How to use proxies? - ShawnReynolds - 09-16-2014

I have never used proxies before, except HideMyAss occasionally. I would like to know how to use actual proxies. My reasons for this are mine and mine alone, and I know there will be some people who think I am stupid for asking this, but as is stated in my profile and some of my other threads, I am a newb at most computer stuff, so do not be rude.

Thanks,
Shawn Reynolds

Keep in mind if you are using free proxies you are going to want to clear caches a lot and don't use your normal browser. It is easy to get infected by a JS bot net using proxies.
