yeah but..
They switched from using public servers to using their private servers, thus leaving you no control over the proxy you use, I suspect if FBI or any agency would knock on their door logs would be handed out pretty fast....and they do keep logs
I've no idea how many proxy servers they actually have, nor where they are located but it would provide some security from dishonest webmasters etc but absolutely none if you do something you're not supposed to do
I also suspect it only affects your surfing and not other apps as news agents, ftp, telnet and a few other shady tools for other purposes, however I have not checked
I'd rather use a free alternative like proxomitron which will let you use your own proxies and design your own webfilters, too bad it's creator have stopped supporting that tool
