Thanks for your question! First of all I will suggest you to read very short and easy to understand article about proxy types: What is an anonymous proxy server? Proxy types: transparent, anonymous or elite. If you want to get access to blocked web site and in addition hide your real IP address then you should use only anonymous or elite proxy servers.

To say long story short, the transparent proxy servers do not hide your IP, that's why they are called transparent. The same like you, many users may think that if proxy cannot hide your IP they are useless. The point is that ANY working proxy server could be used for getting access to blocked web site (youtube.com, facebook.com and many others). Also please take in an account that stable and fast transparent proxy could be found easier than the same quality anonymous or elite proxy. So what is the reason to use slower anonymous or elite proxy servers if you do NOT need to hide your IP and instead you only need to get access to blocked web site - youtube.com?

As simple as that. If you have any other question, please never hesitate to ask

OK, please try those proxy servers, they are all anonymous or elite, with min 10 days uptime and 20kb speed.

If you have no idea how to setup proxy in browser then I will suggest you to setup Premium Proxy Switcher for Firefox

That's right, if you cannot access some web site you can use proxy servers to open it. All you need is high quality proxy server. If you have no idea how to setup it in browser, please check our forum, we have very easy to understand step by step instructions. If you want I could provide you with some sample proxy servers from our VIP zone, so you will check how it works. Please let me know if you want to try.

Thanks for your report, we will study it and fix that bug within couple of days. It is really hard to keep addon up to date, since Mozilla creates new version of Firefox faster than you can have your addon approved by their staff.

Currently we have finished our stand alone Premium Proxy Switcher Portable for all 5 browsers. In addition it includes local proxy checker with many useful features. Also we added proxy chain support for better security + for those users who are forced to use local proxy server (there are no standard way to use proxy for them). If you are interested please let us know and we will send you beta version of that program.

Waiting for your reply

p.s. Officially the program should be available at premiumproxyswitcher.com web site several weeks ago but the delay was caused by many beta testers who asked us to add proxy checking  (at first it should come with second version), nice design and other nessesary options. If you are interested, here is the screenshots:

Hello,

Could you please tell us what do you meant by saying 'block admin'. Do you want to block some web sites for admin in return for his/her restriction policy?

I am sure we could somehow help you but we need a bit more information.

With best regards

It ok I think it is much better if you will manage to contact us via ICQ or Live Chat so we will have direct conversation. It is hard to say what you have done wrong based on just the information you provide us. Also we need to test that proxy from our side to make sure that there are nothing wrong with proxy by its own.

BTW you still did not answer all questions, did you manage to open some other web site with that proxy server and what kind of error you are getting when you are trying to open facebook or any other web site?

Waiting for your reply

Ok, to be sure that you are setup proxy server correctly I will suggest you to use Premium Proxy Switcher addon for Firefox: http://freeproxylist.org/en/premium-proxy-switcher.htm

After that select all transparent proxy servers from our web site (we have article how to generate download link) and add all these proxy servers to PPS addon ('manage proxy server' menu item). Later that try to select US proxy (they are the best based on our experience) if there will be any and after PPS addon will setup that proxy (it will take a second) you should be able to access blocked web site.

Case you will experience the same problem again try to contact us via ICQ or Live chat, I am sure we could find what kind of mistake you are making. Believe us - there are not way to block access to any web site! Unblocking a web site is just about how much user wants to get access and nothing more

Oh I see... please answer to following questions:

1) Are you sure that you have setup proxy server in your browser correctly?
2) Which proxy servers you have tried to use?
3) Did you try to open some other web site, for example yahoo.com with that proxy server and what was the result?

Could you please tell us a bit more about your problem, I am sure we could find a solution.

Waiting for your reply

If you have not received password you have to follow instructions (quatation from subscription page):


As for recovery tool it is located on the same 'payment' page but on the right side: VIP password recovery tool

Also you can contact us by Live Chat, online web form, ICQ or email.

