Proxy N VPN Launches Super Fast SEO Proxies Hosted On Advanced Servers Across The US

Proxy N VPN has updated their servers throughout the United States to the quickest and most powerful in the country, to provide peerless services to clients.

A proxy server allows individuals to mask their location by re-directing all their traffic through a second source, which is reported as the origin to websites and locations users visit. A virtual private network is a private virtual space that can be used by businesses or individuals to ‘port’ into from a remote device anywhere in the world and have access to theirs and other devices, creating a truly mobile experience for users while keeping them isolated and self contained. Proxy N VPN is a company that offers such services, and has upgraded their server set to be one of the most advanced available in the US.

Proxy N VPN’s new servers are distributed throughout the US, including Miami Florida, Los Angeles California, Dallas Texas, Buffalo, Phoenix Arizona, Chicago Illinois, New York, Seattle and New Jersey to name but a few, providing the very fastest connection speeds as no matter where a business is, they can have a server practically on their doorstep.

The servers are also powered by Intel® Xeon® with 8GB of RAM and unlimited bandwidth, meaning they are powerful enough and fast enough to be used for everything a modern business needs, and they needn’t worry about overusing the server. They are ideal for SEO proxies, private proxies, or even business proxies.

A spokesperson for Proxy N VPN explained, “Proxy servers and virtual private networks offer the ultimate in privacy, and this is at a bigger premium than ever thanks to the news stories circulating about Heartbleed, the latest in a string of viruses and hacks that have exposed how easy it is for cyber attacks to reach in and take businesses’ most sensitive data. The upgrade we have undertaken has been to make our servers the most secure on the market, and with nationwide distribution, we are confident we can offer the best such services for proxies, VPNs and datacenters in the country. Our new SEO proxies have set a new standard in the market and we expect them to be extremely popular.”

Report: Schools Still Swatting Anonymous Proxy Usage

Schools are still struggling to stay ahead of anonymous proxy activity, with two in five spending more time dealing with them now than they did a year ago. About two-thirds of IT organizations identify and block access to new proxy sites within a few hours, but a third take a few days or a week or more to do the same. The biggest concerns IT has about the existence of proxy sites in an education environment: They allow students to access content that may be inappropriate and increase security risks for networks.

Anonymous Proxy

These results and others come out of a new survey done among 250 IT people in the United States and the United Kingdom by Bloxx, a company that sells content filtering and security applications.

An anonymous proxy site bypasses filtering controls schools put in place and give users access to any Web site they choose. According to Bloxx, thousands of new proxy sites are created every week.

As one respondent told the company, the existence of anonymous proxies "just means students are wasting valuable time trying to find out ways to get on Facebook and other related sites and it just creates a cat and mouse game for the IT department." As another noted, "They create an avenue for malware to get into our network."

American schools and districts that receive E-rate discounts for their Internet access or internal connections are required to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Under CIPA schools must block or filter Internet access to pictures that are obscene, pornographic or harmful to minors, and their Internet safety policies have to include monitoring the online activities of minors.

The problem, according to the survey, is that while the technical staff understands the challenges of keeping up with anonymous proxies, that knowledge isn't shared by people outside of IT. "There is a need to educate parents, teachers and school staff about the type of material children may be exposed to if proper protective measures are not in place," said one respondent.

The report recommended that districts adopt a "multi-point strategy" to combat student use of anonymous proxies:

• Deployment of a filtering technology that can identify anonymous proxies in real time;
• Adoption of acceptable usage policies that forbid them and "emphasizes" that the district has the ability to detect them; and
• Enforcement of those policies based on Web access data mined from usage reports.

"This is the third time we've conducted the survey in the past five years," said Bloxx CEO and President Charles Sweeney. "And while we see similar concerns about and response to the threat of anonymous proxies, we were surprised that almost 33 percent of school IT respondents still consider anonymous proxies to be 'not a problem,' while an alarming 60 percent of non-IT staff have 'no or very little' understanding of the risk posed by this threat."

Google Proxy Used for Chrome's Mobile Data Compression

Google Proxy

Claiming a saving on data usage of 50 percent, Google has rolled out a new data compression feature in its Chrome for Mobile app that is available for Android and iOS. To enable the new feature, all the user needs to do is head over to the Settings menu, go into the Bandwidth Management section, and select "Reduce data usage".


In order to compress the data send to the mobile device, Google is forwarding all HTTP traffic and DNS lookups to a SPDY proxy run by the company, which sends its data back to the device over an SSL connection.

"By using SPDY, the proxy is able to multiplex multiple request and response streams in parallel over a single TCP connection to your phone or tablet," Google engineer Matt Welsh wrote in a blog post introducing the beta release of the data compression feature in March 2013.

"Only HTTP traffic is routed through and optimised by the proxy, so secure (HTTPS) requests will bypass the proxy and continue to connect directly to the destination."

As part of the bandwidth saving, Google's proxy will return pages with gzip compression and convert all images to WebP, which the company says requires fewer bytes than JPEG or PNG.

"The proxy also performs intelligent compression and minification of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS resources, which removes unnecessary white space, comments, and other metadata which are not essential to render the page," Welsh said.

Pages requested in Chrome's Incognito mode are not sent via the proxy.

Google is far from being the first company to use proxies to reduce bandwidth usage. Opera, for many years, has made use of a proxy for traffic reduction in its Opera Mini browser, a feature that is now found under the "Off-Road mode" moniker in its new Blink-based browser for Android.

LinkedIn found itself in hot water in October last year, when the company introduced its Intro service for iPhone users, which routed a user's email through a LinkedIn proxy in order to inject LinkedIn information for them.

As well as updating the mobile version of its Chrome application, Google also released a new desktop version of its browser, featuring a new mode for Windows 8, which mimics the behaviour of Chrome OS.
