free email that works with proxy server

One of the greatest problems of the internet nowadays is security. Viruses, adware, spam, trojan horses, malware, adware and of course chopping are the main problems. The largest part of altogether internet users are unaware of most of these affairs and will never know their passwords and charge card info might become visible for others. Nothing can afford you 100% security, but applying a few easy affairs will improve online security greatly. Here are some affairs everyone should do:

Install a virus scanner and firewall

A good virus scanner and firewall are an duty these days. Do not trust the firewall of your ISP, modem and especially not Microsoft's firewall. Virus digital scanner* are never already installed on a modem or something, so you have to install one yourself. There is countless virus scanners and firewalls available, but the better ones are McAfee, Norton, AVG and ZoneAlarm. The close two have a great advantage over the first 2 because they are totally free. I recommend using AVG's virus scanner and ZoneAlarm's firewall.

Use a proxy

An proxy server is a server that is meant to hide someone's IP. Your IP (Internet Protocol) is an number that is unique for every computer and it's static so you cannot change it when you messed things up. If a hacker finds out your IP he or she can get all your fact if you are unlucky. This means that it's very important to hide this number. A proxy acts like this: normally when you click on a associate or a button, the browser sends the info to the web server. With a proxy the info bequeath be sent to the proxy server first, and so to the web server. If the web server calls back your IP, it will retrieve the IP of the proxy server, not yours. This also works from the web server to your computer. A counterpart of this proxies is that the owner of the proxy host can see all data (including passwords and charge card info for example), so install a proxy of human you trust.

How to set up a Proxy

It's easy to set up a proxy, but abide by the following steps very accurate, because a little blame can resolve into an unsafe proxy, or an computer error.

Step one: finding a good, anonymous proxy

The 1st thing you need to do is to find an good proxy. There are free and paid proxies broke up all over the net. Paid proxies are better about of the time (more anonymity), but there are adept free ones also. Search for the best and most anon. proxy that's out there. To help you a bit, here is a list of free proxies. These list is updated every day. Transparent proxies are dangerous, don't use them. The best proxies are the ones with high anonymity. Choose one that you like.

Abuse two: install the proxy

After you found your placeholder, write the IP and the port of the placeholder on a piece of paper. The process of establishing a proxy varies from browser to browser, so I'll explain the installation process for Internet Explorer alone. After you have opened Internet Explorer, go to cyberspace Options and then click on the Connections tab. Blue-ribbon the LAN Settings button if you have a local area network or DSL connection, or if you have a dial-up connection, choose your connection and click the Settings abut. From there, enable use a proxy server and case the proxy IP and port in the address and port fields. Click OK twice and you're done.

Abuse three: monitor the proxy

This step is often blanked out by a lot of people. Proxies, especially free ones, tend to disappear, quit working or become transparent. Course you don't want this to happen, so agree your proxy every now and then (I recommend to check at least every month) to be sure you'll stay anonymous.
