AccessDriver is a great program, just make sure to manually unconfigure the proxy afterwards. I had issues for a while trying to figure out why my connection was slow when I specifically told it to stop using an IP. I couldn't actually figure out how to undo the changes, so I used IE tools and LAN settings to fix it. I must say though, being able to scan the world for vulnerabilities is quite risky. Make sure if your sniffing IP's you dont sniff from 0.0.0.0 to 255.55.555.55 etc lol, you'd attack your own government amongst others, can't be to safe. I would also highly recommend reading whatever tutorials are available for it as well, its an extremely handy program in my opinion. You can also load a script unto IE, provided by some websites that will automatically find good, fast connecting IP's for you.
what are the effects of making my comp a relay? is there any risk to privacy if i do? Edit: also, if i'm using an app with proxy support, what do i put in for the proxy? (hopefully 127.0.0.1:8118 because i already started running something)
I actually have a cable modem from BrightHouse, through Roadrunner services. All you have to do to get another ip is unplug the modem, then plug it in again. I'm not sure if the same rule applies everywhere, but it does here. Could be my ISP, not sure.. I'll look into it though.
It's very prestigious to be ip banned. many consider it among the highest of honors. lol jk . You get ip banned when TNT catches you cheating too many times. It makes it so you can't login to neopets (or create a new account). the bans last for a couple months, and the only way to get rid of them is to use proxies or change your ip.
