Proxy
 

I keep hearing about how you should protect yourself by setting up proxy's - but how the heck do you do it with IE? (or MyIE2) Thanks!

Some people use proxies for protection, but most people use them for privacy--if you route through an anonymous proxy, you are essentially invisible.

For protection, I would recommend installing a good personal firewall. It is much easier to maintain, and just as effective. If you are looking for anonymity, I dont know much other than what I just told you. Sorry :(

go to tools, internet options, click on connections tab.

click on lan settings

now check the 'use a proxy server' box and enter the ip & port of a proxy server u wish to go thru.

sounds good, will this protect you from Kazaa as well?

edit- how do I obtain a proxy server to go through? I just tried the 10.100.100.1 but that just times out. Yes I know I am dumb when it comes to this. Thanks for your help educating me :)

You need to gather a list of proxies from a site like multiproxy.org and use them.

You'll have to change your proxy often because they "wear out" with use.

Question/suggestion here...

By using a utility (i.e. ProxyPal, which I've got installed here), do you need to keep a list or does that automatically rotate 'em for you?

I'd assume you have to update the list, but I've never used that program.

here are some proxy servers for u.

the first part is the ip and the second part is the port #.

might wanna ping them and go with the one with the best ping.

I have never used a web proxy, just a local one, it seems like it would solw your connection down substantially, having to go through the one computer for every request, right?

Just buy another barebones computer and set that up for internet sharing, and install your firewall and proxy there, hell add a huge HDD and make it an Mp3 server... have more that one computer in the house it the way to go!

if he wants to cloak himself, that wouldnt work.


as for speeds, it is only noticable when you are downloading stuff. when browsing pics, there is hardly a difference on a good proxy server.
