Public Proxies 101

What are Public Proxies

In essence, public proxies are websites which you can simply visit through your browser. However, unlike other content sites, typical public proxies only have two pages – Landing Page and Result Page. Landing Page is nothing more than a one-field web form where you can enter a site URL; while Result Page (often called Proxified Page) displays the contents pulled from the requested server. Why call those websites “Proxies”? Because they act as your agent of web surfing. For example, instead of directly visiting YouTube.com, you first go to a public proxy site, then ask it to retrieve YouTube videos for you.

All you Wanted to Know About Proxies

Though a common term in the computer age today, it needn’t bring out doubt in users. We all know what a proxy is, something that’s used instead of the real thing, especially when it comes to dubious deals where you send a proxy to carry out an intended act instead of the real person. Similarly in the world of servers, proxy servers are fast gaining popularity. A closed proxy can be accessed by limited people and permits using someone else’s computer to conceal your identity and/or location. An open proxy refers to a proxy server that can be accessed by anyone who uses the Internet.

One way that people sometimes (and should more often) use is proxy servers – but what are these servers and how do they keep you safer on the web?
