What is a Proxy Server?

Proxy is an usual server with some special software. It is used for anonymous surfing. Proxy is a kind of buffer/firewall between your computer and the Internet resources you are accessing (WWW, FTP sites, etc.).

But all free things in our World are "short-living". And time-by-time free proxy owners close their servers or make password protection. This is why average proxy life period is about 1-2 months. And you need to refresh your proxy lists urgent.