Отличны вопрос и вы абсолютно правы на счет соксов. Мы давно уже это заметили и по началу нам даже казалось что дело в самих соксах. Но с Firefox-ом мы нашли решение. Дело в том что ему нужна как бы "толчок" как с старыми машинами Сейчас поясню о чем я:

Когда вы пропишите сокс в настройках Firefox-а вам надо обаятельно удалить все записи для HTTP прокси, что бы поля были пустые. После когда вы сделаете первый запрос, весь браузер (проводник) зависнет, но это нормально. Ждите порядка 20 секунд и после вы получите вашу страницу... да я знаю что в подумали: неужели придется ждать по 20 сек. при каждом запросе?. Конечно же нет, после первого запроса, сокс уже начинает нормально работать и вы открываете страницы очень быстро.

Также обращу ваше внимание на тот факт что не стоит отключать Firefox пока длиться эти 20 секунд "зависания", вы то его отключите но он останется запущенным в памяти и вам уже не удастся запустить его повторно. Единственное решение это открыть Диспетчер задач и убить процесс firefox вручную или перезагрузить ПК.

Мы уже завершили работу над Premium Proxy Switcher portable который помогает управлять прокси серверами и сразу после него запустим аналогичный но для соксов. Если делать тунелирование через стороннюю программу то все браузера (проводники) работают без проблем.

Надеюсь я хоть как то смог помочь в решении вашей проблемы

Доброе время суток,

Вопрос вы задали как раз в нужном разделе. Вообще то найти прокси для определенной страны очень сложно, особенно если это не США, Великобритания, Германия, Китай и т.д. Дело в том что допустим если вам нужны прокси для Франции - найти такие очень сложно, почему? Если вы попробуете найти дата центры которые предоставляют хостинг (сервера) в Франции вы обнаружите что таких провайдером очень мало, на столько мало что их можно сосчитать по пальцам К примеру мы знаем всего 3-4 провайдера которые расположены в Париже (я уже не буду говорить о их завыщенных ценах). Соответственно количество прокси серверов для Франции почти нулевое... когда как для США (наверно 70% дата цнетров находится именно в США) их очень много.

По этому если нужны прокси определенной страны то как минимум их надо искать в нашей платной зоне. Даже не имея ВИП доступа вы можете проверить что есть на данный момент в нашей базе, для этого достаточно отфильтровать прокси по стране, в результат поиска будут включены и платные прокси, разве что у них будет скрыт ИП.

В вашем же случае мы сделаем для вас исключение, постучать нам в аську (277-767) и мы дадим вам бесплатно белорусских прокси из нашей платной ВИП зоны

Если у вас будут доп. вопросы то пишите

First of all thank you very much for your post. Could you please tell us a bit more what do you mean proxy servers are not updatable? We do proxy check evey 30 sec and our list is updated every one minute You can see that by your own if you will pay attention to Last Check Time value. Even more, if you will check real time stats for last 24 hours you will see that we have 25.000-40.000 different working proxy server just during 24 hours!!!

Actually started from the first day when we launched Premium Proxy Switcher as Firefox addon we had no intention to develop it according Firefox versions. The matter is that Firefox gets its new versions very fast and thus with every new version already coded add-on won’t work in no way. And to be honest  re-coding addon every three-four months is too complicated and too expensive since this addon is free and almost brings no money.

The second problem why we had no plans in developing Premium Proxy Switcher for Firefox 4.0 and so on is that, that we are too sized by Firefox in coding. This means that though we want to add more features to our add-on Firefox by its own doesn’t allow to do so according their safety rules. For example with our add-on, there two options to upload proxies. From our websites as VIP member and as a regular FREE user. Those ones who has VIP code have more options when uploading proxies to our Premium Proxy Switcher. They can upload proxies under several very useful options like speed, uptime, ping and so on, while free users can’t use these options. We wanted to add proxy check engine to our add-on so our VIP members and FREE users would have equal rights(they would have the ability to use the same options, since checking proxies on user side would give almost the whole required information for sorting them). But here came the problem, according to Firefox security rules we CAN’T add proxy checking engine to our add-on. We tried to talk to many people from Firefox support team, trying to explain the situation but without no result. We weren’t allowed to add proxy checking engine to our add-on. Though if there would be such engine it would be a great chance for our FREE users of our Premium Proxy Switcher.

