What makes a great proxy?

What makes a great proxy?

Proxies are very popular for the services they provide, but what differentiates them and makes a proxy a great proxy? Besides it's usability, undoubtedly it's speed. When you are browsing through a web proxy, your request passes through a third server, the one that hosts the proxy. A proxy site will benefit from a good proxy host where the servers are set to handle the extra demands placed on them (See dualrack, monsterproxy and xproxyhost). Many hosting companies will not accept proxies on their shared services. Therefore, if your proxy continually provides slow speeds it could be time to switch! Usability is more difficult to measure as it relies on personal preferences. The continual opening of ads can be tolerated by some but very annoying to others. Though, we at popfreeproxies would not accept proxies with any full-page pop-ups. Proxy owners may need to configure their sites to run some web sites such as YouTube. Note, these changes are not always made! Finally, if you are passing sensitive data we advice using a proxy with SSL encryption.

Technical attributes of a proxy site:
- Data passes through an encrypted connection (SSL)
- Displays the secure sign in the URL box  (HTTPS: connections)
- Hides your client IP providing an anonymous connection
- Offers configurable settings (Cookies, Javascript, Objects)
- Display of ads to fund the site.
- Type of proxy ie Glype.
- Hosting services.
- Privacy Policy
- Term of use

Welcome to PopFreeProxies a blog of everything proxy!

To start this blog I will go back to the beginning and simply explain how proxy sites work. This I will follow with, what makes a good proxy and how it can be used. Finally, for those so inclined describe how to create your own proxy site.

Proxy sites simply explained!


Proxy sites are websites that allow you to surf the web browsing your favourite sites while masking your computer details. This is known as anonymous surfing and achieved by the proxy acting as an intermediary between you and the source. The source site only sees the proxy, and not your computer that made the original request. Therefore, if you are based in Europe and connecting via a US proxy the source site will receive details of the proxy. This is a simple explanation, in reality the source site does have access to small pieces of information that can alert to the fact a proxy is being used. This information can and is occasionally used to block the request.

Types of proxy


There are three types firstly the transparent proxy, which is used differently (system performance) and is not anonymous and for this reason will ignore it. The two other types  (simple and elite) are anonymous as described above. The difference between a simple and an elite proxy is that when using a simple proxy, websites are potentially aware a proxy is being used, while the elite proxy doesn't reveal this information.
