PHProxy

PHPRoxy is the name given to a type of proxy website which is used by someone to get access to websites which are in most cases either blocked or filtered. It provides users with unchallenged entry into websites which are usually not allowed in certain organizations. This does not particularly apply for adult websites because there are instances when organizations block access to social network sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to deter its employees from spending too much time on the portals.

In some situations, PHProxy are considered illegal because it would also allow access into corporate or governmental websites which could post security threats to their data. Hence, it is one of the most common tools used by hackers and illegal users who want to gain access into the database of a particular company.

Such sites are designed in such a way that one gain uninterrupted access to the sites they want to access. This is particularly common in certain countries where censorship of internet is common. In Malaysia, PHProxy was used recently by some quarters after the government banned some file sharing sites like Megauplaod.com which drew a lot of protest despite the ‘No Censorship of Internet’ in the Bill of Guarantees of the MSC Malaysia.
