Need a good proxy?

A while back, the company I work for started blocking certain websites from being accessed. This can really cramp your style if you let it. I was frantically searching the internet for a way to freely access the pages that I wanted. There are a number of web (cgi) proxies out there, but they all feel a little sketchy to me when I enter secure credentials into them. For those who dont know, a cgi proxy is a website that you go to which lets you browse another website within it. I couldnt let a security flaw like giving my passwords to strangers be apart of my internet work life.
After searching for a while, I found a few programs that would let you install them on your home machine, and youd connect to them and use their internet connection. The only bad things about these programs were that you had to install a program on your work computer to actually be able to view the damned thing, which is definitely a company NO-NO and not to mention an IT nightmare, and they were pretty expensive. So I was determined that I wanted to browse using my home pc's internet connection, but I didnt want to actually install anything on the work pc.

I began looking into web sites that offer these types of solutions. The only one that I had ever heard of was GoToMyPc.com, from those annoying commercials from a few years ago. The problem with gotomypc, is that you have to pay to use its service. NEXT!

On the verge of giving up, I finally found a website which offers GoToMyPc's functionality, but without the pricetag. Thats right ladies and gentlemen, this is FREE.

Logmein (link)

When I found this site, it was love at first site. They offer a range of solutions for IT professionals, or just the average computer geek. According to their site, "LogMeIn requires you to enter separate passwords to access both your LogMeIn account and your Target PC's Windows login. LogMeIn uses 128- to 256-bit encryption to protect your passwords and data. It also includes such active defense features as IP filtering and lockout." This sounds pretty good to me, considering I dont want my credit card information all over the internet. It is supposedly compatible with all firewalls, but if theres an issue theres some workarounds listed on their FAQ page (link).

Ive been using this program for over a year now, and have never found a random user browsing my pc, nor have I ever heard of it from any other user.

Get it.
