What exactly is a proxy?

[Unregistered]

Hi all..

Can a proxy be used to surf the web (acces FXP's,...) anonimously?

what do u have to do to make it work?
--> Download a program from it and input an IP that u want to use as a proxy?

Do u acces the web then trough that IP instead of your own?

Can it be traced?
