Step One: Go to tools, then internet options.

Step Two: Then go to Connections, then LAN Settings.

Step Three: Next, check off the box that says Use a proxy server.

Step Four: Go to hidemyass.com and take a proxy from the list.

Step Five: Enter the proxy in to the blank spots, and hit OK.

Short and Simple Guide but what are Proxy Servers used for?

Thanks.

they're used for hiding your IP address on a website. It's basically as if you're searching from someone elses location, but you're still at your own house.
