taking advantage of proxies

So say I want to hide behind a proxy how would I go about doing so, something like internet anonym?

download firefox - install proxy extension - find a decent working proxy

way ahead of u with the firefox extension. But what if I wanted a proxy for more than firefox?

Most internet programs have the ability to use proxies, u just enter the same details you put into firefox into the other program. Make sure its the correct type, and that u set the correct port etc.

if you need an extensive list of proxies a good site is http://www.digitalcybersoft.com/proxylist.

be aware that most of the proxiers out there will only proxy HTTP connections. if you need to proxy any other type of connection, you'll need to find a specific proxy.
