Today rising internet users are facing a lot of problems because of hackers around the world. Malware and virus is most common cause for infecting computers these days. Fixing malware infestations can be very complex and time unbearable. Many “malware ailments” are “hidden” in the computer’s most “critical” sections. Any mistake can cause permanent damage. To prevent from these types of problems use the wise way would be use “web proxy” which is “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Web proxy is a program that allows users to browse the Web while keeping their identity a secret. By using a proxy, users can prevent third parties such as children, parents and employers from investigative their browsing history, while at the same time surfing the Web in nearly its entirety. Even it can obstruct hacker attempts to steal personal data.

When internet user visits a web proxy site such as Proxy.org, The user then enters the URL of the website he wants to visit into the proxy website’s search bar. That website is then displayed to the user. Since the proxy website made the request, the users own information (computer name, IP address, location, etc.) is not displayed. Thus, the user can surf anonymously. Here web proxy performs internet object cache function by storing requested internet objects, i.e., data available via HTTP and FTP protocols on a system poisoned closer to the recipient than the site the data is originated from. Here closer means increased path reliability speed or both. Web browsers can then use the local proxy cache to speed up access and external reduce bandwidth utilization. When setting up web proxy, make sure it serves only your clients, and is not misused as relay. Some web proxies block JavaScript and “referrers” (identifies a visitor’s origin) to establish secure surfing. A web proxy can unblock websites and bypass filters. It allows you to secure you privacy such as you IP address but also give you access to certain places that may have been block to your networks. With the help of a proxy you will able to unblock those websites that have been blocked with your network’s provider, as this will enable you to surf the internet using another server with another IP address.

There are a number of different web proxy anonymity levels. Higher levels use “cloaked” and “encrypted” techniques – encoding the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and establishing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Access to provide for safe web surfing. A web proxy is undetectable; use hidden identification to send anonymous e-mails.

The online criminals are very much competent of installing proxies. Of course the purpose is to snoop upon the dataflow between the client machine and the web. The proxy operator can imprison and examine all the accessed pages as well as submitted forms so once if an unauthorized proxy has been detected the password of all the online services such as webmail, banking etc, should immediately be changed.

Protect your privacy. Make sure that your web activities cannot be tracked. Use a web proxy so that you can weaken into web traffic and not be inimitably recognized. Malware cannot assault you, if it cannot locate you.
