Proxies

1. what do i know about the topic?
i know absolutely nothing about this topic. i don't even know the definition of proxies or what the name means.

2. wonders and questions about the topic
1. what is the definition of the word proxies, what does the word mean?
2. what does proxies have to do with computers and technology?
3. is "proxies" a good or a bad thing?

3. links and useful information about the topic
1. http://www.getproxies.net/
this link tells me absolutely everything i need to now about proxies. it tells me all the types of categories of proxies there are, and gives me articles about proxies. it tells me what a proxy is, about unblocking websites, and anonymous web surfing. it also gives me proxy sites which are really useful.

2. http://proxy.org/
this link pretty much tells me what i can do with a proxy. it talks about security and the rights of privacy and the right to anonymity. there are a lot of working proxies they give you that can help you.

3. http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/
this link above is a free public proxy list for everyone to use. they also give you the anonymity level of countries ando how they use it. it is really cool to see.

4. what i learned about the topic

  • proxies facilitate the access to content on the web
  • keep computers and yourself anonymous 
  • used for security reasons
  • speed up access to resources
  • using caching web pages from a web server
  • also used to save bandwidth
  • prevent the download of the same thing many times
  • what types of proxies there are 
  • to access prohibited websites/ unblocking websites
  • to get around a content filter
5. connects/relates to real life
this connects and relates to my real life because know i know how to become anonymous in the web so that they can't track me or something. it is also very useful to me since it helps me access blocked and prohibited websites and makes me use them. i also think proxies help you with being safe and the security you have when you are surfing the internet. 

6. questions i still have 
which are the proxies that use the less amount of bandwith?
what are the dangers of using a proxy? 
are legal issues related with using a proxy?
