proxies (just google "proxy server" and it does it all for you), mostly to access AMD for Walking Dead or that Pandora radio thing that seemed interesting at the time.

Now I never use 'em, have no real need, though I now have Hola! (http://hola.org/) in case for VPN's.

They can be used for stuff like the guys above said, but they can also be used for 1337 hax0r stuff I guess, but that's only if you have one that won't sell you out/ is good.

Not looking to get into that stuff despite how interesting it is. I just honestly want more security.

I thought you were referring to proxy organizations, which is far more interesting than the proxies you're referring to. >__>

Pretty much acting through proxies in nearly any scenario. It happens extremely often and it's interesting to read about.
