My-Proxy Customer Login

In the former version, the “Lost Password” password function will be shown only after the user submit the wrong password. Now it’s always shown on the login page.

New License Page

Here is the screen shot of the new license page. We are now showing one license by only one line to make the page clear. When you click on the license, it will show the detailed information in a in-page popup.

My-Proxy Customer Licenses

In the former version, all the details are shown on one page. It makes the page too long if the customer has many licenses.

Add Comment Page

Here is the screen shot of the comment page which is the new function. We are now collecting customer’s comments about our products and services.

My-Proxy Customer Comments

We will publish them when we collect enough comments and reviews. Of course, we will protect the privacy of our customers. We won’t publish the email and the full name of the customers. The customer can even choose to post anonymous comments.

We Improved Our Proxy Services

We improved our proxy services these days. We have improved our free web proxy, our proxy software My IP Hide, our http proxy list, socks proxy list and proxy list for website.

Free Web Proxy

Our free web proxy supports more sites. Now our web proxy is optimized for these sites: youtube, facebook, twitter, gmail, msn, hotmail, myspace and yahoo mail. However for some of them, we have to redirect to the mobile/lite version of them. It’s because of the limit of web proxy. However our web proxy should be able to support most sites which don’t use javascript heavily.

My IP Hide

We have improved the activation function of My IP Hide for Singapore users. In Singapore, many Internet Service Provider uses proxy to save bandwidth. So the user will have different IPs for different site. It causes problem for Singapore users to activate My IP Hide. Now we have fixed this problem. No update is needed because the update is done in the server end.

Proxy Lists

Now our proxy list is updated every hour instead of every 6 hours. It affects all our proxy lists, including the free proxy list and the paid proxy list: the http proxy list, socks proxy list and proxy list for website. Now our users should be able to get more working proxies from our proxy list.

Web Proxy VS HTTP Proxy

Web proxy has encryption functions but it can’t support many sites. HTTP proxy is faster than web proxy and support all the sites. But it has no encryption.

Web proxy and HTTP proxy are two common methods for anonymously browsing. Many people use them to hide their real IP and protect online privacy. However, which one is faster, more reliable, and better for surfing?

Web Proxy

Using a web proxy is the easiest way to hide IP. A web proxy is a website with an address bar. Just input the URL of the blocked site into that bar and click the “Surf” button. Web proxy will fetch the web page for you showing on its own site. You can try our web proxy here.

Web Proxy

HTTP Proxy

HTTP proxy is an IP: Port pair (ex. 23.145.98.5:3128). All the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari, and others) support the proxy option. When you set a proxy in the browser, the proxy will fetch the web pages for your browser. The websites regard the IP of proxy as your IP so it cannot trace your real IP.

Http Proxy List

Proxy Compatibility

Web proxy has problems with flash and javascript. With some special code, some web proxies manage to support some video websites. But if a website uses javascript heavily, web proxy can’t support it usually.

For that reason, some web proxies have to redirect users to the mobile/lite version of Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Hotmail, and yahoo mail. Web proxy can’t support the full functions of them.

In contrast, HTTP proxy supports all the websites perfectly. It’s because HTTP proxy is the built-in function of the browser while web proxy is a website to simulate a proxy server.

Loading Speed

Web proxy needs to rewrite all the links of pages. It parses the Html, style, and script files of pages then rewrite all the links. It takes much time to do that. HTTP proxy doesn’t modify the pages. It only fetches pages for the browser so it’s much faster than a web proxy.

Moreover, web proxy is usually written in PHP or CGI which is slower than C/C++. Most HTTP proxy is written in C/C++ so it’s faster.

Encryption

HTTP proxy only fetches the pages for the browser. It can’t modify the pages so it can’t encrypt the traffic. In contrast, web proxy can encrypt the URLs as well as the pages. There may be a problem if you enable page encryption. With URL encryption, you can bypass most firewalls.

Enhanced Proxy

HTTP proxy is faster than web proxy and compatible with all the websites. But it doesn’t have encryption function so it can’t bypass the firewall with content filtering.

My IP Hide

Our service My IP Hide is an enhanced proxy service. It adds the encryption function into HTTP proxy service. It can set the proxy options of your browser automatically. You need not do any settings for your browser. My IP Hide has all the advantages of web proxy and HTTP proxy. It’s the best method for anonymously surfing.
