PHP Proxies

"Proxy" is no longer just some obscure legal term. Now internet proxies are used by everyone from students and workers to people living in countries like Iran or China where the government censor their citizens traffic.

When you surf the web you give an enormous amount of information to the websites you visit: ip address, location, referrer, browser, resolution, isp, etc. The most identifiable bit of information here being your ip address. By putting a phproxy between you and the websites you visit your ip remains hidden.

Make sure you are anonymous, often times free proxies don't actually work and your ip address is revealed without you even knowing it. Use this page to find out if your ip is actually hidden.
