How does the uProxy extension work?
I heard Google has uProxy and wanted to know what it is and how can it be useful in offices where we have blocked websites?
My question here is why will this site not be blocked as the name Proxy is in the name itself so this site will also be blocked right?
Proxy in closed testing as the developers work to make it secure and robust. U proxy is not similar to TOR, and it will anonymize the traffic. It is also not like Bit Torrent and is not meant of peer to peer file exchanges. U proxy is like a'' personalized VPN'' that allows you to use your computer as a gateway for a trusted friend behind a restrictive firewall ( e.G. In foreign regimes).
The trusted party who is blocked from accessing particular web sites can route the traffic through your computer and access the blocked websites. U proxy is set up on the browsers of both peers to enable this safe and reliable re-routing. Access to the trusted friend can be given by email or chat ( you can use any chat network).
The security of U proxy is a crucial component and that it what the developers are probably testing further. When who may try to watch , block, and redirect Internet connections.
Google is working to open source U proxy . Seeded by Google Ideas and developed by the University of Washington, it definitely isn't the first tool of its kind. But could be one of the easiest too.
