How To Select Proxy Address

January 17th, 2012

There are endless numbers of proxy address available as free. I often use to login facebook while traveling in Vietnam.  Before we proceed to the free proxy list, I will have to share with you the basic of how to select proxy address.

Proxy Server, Basic concept

Proxy Address is a numeric label assigned as an intermediary gate to the desired website u be visiting. This label also called proxy server used for settings described here.

Choosing the proxy address can be determine by 3 basic filtering components. Namely, proxy type, proxy port, and proxy country.

Below technically describe the terms.

    1. Proxy Type ~
      • The level of anonymity for user. There are:-
        • Non-anonymous proxy server. For casual surfing of webpages. Example: Google search.
        • Anonymous proxy server. With certain degree of anonymity for web surfing. Example: Facebook Login.
        • Highly Anonymous proxy. Highly secured and for elite user. Example: Yahoo mail login.
    2. Proxy Port ~
      • Act as a listening channel to consolidate all internet request. Both proxy port and proxy address work in pairs, relying on each other to function or connect properly.
      • Most common proxy port is 8080, supporting web address with protocol beginning with “http://www…” and “https://www…”. The latter protocol is SSL; short for Secured Sockets Layer, a protocol for encrypting information over the Internet.
    3. Proxy Country ~
      • Location of proxy server. For example: If your physical location is in Vietnam, you might one to choose a proxy address located in Germany or United States. Virtually, you are also identify as one surfing from that chosen location. No concern if you don’t have any particular preference.
      • However, the security of Facebook Login will detect your login as an unidentified user of different country. Do not panic, just login and answer all the security questions by Facebook.

Here is another simple way of explaining above terms.

Let say you are an online seller.  You have to deliver the successfully sold item to your buyer by the chosen courier service. Or you could be a wholeseller delivering branded goods to supplier (intermediary gate) who later distribute (serve) to his customers living in smaller towns. Product could metaphorically refer to sending your internet requests as a package.

Before delivering your product to supplier’s address (Proxy Address), you need to know:-

  1. the province or country (Proxy Country) of the buyer’s residency you are sending to, and
  2. the shipping port (Proxy Port), airport, seaport or post office to consolidate all incoming goods.
  3. the degree of securing the product (Proxy Type). E.g. special packing, registered-article or just a simple plain mail.

Once you understand these 3 basic requirements, you may proceed to select your own proxy address that works for Facebook Login.

Try filtering the 3 components to search for the desired proxy address usable in Facebook Login.

Watch “The Secret Life of The American Teenage” from YouTube. At least an excerpts…

June 8th, 2010

You may want to catch up with the latest episode of “The Secret Life of The American Teenage“. But hack!, you have to work over-time, to earn the extra pocket money. So the solution is to automate your TV recorder and watch it later when you get back home.

At times, all this prearrange effort may come to nought, because of wrong settings, timing, or technical glitches on the recording device. Probably, you have to read the thick manual on how-to, troubleshooting, Q & A topics…..

Nah!.. That takes time, you not going to do that.

Alternatively, you may want to watch The Secret Life of The American Teenageon YouTube, at least an excerpts of the entire episode. And this is what I’m doing.

Well, at least that is good enough to keep me going on the next day to social and discuss with friends about what happened to Amy Juergens, Ashley Juergens or Benjamin “Ben” Boykewich.

You hook on to the internet and start to search in YouTube for the latest “The Secret Life of The American Teenage, Season 3“. The video results turned out to be uploaded 1 year ago! Sometime, the smart search tool may give you the latest video uploaded 4 hours ago. And that is the latest episode, or perhaps not.. Its another erroneous search result..

Don’t give up! Try the YouTube “Search Options” located at the top left corner of your search result page. The fonts size are small, will find it if you look at the YouTube logo at top left corner.

This feature YouTube “Search Options” from has been around for long time, until recently I started to use it more frequently. Nothing new, but a very useful optional feature.

Now the search has become smarter, accustomed to your specific request. By default, YouTube “Search Options” is collapsed (hidden), and require user to expand the feature.

Expand it by clicking the down arrow, which is next to YouTube “Search Options”. You will see the menu breakdown into this few groups:-

  1. Result type:
  2. Sort by:
  3. Upload date:
  4. Categories:
  5. Duration:
  6. Features:

Quickest of all to get the real-time search result is to Sort By: Upload date.

All other options are based on one’s preference and requirement. No assurance that result is free from error. So pick the right video to watch. The options and latest search results are all there.

Below I have attached 2 screenshot on the feature of this “Search Options“. With and without defining search option, “Sort By: Upload date”

The obvious differences includes:-

  • When the video was uploaded, 6 months or 1 year, etc.
  • Number of visitors who have watch the video uploaded.
