In very basic layman's terms, think of a proxy as a remote computer location that allows a user to visit and then redirect to a new destination using a different and usually anonymous ip address. Imagine some University servers or public libraries that allow users to log in remotely to access their services. Once a remote client logs in, they can navigate to a new destination from the proxy location.

There are hundreds if not thousand of sites online that provide a proxy service. These are often based on scripts that allow a user to surf anonymously if they so desire; unfortunately the vast majority of these sites include adware, strip out content or replace content with their own. Using these public free proxies is slow, inefficient and unsecured.

Why would someone want to use a proxy? Individuals may find the need to use a proxy to perform website evaluations from a remote location. It is obviously inefficient to physically travel to a remote location simply to evaluate a website; a proxy server allows a user to do this effectively from their own location.

The Automatic Browser Robot screens proxy locations and only uses those that are anonymous and live. That is it finds proxies that are secure (your original ip cannot be traced and the throughput allows for fast navigation). These types of proxies are difficult to find and even with paid proxy services companies, the quality is often very low. The vast majority of free proxy location are useless since the owner is simply using them to force adware into the users browser; they are very slow or sometimes simply do not work at all. Free proxy sites are also frequently transparent so that the users original ip address can be easily traced.

The Automatic Browser Robot is the only solution that provides full anonymous browsing in a high speed automated solution. It also incorporates a variety of useful options and tools for url testing and evaluation.
