There is too much demand for this to exist for more than a blink of the eye. Any public proxy you find will either cost money, exploit your traffic to make money, or be too overloaded to be reliable.

However, some cafes and public libraries offer anonymous wifi, so if you don't use a lot of bandwidth, they might be worth trying.

There is also Tor.
