Proxies: A Newbies Guide

well.. i don't see how you would use a proxy any other way...


unless you used a web based one, like anonymouse.com or http://www.kankan.myftp.biz

 

I got IP banned by neopets and now I can't login, but I can use a proxy to right?

 

thx for the guild men thats helps me alot

 

Thanks for this guide! I really learned much new things!

 

Well... I tried changing my proxy for both Firefox (that I'm using) and Internet Options in the Control Panel.. There I changed both the settings in the Dial-Up and LAN connection (not sure which one I'm using in the first place, probably LAN) and set it to use the same proxy server for all protocols on that connection. Automatic configuration is set to automatically detect settings.

Now I'm able to see the proxy address in Expon's signature
(The one at http://www.neofriends.net/sig.php)
but when I tried testing my proxy in http://whatismyipaddress.com/, it gave me my actual IP adress..
I've already cleared all my private data excluding the saved passwords. Can anyone point out what I might have been doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I got it working, I think. C: ...How do you +rep?

 

its very hard to nderstand..
but yet cool guide..
I love it but never use to neopets.. :maha:

 

Infact I never understood how to use a Proxy before, but this seems to work! Thanks!

 

thank you very much i never understood how to do it till now!

 

I keep trying to configure my internet explorer settings, i enter the proxy and port number, but i keep checking my IP, and its the same.

EDIT: actually, I got it to work once and then when I tried to connect to an proxy, my internet keeps stop working

 

Ive gotten to a proxy list, buy what do i do from there? like i see a list of IPs and countries, but what do i do to use them?

 

Thanks so much for this!

 

Nice, thanks for the proxy links most

 

Hey will some one help me with the proxy for firefox? I have the newest version and I downloaded FoxyProxy but it doesn't seem to do anything. the whats my ip website got the ip. I got the IE one to work. thanks

 

Great guide! Unfortunately I don'y know why, but my firefox doesn't have proxy support? I have the latest one. When I go to edit there is definately no preferences. I go to help support I can only get the definition

 

It does
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Settings > Manual Proxy Configuration

 

I was wondering, If I have a proxy set on my Mozilla firefox, and I go onto a side on that proxy at my home and at school (laptop)... Would it appear that my IP and location have never changed?

 

Sigh, are there any reliable proxy sites somebody could suggest? Most of the ones I've tried in this thread and have found on google have been like 97% unsuccessful.

 

thanks a ton, great guide. +rep
