Bypass That Firewall
Do you need to bypass firewalls that restrict your Internet connection and your ability to browse certain types of websites? In this MasterNewMedia guide I have collected the best proxy servers out there that you can use to regain full control of your Internet activities.

Whether it's your company, your school, your telecom provider or even your government restraining your free access to the Internet, you may want to give a close look to what proxy servers are and to how they can help you unblock websites of any kind and keep your personal privacy safe.
A proxy server is an online service that acts an intermediary between you and the web site you want to visit by routing the request you make to open a web site across different servers scattered around the world instead of making a direct call.
The main advantage of such proxy services is that you no longer appear to be connecting from the place where you physically are, but instead you seem to be somewhere else. You have a completely different IP address (a unique number that identifies your computer on the Internet) which prevents the firewall you're behind to make sense of your location, thus liberating you from any restriction.
Proxy servers are also free and very easy to use: just type the URL of the web site you want to visit and the service will bring you there. That's really all you need to know and all that matters for non-technical users like you and me.
Here my personal list to get you started immediatley:
InvisibleSurfing
InvisibleSurfing is an online proxy to bypass firewalls and surf the Internet in an anonymous fashion without spending a dime.
To bypass Internet filters while at school or at work, just type the URL of the web site you want to visit and click on "Continue". You will then be redirected to the site you have chosen byt your IP address will be routed so that it appears you come from the United States. No further customization options are available.

Stay Incognito
Stay Incognito is a free online proxy service that provides you with the convenience of surfing the web anonymously not giving away any of your personal data.

Stay Incognito supports only HTTP and FTP URLs. Some functions from the visited websites may not work, such as JavaScript elements. You can adjust the settings, including: removing cookies, ads and scripts, hiding referrer information and showing the URL entry form.

To hide your IP address while browsing, enter the URL of the web site you want to visit and click on "Visit this site via Web Warper". The service does not guarantee full anonymity though, only enough to hide your IP address on text-based sites: you cannot post messages to forums or visit websites with other content besides text (such as images, videos, etc.).

Hide My IP Address

Besides, if you are a bit tech-savvy, you can fine-tune your anonymous browsing experience from the "Edit Browser" custom menu.
