What are Anonymous Proxies?
Circumventors, shadow surfing, anonymizers, proxy avoidance call them what you will, anonymous proxies have been with us for about as long as weve been filtering the web. What they provide is simple online anonymity. This may be a lifeline for political dissidents in countries where censorship is a problem but it is also a major problem for organizations who need to control and monitor their users web access. In basic terms, anonymous proxies are simply proxy servers – they pass users web requests onto other servers on the Internet. They help users to sidestep security by allowing them to browse secretly through them and view banned online content within them – without disclosing the URLs they visit to filtering products.
