Does your work university,college,school or even work place block your favorite websites such as youtube, friendster or some other websites?. Some website are 100% legitimate but for stupid reasons they end up getting blocked by universities or organization.

Well for starters you could use proxy servers. If you don’t know what they are in laymen terms they are basically computers that mask your ip address and allow for anonymous web surfing.
Why are there such a growing number of proxy sites that provide this service? The answer is that various types of censorship exist to prevent access to many Internet resources
They are tones of proxy servers online including softwares. I wont go into detail on that, theres plenty of resources online take some time out and google it up. Web based proxies are a quick alternative when using lets say a public computer with out administrator rights and are a great way of surfying restricted sites without the need of buying expensive software.

below i have listed some good web based proxy sites.
