Public Proxy Servers Public Proxy Servers Public proxy servers are a good thing, for three very different reasons.
Censors come in all possible ideological persuasions.
Some want to censor sex, some politics, some religion, some entertainment, some cultural pollution. Proxy servers provide a way to circumvent them. Naturally to ensure complete protection, they have to block proxies which would bypass their blocking. If you are being blocked , I recommend you think laterally to locate proxies that your censors do not know about. Proxy portals exist where you connect and send SSL traffic to and from, while they proxy the web access.
