I've been looking for a good anonymous proxy for some time now. Mostly so I could watch streaming video of Grey's Anatomy online. But it turns out proxies have another use -- and this is protecting your privacy.
You may not realize it, but websites capture a lot of information about who's visiting them. There may be times, such as when you're surfing from work or some other registered domain, when you don't want people to be able to trace your referrer or your IP address. You should be using an anonymous proxy at times like these.
Proxy.org is a site that sends any URL you enter through an anonymous proxy, so you can surf those sites with confidence. It chooses a proxy randomly from a list of over 4000 proxies; unfortunately, quality does vary a little, so you may not be able to post to someone's blog or run scripts through the proxy you're given. In those cases, I recommend hitting the service a few times until you get a good proxy assigned to you. Or -- what the hell -- find a proxy you like and stay with it!
