Using web proxies to disguise your IP address. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- By Hardcore Pawn <hardcorepawn@cyberdude.com> http://members.tripod.com/~hardcorepawn/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- A lot of people have been concerned recently about their anonymity on the internet. Deleting cookies etc. and paying money for services like the anonymizer. Well here's an easy (and free) way to get around this problem. Use the proxy machines of other servers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- Finding them is pretty easy, the best way is probably the ping program. From a MS-DOS window in Win95 (or from your shell) type: ping proxy.name-of-some-isp.net If you a message like 'bad IP' then there's no such machine but if you get ICMP echo information, then obviously there is. Also you can try looking around the isp/companies web site for information, or perhaps a forged (probably too busy, unconcerned to check.) email to the system admin asking if they have a proxy machine. If you need the addresses of some ISPs check out yahoo.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- To use a proxy through your web browser, in Netscape, click on Options|Network Preferences then click on the 'Proxies' tab and check the radio button 'Manual Proxy config' and then click the 'view' button. Set it up for whatever protocols you want, (some proxies might only support HTTP) probably FTP and HTTP.
