Summarize this article:

Proxy websites take your IP address and hide it behind a different address—often one from a different country—in order to fool websites and ISPs into thinking that your computer's IP address isn't being used. This is handy if you want to try watching a movie that is blocked in your region, for example, or if you want to check your bank statements while using public Wi-Fi.  It's important to block your IP address whenever using free, public Wi-Fi (e.g., a coffee shop network). Since proxies often redirect your address through a server in a different country, your browsing will be noticeably slower than usual. Go to https://hide.me/en/proxy in your browser. Hide Me is a simple, proxy-based search engine from which you can browse anonymously. Keep in mind that your IP address will only be hidden so long as you use Hide Me in the current browser. Your browsing on other pages or in other browsers will not be hidden. It's the white "Enter web address" text field in the middle of the Hide Me page. Type in a website address (e.g., "facebook.com" or "google.com"). You cannot search for individual terms in Hide Me, so you'll need to enter the address of a search engine like Google or Bing if you want to browse. Click the "Proxy location" drop-down box, then click a server location (e.g., Germany) in the resulting drop-down menu. It's a yellow button near the bottom of the page. Doing so will go to your selected site, at which point you can browse like usual. Make sure that you stay on the Hide Me tab of your browser to continue hiding your IP address.

Summary:
Understand how proxies work. Open the Hide Me site. Click the address field. Enter a search term. Select a server location. Click Visit anonymously.
