Best VPN/Proxy to use?
I was using HideMyIPAddress, but I got to the limit on it for a day.

Use Google Chrome, It has a in-built proxy called Incognito Window.

Is that for proxy? I thought that was to hide it from people looking at your history

Mhm... And does it pick a random IP from Google's massive grouping of super-computers and assign it to you temporarily? Or what

Yes it is. I've checked this too. I found about it last night from a video about chrome beta on mac leopard os x XD.

"You've gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won't appear in your browser history or search history, and they won't leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.

Going incognito doesn't affect the behavior of other people, servers, or software. Be wary of:
Websites that collect or share information about you
Internet service providers or employers that track the pages you visit
Malicious software that tracks your keystrokes in exchange for free smileys
Surveillance by secret agents
People standing behind you
Learn more about incognito browsing."

exact phrase it says when you go into incognito mode

Personally I just use foxy proxy with firefox, then change the proxy as needed.

I usually get a list of proxys from proxy-list.org.
I don't like using web page based proxys because, to me at least, they don't work as well.

Hope this helped if even only a little. :3
