Simplifying the Search for MySpace Proxies
With schools, workplaces and numerous other institutions increasing the sophistication of their local network filtering, a very active market in proxy servers has developed to aid users in countering restrictive filtering. For users wishing to access their favorite sites on one of these filtered networks, finding a proxy server that is fast and reliable can be time consuming (since those returned in the higher search-engine ranking positions are often overwhelmed.) Likewise, for proxy owners, free targeted promotion can be competitive with the standard popular TopSites heavily oversubscribed. The Proxy Index offers a solution for both users and owners.

A sufficiently granular structure offers proxy server owners categories to list their proxy servers as well as an opportunity to seek out proxy-related forums, templates, tips and a variety of other pertinent resources. Users seeking new can browse the alphabetic substructure to categories, or head straight for the new links page for the latest proxy server additions on the new links page.
Whether you are a proxy owner or a proxy user, The Proxy Index offers a first-class resource for getting the most out of proxies.
