Hopefully in this guide, I aim to teach you how to use an HTTP Proxy for Privacy purposes only. I do not condone illegal activities while using a proxy.

Step 1:

Go to this website:

Step 2:

Click "The list of free proxies" and you should see something like this:




Step 3:

Copy all of the proxies in the HTTP Proxy list, and go back to the main page.

Step 4:

Click "Check Proxies Online" and you should see this:



Step 5:

Step 7:

Things Proxies Can Be Helpful For:

• If you uses a filtering proxy, they can help filter out illegal content.
• Stay anonymous while browsing websites.
