Proxies privacy ...

Proxies are capable of keeping you totally anonymous from hackers and logs.

Some proxies allow you to change the title of all the pages you see. This can come very in-handy if you are using a shared computer. This way, no matter who uses the computer, he or she will be unable to look at your browser’s history and see the pages you have browsed (the name of the proxy will appear instead).

Other proxies allow you to block images or advertisement. By blocking images and ADS, you are safe from seeing anything unwanted. We all know the internet is a dangerous place and there’s a bit of everything to see. Proxies can help you block everything or see everything whenever you want.

In conclusion, proxies are perfectly capable to maintain your identity completely anonymous. If you want, you can connect to a proxy in a foreign country such as China and make it look like you’re browsing the web from there. Many people are discontent at how easy it is for the government to see which pages you’re browsing.
