    Hi Meghan,

    Thanks for sharing. This is very useful. But Ixquick won't support JavaScript in proxy browsing. You can not use any forms and login authentications. So Gmail and other services won't work.

    But I suggest to use Glype powered proxies. Use this http://dongana.com for All features to hide your IP and it is powered by Glype. I'm using this site for downloading rapid share files.

    Good article!

    I'm using http://www.vpntunnel.se/en/ to surf anonymous and encrypted. It works very well and I only pay €5 for one month with unlimited bandwidth.
