Top/Best:5+ Free VPN Services as alternatives to Web Proxies for Anonymous Web Browsing/Surfing

Internet censorship is commonplace these days in schools, universities and organizations where it is unwanted for people to access certain services (usually social networks like Twitter, Facebook etc., video streaming websites like YouTube, Metacafe, and P2P services) in order to either save bandwidth, or work time. The usual way used by those who want to get around this blocking is to access blocked services and websites through web proxies or proxy servers, which can be slow, insecure and inefficient at times. Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technique which gives all the benefits of accessing blocked content online while having none of the disadvantages suffered by proxies.
vpns has following features:

Bypass/Unblock Local Firewall Restrictions

The user may be forced to browse web through some firewall of local network at office school/university, or country. In result, the web surfers are not allowed to visit some of websites according to the policy. These websites may include social websites like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and many more. The restriction may have been enforced over larger scale like China has blocked through ‘Great Firewall of China’.

Bypass/Unblock Default Regional Restrictions

There are many web services which impose restrictions on IP level so that these services can be accessed from specific regions. For example, Hulu and Pandora are not accessible outside of USA. Similarly, Spotify is only available in major parts of Europe.

Anonymous Web Browsing/Surfing for Privacy

The user does not want to reveal its identity which can be traced. Anyone who wants to speak about forbidden social issues, receive some information,  and involve in illegal activities like P2P file sharing without revealing the identity is concerned.
