Using your new proxy connection, visit one of those sites that tell you about your IP address. It might tell you you're now in China.
Proxies allow users to make indirect network connections to other computer network services. [1] Proxy lists include the IP addresses of computers hosting open proxy servers, meaning that these proxy servers are available to anyone on the internet. Proxy lists are often organized by the various proxy protocols the servers use. Many proxy lists ...
It accesses the Internet on the user's behalf, protecting personal information of the user by hiding the client computer's identifying information such as IP addresses.

An open proxy forwarding requests from and to anywhere on the Internet. An open proxy is a type of proxy server that is accessible by any Internet user.. Generally, a proxy server only allows users within a network group (i.e. a closed proxy) to store and forward Internet services such as DNS or web pages to reduce and control the bandwidth used by the group.
Although this type of server can be discovered easily, it can be beneficial for some users as it hides the originating IP address. Transparent proxy: This server not only identifies itself as a proxy server, but with the support of HTTP header fields such as X-Forwarded-For, the originating IP address can be retrieved as well.

SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server. SOCKS5 optionally provides authentication so only authorized users may access a server. Practically, a SOCKS server proxies TCP connections to an arbitrary IP address, and provides a means for UDP packets to be forwarded.
The access router uses proxy ARP to make the dial-up node present in the subnet without being wired into the Ethernet: the access router 'publishes' its own MAC address for 192.168.0.254. Now, when another node wired into the Ethernet wants to talk to the dial-up node, it will ask on the network for the MAC address of 192.168.0.254 and find the ...
