Website proxy servers and TOR
Now, close the Firefox browser and reopen. Open new website and if you are not able to get connected to the website, find new proxy address and try again.
Note: Before changing the settings take a screen shot of the settings by PrtScn button and paste in ms paint.
It will act like a backup for you. In case you want to switch back to previous settings you can refer the screen shot
take earlier.
Many people prefer to hide their locations while browsing. If surfing anonymously is the reason, then my advice is
to use TOR Mozilla Aurora. The Tor network automatically does those stuffs for you.
TOR not only prevents your privacy but also on instant messaging and emailing. One of the benefit of using proxy
server is that you can open blocked websites like Facebook and other Social networking site.
