Free Proxy Servers to Safeguard Computer Networks

The abuse of freedom is almost inevitable in today's world. As a check, a lot of restrictions have to be put in place to safeguard certain values thereby, almost making a joke of our hard earned freedom.

No doubt, the human nature is very exploratory, adventurous and daring. This perhaps could explain the inability of certain humans to follow law and order or behave in an easily predictable or desired.

Trespassing is a crime inherent to humans hence, the need for laws and measures to protect private property to be enacted.

In the cyber space, trespassing still poses a major problem. The unwanted or unauthorised use or abuse of private or public networks has warranted the employment of proxy servers to safeguard these networks.

As it is the convention, every solution creates another problem hence the problem arises where the proxy server blocks or filters even contents of websites that doesn't pose any threat to the security of the network.

While the network owners might be justified in controlling or limiting access to their network, users can always find harmful or harmless reasons to want to circumvent this control. Whatever your reasons are, you are responsible for your actions.

Since some proxy servers only filter out unwanted or unauthorised traffic and only system administrators are able to change these settings; to be able to access most of this network, free proxy servers is a very common way to go about it.

An internet search will reveal that there are some free proxy servers websites that provide ways (codes) to bypass most filters. When browsing from these sites, one is able to visit any sites whenever they want without any restrictions. It also allows an anonymous user to browse the web securely - personal and private information that is shared over the net is encrypted.

The website also grants one unrestricted access to websites that are for any reasons blocked by school, work, or countries network etc. The steps are very simple:

• Open any web browser and search for free proxy servers. If you are going to pass personal information to this server, you must make sure that is hosted by owners with known integrity otherwise, you run a risk of having your data intercepted.
• When you find a suitable one, type the web address of the blocked site you are trying to access into the space provided and enter.
• This takes you to the page that you are trying to access.

Depending on what sites you are visiting, you might be prompted to enable JavaScript for the site to work optimally. To do so, go to ‘'Tools' menu and select ‘Internet Options'. From the ‘Security' tab enable ‘Active Scripting' and click ‘Ok' to enable JavaScript. Restart the computer for the effect to take place.

You can now bypass the filters set by proxy servers and gain access to any sites of your choice.
