More on using CGI proxy

Learn about cgi proxy basics.

Start using cgi proxy

Using CGI proxy does not require changing browser settings. Using CGI proxy requires, first, opening the CGI proxy web page in a browser. Next, enter a required URL, into the address field. Finally, press the "Go" button, or "Enter".

The disadvantages of CGI proxies are the additional advertising. Often, this adds a CGI proxy itself. Often, a CGI proxy simply exists for advertisings.

There is limited FTP support (not always supported). Sometimes, a CGI proxy does not support images.

It is possible to install a CGI proxy in a web browser. However, this is the exception, rather than a rule.

CGI Proxy Chaining.

Creating a chain of free web anonymizers (CGI proxy) is not difficult. Enter the URL of one CGI proxy in the address field of another CGI proxy. If you continue this, it is possible to use a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and so on. In the last proxy, enter the URL of the desired web page. You are now substantially anonymized.

Combine CGI proxies with other types of proxy servers (HTTP, SOCKS). Be sure they are the last ones in the chain.

Organize them this way:

SOCKS proxy > > > > HTTP proxy > > > > CGI proxy

HTTP proxy > > > > CGI proxy

SOCKS proxy > > > > CGI proxy

And you can not do so:

CGI proxy > > > > SOCKS proxy

SOCKS proxy > > > > CGI proxy > > > > HTTP proxy

CGI proxy > > > > HTTP proxy

Furthermore, at the end of this chain, it possible to create one more chain - using CGI proxies!
