Favorite sites Facebook, Gmail, YouTube,or Yahoo are blocked at your
school, college or at your work place, then you would rely mainly on web
proxies.
The proxy sites not only allow you to unblock the blocked websites at
your school, college and at work place, but also help you to browse
anonymous on non blocked websites.
It would would be always better to use SSL based proxies. Also, use
https browsing for your GMail, YouTube or Facebook if you access them
through proxies. This would prevent your GMail or Facebook account
password get stolen.
SSL proxies which I had tried are,
ssl-proxy.my-addr.com

There are many sites that offer web proxy service for free. But there is
a chance that even the proxy sites may get blocked if the network
administrator notices your activity. Then you may have to ponder new
proxies, may be once in few days!. I found one interesting site which
lists some new random proxy sites. So you can rely on a new proxy site,
even if existing proxy site is blocked.
