how do I use a proxy? Kind of a computer noob when it comes to stuff like this

You can use something called TOR project which i believe has a built-in firefox addon to surf anonymously via proxies. I believe they use a program called privoxy.

..Or you can just search online for a proxy list and add them in manually to your internet browser.

I would recommend TOR though..

If you're just surfing anonymously and don't mind being potentially watched, use Tor. However, if you're going to use it for hacking something or another illegal activity, dont use it. this is because the feds participate in the Tor network as routers and (almost certainly) sniff and examine all traffic.

proxy.on.nimp.org

[oddballz194 EDIT] I won't infract this time, but you NEED to identify that as a malicious script. Last Measure is on the official list of scripts that must be identified. For anyone who doesn't know, anything ending with "on.nimp.org" is Last Measure. [/oddballz194 EDIT]

Okay, quick NS&H poll time: How should I respond to this post?

A.) "Welcome to totse and NS&H. Now get the fuck out."

B.) (the classic) You're an idiot.

I would recommend Tor, it is simple to use and install. But, if you REALLY want to be anon, you need to use things like SOCKS5&4.

SOCKS is a protocol. Tor exposes its network over a SOCKS5 server on your machine, for instance.

I think I wrote a walkthrough for stuff like this. It might be a bit overkill if you want to just "use a proxy" though.

Feds use Tor for their own purposes, and the design of the Tor network is such that to break your anonymity, you would have to select a chain of exit nodes that were all controlled by the feds. The fact that they control a few nodes isn't a threat to the network, as long as the majority of nodes remain uncontrolled and/or unwatched by them.
