Mobile devices running Windows Mobile 6.1 are very popular these days, as they offer a great user experience. If you have such a smartphone and you are concerned about your online privacy, you are probably interested in finding out how to set up your device to use a proxy.

By using a proxy you are able not only to hide your IP address (and location) while browsing the internet, but you are also able to unblock restricted sites like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, etc..

The first step is to find a good proxy. You may subscribe to private proxies or you can search for a free ones on sites like SamAir.ru or Proxy4Free. The free/open proxies are quite slow, but some of them offer enough speed for regular browsing; not for watching videos on YouTube or unblocking Hulu.

Next, set up you phone to work with the selected proxy.
