2002,
That was a poke at Super Moderator for some help, not aimed at you.

"I have surfed to [url]http://safesurf.cjb.net[/url] , my question is could we use the proxy service wihout prior to asking the proxy service provider permission first?"

*********ly one should ask proxy before using but I don't know anybody who does.

"May I know why the proxies service provider provide the proxy service? What do they gain from this?"

No permission is required from proxy service like [url]http://www.megaproxy.com/[/url] . They gain ad exposures, can ***** you, read your Web based email, etc...

A proxy is another computer that you go through to connect to Internet. Internet sees only proxy IP if proxy is anonymous. Any proxy you use can monitor all your traffic flowing through it. Some have no ulterior motives, others are set up for surveillance. S***est you read proxy threads in this forum.

"Thank you.

p.s:// hope these questions don't sound silly, I am newbie."

I'm a newbie too- there is so much to learn...
