Volafile is a file sharing service that provides users with a free, limited-time online storage and the ability to share files with other users. Volatile users can create or join chat rooms, referred to as “rooms”, where users inside it are able to upload and download files. It’s user friendly and has removed the various hassles that are associated with other file sharing services. For example, you don’t have to wait for countdowns before you download a file and there are no unfair restrictions placed on uploading or downloading files.

When you share files in Volafile, you have the option to do it anonymously. The problem is that, although you will be anonymous to other users, Volafile moderators will still be able to see your IP address and location. The only way to remain completely anonymous while sharing files is through the use of a proxy for Volafile!

Proxies act as a gateway between your device and the internet. Any website you visit can only see the IP address of the proxy server and will not be able to see your own IP address and location. With the help of the best Volafile proxies, which are either residential proxies or datacenter proxies, you can share any files anonymously without the fear of your own IP address being discovered. Residential proxies are best when you want complete security and total anonymity. Datacenter proxies are for when you want faster speeds to upload and download files as quickly as possible.

There are also many other uses for proxies that are similar to a vpn. It will help you avoid users with malicious intentions and remain protected when browsing Volafile. If your IP has been banned by Volafile, you can use proxies to bypass that ban and still access it. You can also unblock Volafile with a proxy if your region or network has banned it from their servers.

Let’s set up a Volafile proxy server.
