free anonymous and transparent proxy servers list

There's no exact definition by what constitutes a Secure anonymous proxy or indeed an place you can find one for free on the internet. But I'd like to add some general aims and things to watch out for if you're searching for such a proxy server.

An important info to remember that simply adding the tag - ninja, elect or high anonymity to the description of a placeholder server does in fact have no effect whatsoever about how secure that server actually is. This might audio an obvious point but I have personally checked an huge list of supposedly 'Elite proxy servers' and to be honest my gran coulded.

Lets for instance take one of the identical basic premises of running a secure, anonymous proxy host - what context is the proxy service running in. Are this something you know about on proxy servers you've used?

Let me tell you why - the conclusive worse thing you can do is run the placeholder service as root, yet I see many that is configured in just this way. The problem is that any flaw, bug or vulnerability with your proxy host could lead to the compromise of the whole auto. The root account gives complete control of the waiter, and with it all your browsing, all your backlogs and any traffic you send through that proxy. These sounds pretty stupid but you will find that a lot 'free anonymous proxies' that appear in the net is configured exactly like this.

There is a common alternate which runs in the context of the user 'cipher', now this is much better as the account accepts no special privileges which coulded. But neither is it a suitable configuration as a high anonymous proxy and the reason for these is that the account will still have some interpret and write privileges over public areas and directories. Them will also have some rights over all logs made in the context of the 'nobody' user meaning possibly all users of the proxy have potential access to all the proxy logs and files created by these user.

The most secure alternative is what I'd expect to see on any highly anonymous proxy and that is that each user has a specific drug user ID for using the proxy server. This user account statement should have no other access rights whatsoever, each placeholder session would run in the context of this case-by-case user. This protects the security, anonymity of every drug user of the proxy and secures their files and backlogs from other surfers using the proxy service.

Configuring a anonymous proxy is extremely important, a badly configured and insecure proxy server puts all of it's users and their information at risk. Remember whenever you use an proxy server, you are creating a single log by all your browsing in addition to your ISP backlogs - if it is not secure you will be arranging your security at great risk, in fact much more not using a proxy at all. If you want a high anonymous proxy make sure you acquire one.
