Thanks this seems to work however it DISCONNECTS every 10 minutes if idle to reveal ones Isp address are there any software solutions to this?
Everytime one boots up you have to remember to connect to the Service well this is not a major problem for me.
Can these Proxies really be trusted with ones private data?

Server List
For your convenience here is a list of vpn servers for you to choose from.
If you haven't completed one of our setup procedures, be sure to review instructions for one of the setup options here before proceeding.
If you are using our SSH tunnel, you can launch our SSH Proxy Tunnel right from our website instead of downloading the setup files! It uses SSH over port 80 so you should be able to use it in almost any environment. Click on the server name below to launch it now ! Choose RUN when prompted.
Check our setup page for PRO setup options.

* Four factors impact performance.
Bandwidth - which is the raw amount of data that can be transferred per second. Using a plumbing analogy, this is how fat (thick) the pipe is.
Latency - which is how long it takes for a packet to travel between it's source and destination. Using a plumbing analogy, this is how long it takes for the hot water to go from your hot water heater to your faucet when you turn the hot water tap on.
Load - which is the amount of load other users are putting on the server.
Network Congestion - how well packets flow from your computer to the server.
The above test combines a mixture of all 4 in its results. The test is not meant to give an accurate test but can give you an idea of which server might serve you best. You may want to reload this page a few times

I forgot to mention I am on broadband.
The Proxy is programmed to cut every 10 minutes once it senses inactivity.
Reasons Well I was hacked before even my ISP denied it was possible(lying
) but I never gave this person my name and address
I know there be some reduction in speed but with https://www.findnot.com they were intermittent,problematic and generally appauling .
cheapest service about 12.00 Usdollars per month or £7.00 UK sterling
Broadband Pro Speed 40:00Usdollars per month a lousy service.
Thanks,

it's not, either the OP is delusioned, misguided, of fibbing.
as I understand it, anonymous proxies etc are used to either bypass controls set by sysmanagers/isps, or to carry out activity generally of an illegal/immoral nature.
best of mit is, those whose ISPs are going to phorm them, no amount of vpn tunneling etc will keep the data 'safe'.
going by "I was hacked before even my ISP denied it was possible(lying
)" it may be that OP downloaded a keylogger etc.., in which case better basic security is the correct solution Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0 -

None. Those that there are are very slow and I'd question their honesty. You don't know if they're data trawling.0 -

What does "Phorm" mean track? No it actually happened you will have to take my word on it.
No keylogger was downloaded.

What you mean by data trawling.
I have seen videos on YouTube that said even Google was a Defense Funded Project
collecting Data.
I know you cannot believe everything you read.

Where this happened was using a Chat Program called Mirc.co.uk
using my original Isp address I don't think they allow Proxies to connect now.
anyway I hardly ever use this now as its so so boring.
