Wondering whether you can trust the proxy service not to
use your IP and other info for nefarious purposes? The truth
is that there??™s no reason to trust an anonymous proxy any
more than the sites from which you??™re hiding. For practical
purposes, you should only use one of these proxies when
you specifically need to surf anonymously, and avoid logging
in to your bank??™s web site while connected to a proxy.
If you??™re using Internet Explorer, open the Tools drop-down, select Internet
Options, choose the Connections tab, and click LAN Settings. Turn on the
Use a proxy server for your LAN option, and then paste (press Ctrl-V) the
IP address you got at proxy4free.com into the Address field. Type the port
number (usually 80 or 8080) into the Port field, and click OK when you??™re
done.

reduce the number of trips you make to Internet Explorer??™s
