Hi Null Device

thanks for your response i liked that site aswell its cool

one last thing though how wud i determine this on my website. wud i need to install some programme or something or cud i find it in the logs?

For example say u came to my webiste and posted on my forum..

say for example ur orginal ip was : 172.0.0.0 AOL.com or whatever

and u set up a browser proxy which was transparent..and say it was 12.13.14.15

if i went to check ur IP address on the Forum or post it wud come out as the proxy Address..

so my Question is How wud u be able to find out the Original IP address from the Proxy Server?

will it be in the site logs or anything? or will i have to install a programme?

does this make sense?

thanks
