Ok, we decided to add 3 more:

For China, use cn.pickaproxy.com and port 8131.

For Canada, use ca.pickaproxy.com and port 8132.

You're welcome :)

News: US, UK and France proxies now available

We now have 4 ways you can try out our pickaproxy.com service:

To get a random selection of proxies that changes roughly every 10 minutes, change your "proxy" settings to point to tryout.pickaproxy.com and specify port 8123.

To get a selection of proxies that are only in the USA, change your "proxy" settings to point to us.pickaproxy.com and specify port 8125.

For the UK, use uk.pickaproxy.com and port 8126.

For France, use fr.pickaproxy.com and port 8129.

We ask that you limit your use to 1 hour per day at most. These tryouts use the Tor software running on our server as a Tor "client", and they make use of the open source polipo caching web proxy running on our server, to make them work faster. This means that web site pages and images that you visit may end up being saved in our polipo proxy cache for up to 90 days, although in most cases this cache will be cleared every 30 days. We also may keep some logs of your activity for up to 90 days so we can learn from the use of our services and improve upon them, but for your long-term safety and privacy we do not make backup copies of any of our log files or cache files.

News: tryout.pickaproxy.com:8123 now available

We have made available a proxy on a tryout basis to allow anyone to get first hand experience with what the Tor network really does, without having to install any of the Tor software. Details are at http://www.pickaproxy.com/ but essentially anyone can set their proxy to point to tryout.pickaproxy.com and specify port 8123 to make this work. We ask that use be kept under 1 hour, since we do not have unlimited server capacity.
