Surfing at school? Parents enabled website blocking? Stuck behind a strict firewall? There are lots of ways around the problem so that you can get to the sites you want to see without those cybernannies tying your hands…
phproxy is “dedicated to bringing you fast web browsing from behind web filters”. Simply tap in the URL of that banned site you really must see, it could be Facebook, MySpace, Youtube, or a renegade blogger behind enemy lines, and you will be able to access it with no problems. More seriously, the proxy allows you to visit a site anonymously because it is the proxy itself that is visiting the banned site not you, and so keeps your browsing hidden from prying eyes allowing you to protect your online identity.

The Need For Online Privacy
All Internet-connected computers and other devices are assigned an IP (short for "Internet Protocol") address. IP addresses are used to both identify a computer and for addressing network communications to and from it. Any website that you visit can detect your IP address and then use it to find more information about you, to track you online, or even to discover your real-world identity.
As a demonstration, we have detected that you are currently browsing this website using the IP address "27.60.62.139". Don't worry! We won't tell anyone. In fact, we'll help you to disguise your IP so that your IP address is completely hidden from the websites you visit.
How Can I Hide My IP Address?
With free web-based proxy sites. These proxies enable you to anonymize your IP address by acting as an intermediary between your computer and websites. The way it works is simple: you connect to the proxy server, type in a webpage address, the proxy then connects to the website and requests the webpage on your behalf, and provides it to you. In short, when you use a proxy, the websites you visit will see a completely different IP address that can't be used to track you.
Such a proxy also allows you to visit sites that have banned your IP. This might be a forum or just a website or blog from which you or other users on your IP range (whether on your school or company network or your ISP account) have been barred access. The proxy server is an open gateway between your web destination and you.
Other proxies exist, such as
www.the-cloak.com (please make sure you include the hyphen in that URL or you will be in for a shock).

Of course, we should add a disclaimer at this point, please don’t use proxies or anonymizers to break the law or to cause malice and please don’t abuse the service as they are usually free.
