There is every reason for a Proxy to be private. The good of making it personal cannot be over emphasized.
Usually private proxy is exclusively owned and managed by an individual or may be a few individuals which makes the use faster. It is very much unlike the free or public ones where there is the tendency of having thousands of people accessing one proxy at the same time. This will obviously make the use of the system seriously slow; at times it even freezes completely. On a private proxy where the users at a giving point in time are only a few, there is the advantage of high speed.
