Question Proxy Servers

Does anyone know of any fast/reliable/free proxy servers.

If you do, do you find that it makes your internet surfing faster?

I have done google searches but the servers I have found are painfully slow or cannot for some reason find some websites.

Proxies don't make the internet faster, ever.

Don't know of any good free proxies but I would disagree with Thrax. ISA Server 2000 makes surfing a lot faster if you have a large enterprise network and schedule frequently visited sites to be cached @ off-peak times. Also saves loads of bandwidth. Think about it, you schedule sites to be cached @ regular intervals during off-peaks hours. Then when users request a site it's served up from a server on the LAN and their request never has to hit the web. Saves time and bandwidth.

top: Thrax and Karma are both refering to Proxies like the ones used for anonaminity, not ones used on corporate LANs. Corp LAN ones will make browsing faster on that LAN, but the proxies Karma is talking about are the other type...

I am trying to put together a proxy page but it only contains one at the moment as they are not the easiest thing to find.

I am using it at work now to avoid works whitelisting and blacklisting.

Its easy to find huge lists, but most the time they dont work.

Yes. I'm speaking of proxies for the sole purpose of anonymity, not enterprise-class cache-proxies.

This one appears good. http://www.proxomitron.info/ and this site is supposed to have good support and info for it http://www.jd5000.net/ I don't use any proxy but for some reason I have these links. Thought I would pass them on.

Proxies are good thing to know about incase someone bans your IP block inadvertantly from, say an IRC channel. Don't go abusing this though. It can get you in trouble

If you want anonymous browsing -

But you have to note, only some certain SOCKS proxies will work with IRC.
