 | | If you don't have the resources (a preferably 24/7 desktop PC to run your proxy server) or are afraid of hackers and unwanted guests using it (the latter is not really an issue because, for example, RabbIT has quite sophisticated autentication and client filtering capabilities), another option is using a third-party compressing proxy servers. |
 | | Local proxy-like clients, as they are behind the internet connection of the PDA (all programs running on the PDA share the same, with mobile phone-based connections, slow and expensive connection), they need another (hidden; meaning, the PDA user doesn't need to know its address) server somewhere in the internet to connect to. |
 | | You may have guessed that as stand-alone (that is, proxy servers running somewhere on the Internet and not on your PDA) proxy servers have a different Internet address than your PDA and, as they act as the client for the real HTTP servers you're accessing resources at, you can effectively "hide" behind them. |
