# 4.3 Using a non censoring proxy server You can put a proxy server between your Internet connection and the site you want to visit. You send your request for a special website to that proxy server, which request the page from the Internet and deliver it to you. Normally, those servers cache the requested pages, so that on the next request he can deliver the page directly from the cache. That would be faster and cheaper. We use those servers to bypass censorship. For the eyes/computers of our ISP/Government we are only connecting to the proxy, they can't easily see, that we are connecting to a "bad site". But sometimes the standard proxy ports (80, 1080, 3128 and 8080) are blocked. In that case you have to use the proxies that are listening on an uncommon port.

Here are a few, its in the widely spread "hostname:port" format. These proxies are mostly not anonymous! pdns.nd-shokusan.co.jp:80 proxy.ia2.marketscore.com:80 proxy.or3.marketscore.com:80 ce420f8a.gw209.dsl.airmail.net:80 www-proxy.HB1.srv.t-online.de:80 gas90.gas.cz:3128 kupl1.ittc.ku.edu:3128 mail.jobclub-ps.de:3128 mail.libreriaregional.com:3128 mail.pegasus-sewing.com.hk:3128 pl1.cs.utk.edu:3128 proxy.telcel.net.ve:3128 vn1.cse.wustl.edu:3128 Planetlab CoDeeN Project (http://codeen.cs.princeton.edu/ - Very fast, you can also use them on port 3127. No POST allowed, so you only can view/download webpages and use simple forms that use the GET method (like search engines) but you can not use bigger forms that use POST (like buy stuff at Amazon)). # 4.3.2 Uncommon port proxy Due to the fact that several censors block the common proxy ports (80, 1080, 3128 and 8080) to prevent circumvention you have to use proxies that are listening on a uncommon port. For example 8000 for the Junkbuster proxy or 6588 for the AnalogX proxy.
