Any good proxy servers out there?

Anyone know a reliable, preferrably free proxy server in the US or a list of proxy servers?

Thanks in advance.

    I’ve found that proxies are really not very good at what they claim to be able to do. As you probably already know they get blocked constantly. In the rare circumstance that a proxy works you find that they have issues with many web site features that make them useless. Plus they are easy to break and leak information.

    As reported on many news and security sites the number of proxies run by hackers is also growing daily. This growth is fueled by the ever growing numbers of hackers in the world needing to create bot nets to hack with. You risk your privacy and your computer using one that claims to be anonymous. Having you computer become a node in a hackers bot net will result in the actions of the hacker being recorded as coming from your computer and IP address.

    The only proxy I've found to be somewhat useful because it changes IP's daily is http://www.wildtunnel.com/ It is a limited proxy and only works with a few sites. But it seems to work many times and is safe to use.

    The better approach is the Personal VPN which unblocks web sites, encrypts your entire connection for security, and doesn't get blocked. Plus it works on all web sites and with all applications including flash. http://www.surfbouncer.com./ Or you can email them at unblock@surfbouncer.com

    There are no good proxies out there. The technology is antiquated and doesn't' work well. Most are also hacker pots just waiting for unsuspecting people to use them so they can use you.
