Hullo fellow geeky fellows,
Me here with another silly question in my quest for knowledge.
How can I tell if I am anonimously proxied? I thought I might have been able to look here at the IP locator, but it just pointed me back here - shucks, and before you asked I was not logged in no.
I though sticking it in the proxy url bit of the connections settings in firefox would have done it, is that not how it is done?
One stupid Jonny
You cannot test if you are on an anonymous proxy by any means other than your IP address being different on the internet - have you tried an external IP viewer rather than locator? I've had some problems with IP locators in the past..
You seem to have done the right thing in configuring the proxy on Firefox - just make sure http://www.antionline.com isn't in the proxy exclusion list ;)
HTH,

Thanks J_k9, that is helpful.

OK, what am I doing wrong, everyone sees my IP not my proxy's?
you can always go to a place like http://showmyip.com
that will show what ip your hitting the site from.
That is what I mean, I have tried that and everyone can see My true IP address, so therefore, I have done something wrong.
How is it sposed to be configured in Firefox?
In FF.. Menu Tools-> Options.... Button at the bottom.. "Connection Settings"..
Not all proxy's are annonymous. Beleive it or not, they are used for other things. Try another one?

That's a good link Eg, I tried it and went to Irongeeks profile from both, this site and the one through the proxy, and the proxy shows a completely different IP, however, if you are using FF and have Noscript running, be prepared to go through some hoops...Quote:

Also the pages are slow to load, but if you want to surf unknown, then a little sacrifice shouldn't hurt right, jonno??? ;)
