Does anyone do this, or know how to do this? I want to start surfing through a proxy server, to that I can remain anonymous on the web 8)

Bringing this thread back from the dead.

Yes, it can be done. You have to find a reliable, fast public proxy server, and you just change the connection settings in your browser. Most servers I found are slow, have filters and are not worth using. They block certain content and so on ...

Well first thing’s first… You need to find a program to surf through proxies.  If you use Firefox as your browser, you could use a tool bar like Switch Proxie which can be found here:

If you arent, you could use a program such as Invisible Browsing which can be found here:

Next, you need the find a fast, reliable proxie which is probably the toughest part of it.  I havent been able to find a real fast proxy.  Most of the proxies you can download through the automated lists are crap.  Just google it and hope you find something worthwhile.