Also, after we launched Premium Proxy Switcher as Firefox add-on we got thousands request to develop the same style add-on for the rest of popular browsers. We could do and we wanted to do, but from the other hand it comes too complicated to re-write add-on with every new Firefox version plus write and re-write our add-on for other web browsers, so almost 6 months ago we made a decision which will make happy all our PAID and FREE users. We started to write absolutely stand alone proxy switcher which will work with ANY web browser and which will give absolutely equal rights to PAID and FREE users. Plus, we took into account many request regarding options which should our proxy switcher, so at the end, it will be SUPER Premium Proxy Switcher Btw, if you have any request, or you need any special option, please let us know.

As for day when our brand new Premium Proxy Switcher will be launched(the name will stay the same), it was already ready by the end of February but he came our holiday time and all our team went out. I’m sorry to inform you about this, and make you wait for this super update. But when we are back from holiday, maximum one week(beginning of April) you can enjoy absolutely renewed and absolutely independed version our Premium Proxy Switcher. It will work with any browser and it doesn’t matter what version of browser you have. It will be the most magnificent product we ever issued!

Btw, don’t forget to check the option of buying proxies through Premium Proxy Switcher that time since the price will be extremely low to make you even more happier! Sorry for advertising

Thanks for your post but we rarely see any message from users at our forums. We already answered most frequently asked questions within our articles. They are simple and anyone, even a newbie could understand them.
 
As for your question, did you noticed that all web sites like hotmail, yahoo, google are using SSL protocol? I mean if you try to access mail box you will need proxy server which support https:// like URLs. Could you please tell us a bit more what filter options did you select at our web site?

BTW we are working to make proxy filter at our web site simpler because the one we have right now is very flexible for pro web masters but at the same time very complicated for regular user users. Another problem is that nobody reads instructions at the end of the page or hints Time interval and uptime is the key to your success.
 
Could you please tell us a bit more information for what do you need them and I am sure we will find some solution for your particular case.

p.s. could you please also confirm that you are our VIP member or do you use free proxy servers from our web site?

Вы уверены что следовали точно инструкции? Также мы разрабатываем новый продукт который во много раз облегчит вам доступ к сайтам и будет работать во много раз быстрей других анонимайзеров да и в несколько раз быстрей даже нашего Если вас интересует, мы можем вам предоставить бета версию для тестирования. Пожалуйста свяжитесь с нами по средствам ICQ или почты.

Thunder is absolutely right, Premium Proxy Switcher works only for Firefox but we are currently working on new version of Premium Proxy Switcher which will work for any browser.

Thank you very much for shareing yoru ideas with us. Let me explain form far end... as you know currently we have over 4000 differnt working proxy servers for last 5 hours. All this proxy servers are availabe for download. Many users used to download all this proxy servers and use them in 100-200 threads. That in turn causes high load and fast proxy death... So once we decided to reduce download proxy list from 4000 to just 200. You will not believe but too mnay VIP members start complain about it. We kept this limitation for 2-3 days and finally we remove it...

As an alternative I could tell you that fastproxyservers.org (our partner project) did everything even better. When you buy SOCKS proxy list, you buy certain amount... they have something like 2000 working SOCKS proxy list at any time but what they did? They fairly split that list among their clients...

Just imagine if they have 20 clients and each should have 200 SOCKS severs then they will split 2000 proxy severs among them and each of them will have their own unique list!

Even more, as you know during 24 hours the list is changed so the user could get some new SOCKS proxy servers. To solve that problem they keep history which proxy servers user already saw and if it is alive then first of all they will give it to him and after fill the necessary amount with random one from the remaining list.

We could implement the same logic for our clients but we are sure nobody will like it I could suggest you to check their SOCKS list, they have free demo SOCKS proxy servers on their main page (update very one minute) may be you will like it more.

p.s. we are thinking about making 20-30 very high speed proxy servers private and available to download only from web page (for those, who used proxy servers for browsing).
