How to surf using proxies with Internet Explorer

Proxy surfing enables you to surf anonymously a web site by entering custom Ips addresses.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Proxies server that work
• Internet Explorer

1. Webproxies are a great way to stay anonymous with almost no work required on your site. You open the url of the webproxy, enter the url you want to visit and visit the site you want to visit using the ip of the webproxy. Easy and fast method that has some problems as well. First, it might not support all scripts that the site you want to visit uses. This could be a problem, maybe it has only the effect that the design does not look as usual, maybe functions of the website do not work. If thats the case try different webproxy server.
   
   The servers can easily be blocked by a firewall or other means of blocking scripts / urls. If that is the case you could try and setup your own webproxy. All you need is webspace that supports php / cgi. You can try cgi proxy or php proxy or search the web for more scripts.
2. Unlike webproxies proxies are mere ip addresses that route your request to the destination. The important factor if a proxy can be used to hide your identity is if it spills your ip. It does not make sense to use a proxy to stay anonymous if the destination sees your ip and not the one from the proxy
   
   In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options. Now, go to Connection and hit Lan Settings
3. Now go to Proxy Server and check the box to active it
4. Now put the address and the port in (you should already have the proxy information)
5. Firefox has some great proxy extensions like the switch proxy tool. You probably would like to know where you get the proxies that you check in charon ? You can perform searches for proxy lists, visit irc or scan for yourself for example.
