Proxies by John Anderton on 11-26-2005 at 09:54 AM
I know that i could have gotten this info by googling it but i wanted to know not only how to set it up but also the proxy ip that i should use. I mean does anyone know of any good ones i should use ??
Like any suggestions from personal experiences. The pro's and con's of using a proxy ?? etc ....

. If you don't know that you need a proxy, you don't enter anything.There are public HTTP proxy servers, which advertise themselves as giving you anonimity, but using them means that they are aware of all you browsing. Most are also often crashing and/or overloading, and will just give you unreliable connectivity and be a hassle when problems arise anywhere in your web browsing.

Thanks anyway. But i still dont know how to setup a proxy on msn .... i thought it posted that ..... Well then here's the question
Can public (free) proxies be used on msn and how (not that i wanna use em but just the knowledge would be good)
What should we enter in the username and password locations ?

Anyways that wasnt what i needed.
Ok new question on proxies
Is there a way to detect proxies and not allow them/restrict them certain features of a site ??

If you want some anonimity (or just a way to get around a very restrictive firewall), go for Tor. Just set it up and then configure whatever you want to use a Socks4/4a/5 proxy at 127.0.0.1 (if you put in localhost it might not work) on port 9050.
PS: If you don't like that ugly console window, check out TorCP.
