How to Set Up a Proxy Server List
A proxy server is the middleman between the user and the client. It can be used to keep the user anonymous to the client it's trying to connect to, or to cache the web pages. Though finding a proxy server is easy, searching for the right ones are not. There are thousands of proxy servers to date, but with a website of your own, you set up your own proxy-server list and even share your findings with others.

Blogspot is a top service for a free website; it's easy to navigate and user-friendly. Because it is a free service, though, your web page will have a few advertisements.
