Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an anonymous proxy so important?
Many web sites are harmful and attempt to log your IP address for improper use. Some spyware applications and web sites with harmful code sometimes need your personal IP address in order to do their dirty work. An anonymous proxy hides this information from the web sites you visit. Just type an address in the form above this paragraph and click Browse and you will see the page load. Any links you click from there will also be secure. There will also be a new form located at the top of the page. Use that form to continue to surf the web anonymously.
What is an IP address?
An IP address is your unique identification on the Internet. Every computer or shared network that goes on-line has to have a unique one. Think of it as your house address being logged everywhere you go. To avoid certain web-based attacks that require this info to be known, it is suggested that web sites are viewed through an anonymous proxy to hide your IP address.
Why was this created?
Because everyone has the right to anonymity and protection from digital intruders.
Should I make ProxMe.net my start page?
It may be a good idea to bookmark this page (by pressing ctrl+d on your keyboard) for future use. It would be an even better idea to make us your browser start page. This way you can protect yourself every time you surf.
Why do some web pages give JavaScript errors?
This is because VectroProxy blocks JavaScript for your safety. To enable this feature, un-check the 'Remove Scripts' box while viewing the page and then click the "Browse!*" button. For the best security, keep blocking enabled when you can.
Why don't YouTube videos and MySpace work?
Most web-based proxies do not have this functionality, even when they claim to. VectroProxy will sometimes play YouTube videos but not always. Make sure you uncheck the box that says 'Remove Scripts' before trying to view a video. Thumbnails may be broken, but the videos still play. Some but not all video sites will not work with our free service. To unblock YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and other video sites for good with the ability to download large files and use all of their features such as logging in and posting comments, you will need to use a VPN.
