Free proxy server to surf anonymous - Load balanced and open source

Ace Proxy is completely free with no string attached. There are two ways you can access it.

Due to continued abuse we no longer offer free proxy. If you are looking to protect your privacy consider a vpn account.

Method 1 – No installation or browser configuration needed

This method does not require any installation or browser configuration. All you need to do is go to http://proxy.acevpn.com and type in the url you want to visit in the box. All requests from now on is made through ace proxy server.

Note: http://proxy.acevpn.com is designed to redirect to one of the below mirrors depending on the server load

Optional: You may install Ace Proxy Google Search provider for IE and Firefox to search Google anonymously, directly from the browser search bar.

Advantages

Anonymous. Web sites cannot track you!

Disadvantages

Some sites do not work as intended. We are working to fix this issue
Internet gateway log files can reveal the sites you visited. Warning! Do not use this at your work to access restricted sites
Method 2 is preferred over this

Method 2 – Requires installing Free, open source, GNU GPL Licensed Ace Proxy Client

Installation steps

Install python runtime from python.org. Choose the correct installer for your platform. Platforms supported are Windows, Macintosh, Linux, iPod, Palm OS and lot more

Configuration steps

Run proxy.py in AceProxyClient folder. On windows double click proxy.py file to run. By default the client listens on port 8000 and it should be running if you want to tunnel the requests through the proxy
