    Question Anonymous Surfing and bypass firewall suggestion

    Hi,
    I'm looking for proxy services to
    (1) bypass the firewall from my company to block ports like 2082/2083 for cpanel.
    (2) added value: anonymous surfing to protect me online.

    I have 4 paid services to choice,
    www.orangatango.com (7-day trial), USD$3.95/m or $39.95/y
    www.anonymizer.com , $9.95/3m, or $29.95/y
    idzap.com (award from PC-Mag) $15/3m, or $50/y
    the-cloak.com $5/2m, limited 200MB transfer

    Any suggestion to the above services, or other recommendations?
    Sometimes, I will lognin to my cpanel thru the proxy, so good reputation (privacy) is required.

    Regards,

    Use your own - try CGIProxy - it's good for accessing CPanel and provides anonymonity too.
    Lawnmower for hire - enquire within

    Thanks, I think I will use the-cloak or idzap to bypass the firewall
    But most CGIProxy scripts are banned, like.

    I signed up the-cloak.com & idzap.com paid serves, and share my experiences with WHT members.

    The-cloak.com service is very good, no problems to access CPanel and Ensim Pro. Access most websites are okay, only 2 times have troubles to connect via https, and once to access webhostingtalk.com just because WHT output HTML set BASE HREF to webhostingtalk.com without the tailing slash /.
    I emailed them and got replies within 12~24 hours, all problems are answered and solved politely.

    I also signup with idzap.com 'secure browse'.
    Only has troubles to access WHT, when I click the link to each forum, IE fall into an infinite loop, never reach the destination page.
    I emailed idzap support for weeks, no reply.
    No problems to access other websites and CP at non-http-port.

    The-cloak allow non-secure (http) connection, but idzap force you to use secure connection(https).


    Pros
    the-cloak:
    server located in EV1 network, fast access to WHT.
    Friendly support.
    No problems to access to CPanel/ENsim Pro CP.
    No problems to access most websites.
    Online signup with iBill and instant activation.

    idzap:
    No transfer limit. Low price.
    URLs are encrypted.


    Cons
    the-cloak:
    PIN code limited to 60 days and 300MB transfer for USD$5.
    (Within 60 days, I used 70% of bandwidth)
    Self-signed Certificate, cuase IE warning.
    URLs are not encrypted, use SSL to protect.

    idzap:
    no support.
    online signup but not instant activation, have to wait 1~2 days.


    If you have lots data to download, and no special-HTML-coded websites to access, you can use idzap.
    If you just browse websites, no huge data to d/l, the-cloak is better choice with true support you can reply on.
    Based on my surfing, I feel that the-cloak has faster page loading than idzap, no exact number or d/l tests.
    If you have to use proxy to access something important and password required, please be very very carefully.
    You'd better read their privacy policy and ToS.

    I will try www.anonymizer.com after membership of idzap expire.

    My membership of anonymizer.com will expire in 14 days.
    I purchase "the-cloak.com" services because,
    (1) the-cloak's speed is fast overall.
    (2) I still experienced BLANK pages via anonymizer's proxy in my daily browsing for very ver few pages.
    (3) you can buy the-cloak services by 2Checkout.
    If you're not heavy user, then a new yearly plan is cost-effective solution, USD$10 for 500MB xfer.
    (4) Support, Wal Schmidt from the-cloak alyaws solved my problems within 12 hours.

    Rank: the-cloak, anonymizer, then idzap.
    Period.

    I've had really good experiences with Proxify.com

    It's free with some restrictions or $20 per year for premium access which is cheaper than the others already mentioned.
