You're only slowing yourself down, all traffic needs to go trough the proxy server first. I don't know where you live, but China is known to have fairly slow internet connections to abroad. Besides, using some unknown proxy server to hide your IP doesn't increase your privacy. While you may have hidden your IP address you're sending all your traffic through some unknown server. Whoever hosts the proxy server (or another machine along the line) can capture all your data, including your usernames and passwords.

Why do you want to hide your IP address? The stories about people who can hack you just be knowing your IP address are completely bogus.

My own IP is 84.245.32.60, there i said it :p.
