Proxy sites are needed by every one who uses a computer in the workplace or even in educational places such as schools and colleges. The vast majority of people who use computers in this places can not visit a huge percentage of the Internet. This is because of a practise called content filtering using blacklists and also whitelists.

When you attempt to visit your most popular website such as youtube, meebo, or indeed myspace you are often greeted with a content restriction page. For most people this will be tagged with "websense". Websense is one of many web content filtering compaines. What they do is very important. They visit most of the websites on the planet and place them into categories and that is it.

The place you are using the Internet from then decides what they deem is "safe" or "acceptable" for you to look at and when you request a webpage it is diverted through an internal proxy server which then checks if the webpage matches any rules. If it does match a rule, you are prevented from seeing the page.

Just like websense can filter content by using proxy servers, we can bypass websense by using proxy sites. Proxy sites act just like a proxy server but only they can be accessed from your web browser directly. Upon visiting a proxy site you will be greeted with a simple address (or URL) form/bar. Simply enter the website that you wish to visit and the proxy site will request that page for you and simply pass it back to you.

That all sorts great but as you would expect, The filtering companies also filter out web proxy sites! What that means is you need to have a fresh list of proxy sites at your disposal. One such site which offers a list of proxy sites is theproxyfinder.com

The chances are theproxyfinder.com will not be accessible to you either and this is where modern day technology comes into play. Simply take any mobile phone which was released in the past 9 years and access the mobile internet and visit the page! This way, you bypass all content filtering and are able to get the newest proxy site addresses.

Its easy when you know how.
