Take your pick from the proxies listed here:

The page also has instructions for how to use them.
This works sometimes, but I have to keep changing proxies and I have 3 computers here, 2 are laptops, gets very confusing. What seems to happen is that one proxy may work well for a few days, then I hit a site that just won't work, so I change the proxy address and it works, but then a few days later the same thing happens with another site.

Also, download speeds are much lower when I specify a manual proxy.

The problem I tried to log was that web access to many sites was very slow. I was told to use a manual proxy server. When I tried to explain why that wasn't working for me I was told that this is the only way to make it work and that there is no fault to log.
