Why do some of the public proxies not work?
NetShade makes every effort to provide a reliable list of public proxy servers, but
these servers become so heavily trafficked that they frequently go down or become
unusably slow throughout the day. NetShade's server contacts all the proxies in
its list every night, and measures their response time. This data is sent to the NetShade
client program so that your list is always current. Unfortunately reliable public proxies
are becoming increasingly rare, as the threat of Windows spyware has recently prompted many
Windows users to use anonymous proxies. The NetShade proxy is generally your best
option, as it is a dedicated Mac-only proxy server which handles comparatively small
amounts of traffic.
