Virtual-Browser.com – Browse safely & anonymously!
“Virtual-Browser is a web-based anonymous proxy service which allows anyone to surf the Web privately and securely. Unlike other proxies, there is no software to install or complicated instructions to follow. Just enter a URL (website address) in the form above. Through Virtual-Browser, you can use websites but they cannot uniquely identify or track you. Virtual-Browser hides your real IP address and our encrypted connection (rotate 13/base 64) prevents monitoring of your network traffic. Once using Proxify, you can surf normally and forget that it is there, protecting you.”
