How to Use a Proxy

Proxies are the most popular and convenient way to remain anonymous on the web. It is used by even the most tech savvy users to not show their IP address. So I'm now going to give you a lesson on how to use them. The first thing you have to know is the proxy website, first of all. So I'll give you the URL http://www.proxify.com/
So that makes step 1,

Step 1: Go to Proxify or proxy of your choice.

Step 2: Select your options. This is what the options do. (There is also a picture below)
Remove all cookies: Prevents websites from storing cookies (click to read about cookies) on your computer.
Remove all scripts: Prevents website from showing scripts (disables javascript). In other words, if you check it you can't play games or watch youtube or any videos. This is done so that the website can't do anything unwanted to your computer through javascript, since most viruses come from it.
Remove ads: Just removes advertisements, simple as that. If you are questioning what ads are take a begginers computer class :)
Hide refferer information: (click for more info) Dis-allows the website to see what redirected you to theirs. Useful if you don't want something to know what website you were on when you clicked the link to theirs.
Text only: Only shows you text on all website visited through the proxy. In other words, no pictures, games, videos, or colorful stuff :)
Show URL entry form: (locked, you cannot disable this function) Shows you the URL on the address bar.
Remove Page Titles: (locked) Doesn't allow you to show the title of the page on your browser tab.
Minimize Caching: (locked) Pretty much useless. When selected, it will prevent caching of any resource recieved.
Hide useragent: Doesn't allow websites to view your browser information or system info.
Hex encode URL's: Hides what URL you went to from the computer basically. This is useful when trying to get through a firewall at work or school (educational purposes only).

Step 3: Now you can search whatever you want with the selected options. You are now immune to web filters also. Your IP is also hidden, so most people will not be able to find your real one. Be aware that if your on a computer which has a firewall that block proxify.com, use one of the other thousands of proxies online. Or just search them on this link: http://www.newestproxies.com/

Now, if you want to install Tor, you can browse anonymously through the browser that comes with it. With Tor it is even harder to track your IP address and you can browse freely without having to type in URL's to the proxy.

Notes: 

Going through a proxy does not guarantee your IP is untrackable. Many professionals can easily track an IP through a proxy. If you are concerned about being completely untrackable, try going through multiple proxies. You can do this by typing in the URL of another proxy into the first one.

When using a proxy, you cannot use Flash Player for security reasons. This is mainly because you can be tracked through your proxies while using flash.
