    How many here use a proxy? For those who do, what are you currently using? Can you share experiences?

    EliteProxy free version...!
    The only one that really works flawless.
    You have to download some free proxy addresses on the site and read how it works.
    Comes a bit complicated at the beginning, but it can be learned.

    Never use any software with hide in the name...!!!
    Those do not work and some contain trojans.

    This is a site to check your IP: http://whatismyipaddress.com/
    ... to see if your location has been changed after adding any software or new proxy.

    Proxys and Static Ip Addresses are for internal use only! Meaning like a warehouse or Bussiness Do not use a proxy garbage for the net

    *no* Wow. Does someone pay you to make BLANKET statements? Or do you have first hand experience?

    I GUARANTY that your sweeping proxy analysis and declaration of "NEVER" is rubbish and inaccurate.
    Stop with the absolutions when you CLEARLY DON'T KNOW what you're saying to be 100% true.

    I will not publicly advocate ANY product here, especially the one I use. I will however, employ everyone to THOROUGHLY do their OWN dogged research, before accepting any one person's advice on a proxy application/service.

    My regards from Switzerland.

    Here is the site with free version download : http://www.eliteproxyswitcher.com/

    Usually you have to buy a proxy list,...but .... LOL....!

    Here is my proxy list: http://www.sendspace.com/file/hih5m2

    All Level 1 and Level 2 proxy's and working.
    Feel free to share and make mirros for download, in case my upload link dies.

    Choose for best working with all sites Level 2.
    Level 1 will not work for all sites...
    Level 1 is strongest anonymity !!!
    Read more about Levels on EliteProxy site.

    Choose proxy's from countries with fast internet, like Ireland, UK, Canada, France and so on...
    No African or south American countries, tooooo slow...

    i only use a proxy if i am up/dl an unknown file that i dont know the release team, or
    connecting to rogue sites to check out their shares
    other than that i go straight out, and i know the risk of isp snooping

    however i dont trust proxy either, before seeing who runs it
    several anonymous links listed on a popular proxy site was run by law enforcement
    look before you chain @ http://leader.ru/secure/ -or- for USA users http://tools-on.net/
    this site should enlighten you a bit anyway

    proxies are in the past... there are tons of special programs that will help you hide your ip and stuff...
    google "Hide my IP" and you'll see it :wink:
