cyberciti.biz— Main benefit of setting transparent proxy is you do not have to setup individual browsers to work with proxies.

eh, i used a proxy a while back when i didnt have an ap, but it proved to be a pain in the butt. i had to reconfigure it everytime the servers ip changed. i hope to never use a proxy again.
Who knows if a proxy is secure or safe. Even if the proxy itself isn't logging all it's own traffic, the network above it or the machine it is on can be insecure. The only way I trust anything is if I've set it up myself (or at the very least, I know the person running the proxy server), proxies on the web can be used for password or even identity harvesting schemes. Be careful out there!There are a dime a dozen phproxy & cgi proxies out there. The real site to goto for browser based proxies isn't some self sponsored plug, but goto:www.proxy.orgThey maintain a rapidly updated list of browser based proxies to use. (as I said I don't trust these personally, and would rather run my own using squid for more secure browsing).
Erm, a web-based proxy, and something like Squid are totally different things.. Running though a local proxy gives absolutely no anonymity (It's just rerouting any requests it gets back though your connection)The web-based proxies, or ones hosted on remote computers don't give anonymity, they just make it seem like the connections are coming from a IP that isn't yours (So it can be hard to trace back to you)..As stated, the reason proxies lie Squid are generally use caching, so you don't have to constantly download the same websites/images, rather store them temporarily, and send them over the local-network (smaller bandwidth useage)- Ben
If you are looking for a fresh high speed web-proxy to access blocked sites at work and school or you just want to surf the web anonymously you should try <a class="user" href="http://www.browsejunk.com">http://www.browsejunk.com</a> this web-proxy is brand new and great for streaming vidoes!!!

An Amnesty campaign that allows users to republish and spread sites that are being repressed on their own sites. You can get a badge that will dynamically show different excerpts from censored sites around the world and link back to irrepressible.info where you can learn more about the site in question and the campaign itself.<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/technology/Republish_censored_sites_on_your_site">http://digg.com/technology/Republish_censored_sites_on_your_site</a>

@AdamJones, yes but then the squid proxy must be setup on each client (in the web browser) and it's not transparent anymore.
