How to Get Dutch Proxy?

Question: How to Get Dutch Proxy?

I want to change my IP address every time I connect to the Internet for work security reasons. But the connection has to made from Holland.

I have heard, that the best way to do it, is to use a proxy but the question is how do i do that? and from where do i get a list of proxies? Specifically dutch proxy?

I hope you can help me.

Answer: It’s hard to find dutch proxy. However you can get some free proxy from us and use the free software Elite Proxy Switcher (EPS) to test the proxies. After checking the proxy list, just double a working proxy in EPS to set it active for your browser (IE, Chrome or Firefox).

If you need the advanced function such as filtering dutch proxy from a proxy list, you can try the professional edition of Elite Proxy Switcher. However the free edition is usually enough for most users.

You can also buy proxy list from us to get more working dutch proxies.

Is it illegal to use proxy?

Question: Is it illegal to use proxy?

This is an important question, that i know many people must ask to you guys on a daily basis. Is it illegal to use proxies? Because I was thinking about trying it for privacy on my computer, and also to increase my computer speed.

But, I am afraid that I will get caught and get into trouble. I live in wisconsin and can anyone find out for me the law of using proxies in the state of Wisconsin. Because if it is oh ok, than I will use it but I don’t want to get into trouble for using it. Let me know the full details about it.

Answer: Of course it’s not legal to use a proxy for illegal purposes. You don’t need to worry about it if you use it to protect your privacy.

Here is the detailed legal information. 18 USC 1030 (which covers computer-related fraud and theft): http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030

The best method is to buy a private proxy service such as My IP Hide if you really concern about the legal issue.
