The Wrong Advices

If you’re at work or school and find yourself behind a firewall that blocks access to certain websites (Facebook, Myspace, Digg, etc) you can usually get around the restriction by using a proxy server.

By using a proxy server you are able to access blocked websites indirectly - fooling any filters which might be keeping you out.

There are literally tens of thousands of proxy servers scattered across the web so you won’t be starved for choice. The best place to get started is Proxy.org which contains a large list of web based proxies. If you find that the proxy you are using has been blocked then you can just go back and find another one.
