How to use Proxy IP address

In this simple TUT I will be showing you how to use a proxy to become anonymous while on the web.
I will be using Firefox in this TUT, however all browsers can do this and are relatively similar.
This is a very simple method and should not be your only line of protection!

1. Go to the below site:
http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/

1.1 Select your desired needs from the various choices of types of proxies and then click on "Update Results."

1.2 You will need to Copy and Paste the IP Address and then the Port to input into your browser.






2. Configure your Internet Browser Settings
2.1 Click on the "FireFox" Tab up top.
2.2 Click on "Options" Tab.
 




3. Continuation of Configuration
3.1 Click on "Advanced" Tab.
3.2 Click on "Network" Tab.
3.3 Then click on "Settings" Tab.





4. Imputing the Proxy
4.1 Select "Manual Proxy Configuration."
4.2 In the "HTTP Proxy:" fields input your Proxy IP&Port info from the list on the above site that you C&P from.
4.3 Now select "OK" and that's it; you are now Anonymous!





5. Verifying that the Proxy is Working:
5.1 Go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ you should see the IP/Location of your proxy.
*If the proxy does not work try another from the list!*





NOTE:
- The Proxy IP/Port/Location in this TUT were just for example!
-I recommend using a paid VPN and spoofing your MAC to become better Anonymous. However for those that cannot this is for you; I suggest Chaining your proxies and also STILL spoofing your MAC addresses! To spoof your MAC go to this link below.
http://download.cnet.com/SMAC-MAC-Addres...36535.html
- For those who would rather have a proxy manager, then just go to the link below
https://www.torproject.org/
- The proxies will go down eventually so you will have to continuously update them so to speak.

Google Chrome Apps Now Available for Your PC

Up until now, Chrome's web Apps have been trapped in your browser, living with the rest of your internet like glorified tabs. Well, Google's putting an end to that today. A new breed of Chrome Apps is here, and they live on your desktop.
Like old-school Chrome Apps, these new ones can sync between devices, and hook into Chrome's new rich notification center. But unlike old-school apps, they exist in their own windows, launch right from the desktop. And most importantly, they work offline. You know, like real apps.
So far the selection is pretty limited, with only one official Google service app to speak of: Google Keep. But it's in good company with apps like Pixlr Touchup for photo editing, Pocket for reading, and freakin' Spelunky (Spelunky!!) for game-playin'. And Google's even bringing out the App launcher from Chrome OS for you to keep them all organized. This is all only on Windows and Chrome OS so far, but it's headed for Mac and Linux soon.
There's nothing new about Google Chrome powering apps with some pretty serious functionality. After all, how else would you be able to get anything done on a Chromebook? But if those apps can sneak out of the browser window and live on their own, man. They're suddenly a lot more valuable. They stop feeling like some sort of half-crippled web software. They stop being some sort of half-crippled web software.
And even though you might not want to be living in Chrome all the time, having your entire toolbox of apps tucked away in a Google account that you can sync anywhere is a dream for computer-hopping nomads. Maybe it's time to give Chrome's suite of apps a closer look.

Speed Up your Firefox Page Loding Time

# Make pages load faster

Type "about :config" in the address field.


Code:
Set the value of network.http.pipelining  ->boolean "true"
Set the value of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests -> integer 100
Set the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining  -> boolean "true"
network.http.max-connections -> integer 60
network.http.max-connections-per-server -> integer 32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy -> integer 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server -> integer 8

Now right click and select new string
Enter this string:
nglayout.initialpaint.delay -> 0

NOTE : The below settings are not tested by me. They have been, however, tested by many people with satisfactory results. I leave them up to you.

Fast Computer Fast Connection


Code:
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.


Code:
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
Fast Computer, Slow Connection
user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
Slow Computer, Fast Connection
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);
One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.

Slow Computer, Slow Connection

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user


Code:
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);
