How to Use a Proxy

Video Preview

Introduction

Learn how easy it is to use a proxy to go to your favorite sites like Myspace, Bebo, or Facebook even when you are at school or behind a filter. Proxies enable you to mask or hide your IP Address and effectively change your online identity. No one will know who you are except for you. This comes in handy when you want to go to blocked or restricted websites.

Tips & Warnings:

  • There are also a few special features that LinkItTo.com has:
  • Has the ability to make a page look like wikipedia.org (very useful)
  • Has a few useful links that can earn you some good money on the side.
  • Has HTTPS (Secure Sockets Layer a.k.a. SSL) (which means everything you do is encrypted as opposed to other proxies who can steal your personal information)
  • While LinkItTo is a free service, they generate revenue based on its users involvement with sponsors. While its users are never obligated to, such participation with sponsors keeps the proxy running:)
  • Using a proxy may indeed be a breach of you school contract or some other form of binding.
