Features to Look For in an Anonymous Proxy

A good web proxy will allow you to setup a TLS or SSL tunnel. This will prevent packet sniffers from eavesdropping on you while you are surfing anonymously.


Some anonymous proxy servers support FTP, while others only support HTTP. Better anonymous proxy servers also support HTTPS. Make sure to select an anonymous proxy server which supports the protocols you wish to use.


In addition to hiding your IP address, an anonymous proxy server will typically remove traffic such as:



  • Cookies

  • Pop-ups

  • Banners

  • Scripts

  • Referrer information



These options should be configurable by the end-user to enable to proxy server to work with web sites which require cookies or pop-ups.
