Proxy servers let you access websites from restricted locations. They are a source to bypass secure sites from blocked locations, as they have the ability to bypass the network firewalls and filters. These proxy servers enable the users to surf the internet from blocked servers.

Proxy servers are compatible to surf through sites which have audio and video streaming platforms like Youtube. Whether you are at work, in school, university library or any other public location like a cyber café or a coffee shop, from where access of networking sites or related websites is restricted, these proxies let you surf the online networking websites like Myspace, Facebook or Hi5. These proxies are reliable and secure and to browse the net, you have to agree to accept the strict set of terms and conditions like not to access websites that contain illegal content such as ware sites, use for spamming purposes, or distributing Spy ware or any other malicious script.

The process to use these servers is very simple. You are required to sign up to be able to use these proxies. Most of these proxy websites offer services without a cost. But, some of them may ask for a small fee to enroll you with their websites. After signup, the user can type the desired URL (for example: www.myspace.com) on the main page  and all connections and traffic to and from the destination URL is redirected via the proxy, making it look as if the traffic is evolving from the main proxy , thus bypassing the domain based URL filtering blocking system.

These proxies allow users to browse through the websites like Myspace and browse through profiles, post comments, blogs and surf the sites for music. Sometimes, you may be required to use the IP address of the proxy (i.e. http://200.10.10.12), instead of the domain name, which you can retrieve by pinging the URL.

When you use a proxy server, your computer establishes connection with the proxy instead of the destination website, and thus the blocking or filtering firewall will be able to trace this connection only. Further this proxy server, which may be transparent or anonymous, will create a connection to the desired URL which you want to access such as Myspace, and retrieve that website, eliminating any trace of your computer

The number of web proxies is everyday increasing and more and more are being setup to earn revenues through advertisements. To search for proxies for websites like Myspace, you can use the search engines like Yahoo or Google. There are a number of websites offering these services and you can choose any of them as per your requirement.
