What is the best/safest Anonymous Proxy?

well, even the safety issue being solved, you don't know if the proxy is any good. there have been tests where the proxy showed you were properly hidden but it was a small matter to find out your true ip address. and again, if you use an anonymous proxy, you're just raising red flags all over the place, since of course the ip pools of the anonymous proxys are well known by those that care about such things.

and you don't know if it transmits your info back to the author, and it can only check if the proxy is active, not if it does any good as a cloak.

If you think about it this way, then every free program could POTENTIALLY transmit your data to its author.. If you are so concerned about that, block it from accessing the net and see what connections it makes :)

well, yeah, you could become paranoid like that. but when you're using a tool written by someone that more or less obviously intends to make this tool available for shady purposes ( proxy checker, virus creation toolkit, trojan toolkit etc.) you have to think that this person is himself a more or less shady character that isn't above using the program he distributes for his own shady means.
