Choosing best suit Proxy server

:)Hi Yes It's me again Delprox webmaster of DelProx.blogspot.com Today I'll tell you about How to choose Proxy Server to match your need?

  1. Speed: Thing everyone need from every proxy server and exactly all internet usage is Speed of website. This can easily measure by test-drive to the frequency visited web or favorite program to find what is best for you. Also there are many of 3rd party to meter the speed of website Ex. Host-tracker.com that offer the service to check any website speed from many location around the world.
  2. Anonymity: Do you want to be Anonymous to surf the net, to use msn and to chat on IRC? If yes Anonymous Proxy, Distorting Proxy and High Anonymity Proxy is your choice because all of them don't reveal your IP address to the destination. Unlike Transparent Proxy that will show your original IP Address to your destination sites or servers
  3. Internet application you want to use. If you only use web browser like Internet explorer or firefox you can use any type of proxy because almost all firewall and gateway will enable http port. But if you tend to use other application like IRC , msn or other special internet program such as online game you may need SOCKS (SOCKetS) proxy. But good News many new internet application have SOCKS proxy Ability bundled with them (msn V6.0 or later and many new online games) this mean you can use http proxy for that application too. But some applications that not work try SOCKS Proxy.
  4. SSL Support ability: this is the standard of security on the internet. It's designed for safety of your entered information. Then many of websites use this to ensure that no one can view your password or credit card information. And if you try to access that websites, Hotmail, Gmail.com, and Any Shopping website like amazon and paypal you must use proxy server that provided SSL support
  5. Country of server and URL of proxy server also necessary when your firewall allow you to access only local websites. Or some may block any URL that content word " proxy or sex or mp3 so in some case many Proxies does not work.

And others factors included Server Location, Proxy Program used by each server or popularity of proxy will affect to speed and ability of proxy above. To choose best suit proxy server it's depended on speed form your location and your using-style. :o
