Using a web-proxy service to get the html content of the target url?

In C# or else VB.Net, I need to access to a webpage through a web-proxy service to do a web-scraping on the target url which I am interested to.

Let's give as example a random web-proxy service (really no matter which one, I'm open to suggestions) for example this below, which does not complicate things like others do with hashes in the query (that's a thing that I don't know how to handle):

http://proxyanonimo.es/browse.php?u=http%3a%2f%2furl.com

Then, when i perform an HttpWebRequest to that url I expected to encounter in the response the target url's html content, but instead of that I get this content:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
 
<html>

Then... this is possibly to do?.

What I'm missing?.

Maybe the web-proxy service that I'm trying is resctricting me something?, maybe another web-proxy service could help me better for my needs?.

What is Web proxy in C#?

Web Proxy Server is HTTP proxy server written in C#.It is Multithreaded so many clients can access the web through this WebProxy Server. WebProxy_Service.zip|WebProxyConsole.zip. Introduction. Web Proxy Server is HTTP proxy server written in C#.

I would like to suggest you use direct proxy IP:port, for example 115.238.225.26:80. Then you could easy handle problem using next code:

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(new Uri("http://example.com"));
WebProxy webproxy = new WebProxy("115.238.225.26", 80);
webproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
req.Method = "GET";
req.Proxy = webproxy;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) req.GetResponse();
var respStream = response.GetResponseStream();
var result = "";
if (respStream != null) {
    var strReader = new StreamReader(respStream);
    result = strReader.ReadToEnd();
}

Then in result variable you will find result page content or empty string in case some problems occurs(respStream==null). Additionally it may be required add exceptions handling for this code in case any connection problems occurs or so.
