Recently, there was an urgent need to go to one completely official site, which, as it turns out, is accessible only from the United States. It was immediately decided to use a web proxy as the easiest and fastest way to become an American, at least in the virtual space.
To solve this problem, the web proxy HideMyAss.com was selected . It is about him that will be discussed in our article, but first, let's say a few words about what such services are in general.
What is web proxy support analyst job description
A web proxy is a web application deployed on a web server that allows its users to load websites not from their own IP, but from the IP address of this server. Everyone, using such services, pursues their own goals, but, as a rule, the following motives are hits:
desire to keep secret your real IP address;
the need to access websites that are closed for viewing by users of a given country.
According to the principle of operation, all web proxies are similar to each other: the user visits the application site, enters the required site address and activates the transition. The requested resource opens directly in the same window. Such applications differ, as a rule, in additional parameters: the geographic location of the server, Flash support and others like them.
Anonymity from HideMyAss!
HideMyAss.com is a universal service that provides not only web proxies, but also anonymous mail, anonymous file storage, and a list of proxy servers. Initially, it was included in the draft of the note “ Burn after reading. Overview of disposable mail services ”, which described anonymous mail services. Subsequently, he had to be excluded, since he completely refused to understand Russian, and for a note about the web proxy HideMyAss.com came up just right.
There is nothing difficult in using the service. It is enough to go to HideMyAss.com , enter the site address in the appropriate field (for example: http://crashinformationky.org/KCAP/Public/Home.aspx) and click the "Hide My Ass!" Button, the site will open in the same tab. File uploads are supported and the following settings are available.
Enabling SSL support.
Selecting the geographic location of the server: USA, UK and Holland.
Selecting the "Encrypted" mode. Its essence lies in the fact that the viewed link becomes inaccessible from the history of the browser after it is closed.
Enabling / disabling Javascript and Flash support.
The service also allows you to change the server host country and IP address on the fly. To do this, in the address bar of the browser (for example: N.hidemyass.com/IP-X/link), you must change the first number (N) and the number (X) after "IP-". The first changes the country, and the second changes the IP address. Countries are numbered in the following order from 1 to 4 - these are servers in the USA (Chicago), and from 5 to 7 - servers in Europe (5 and 6 - UK, and 7 - Holland).
For the convenience of using this web proxy, you can install extensions for Chrome and Firefox .
