the thing i miss about TG was a simple easy to follow steps to using proxies. does anyone still have that?? Ares made it for me. Man I miss that guy.
 
1) Find a site with a free proxy.

2) Put the proxy in the box that says "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" in your connection settings.
 
CU:

whenever I used a proxy from samair, it seemed to run sooooo slow. Also, which are the best to use? Anonomous? Elite?
 
Catch-22.

In my experience, yes elites run slower, but are undetectable by their nature. So, if a site is running software to look for proxies, then it won't give telltale signs like an anonymous proxy will.

An anonymous is faster, but detectable if someone is looking for proxies.

For simple reading, but not posting, I use transparent proxies unless I'm feeling paranoid.

The good thing about samair is that many of his anonymous proxies are reasonably fast.

I'll understand if this doesn't help much, but that's the way it is. I've even found that anonymizer sites tend to be slow.
 
I used to use one from Ethiopia. Used it for several months, in fact, until it finally crapped out on me.

A word of advice: don't use proxies from Arabic nations or from the People's Republic of China, unless you think having feds on your doorstep is a good idea.

I don't know this for a fact, but I have a sneaky suspicion. ;)

That has to be good advice no matter what the situation.
 
Incidentally, I recommend this software very much:

I particularly like this statement, which sums up my opinion rather nicely:

Your IP address is traceable back to the door of your apartment. It’s as if you are constantly wearing your identity card around your neck for everyone to see. Is that what you want?
It’s not about whether you have something to hide or not. You have a right to privacy and do not have to justify this. Allow yourself the freedom of surfing the Web anonymously.


That's why I despise the shit-assed policy of EI to disallow the use of proxies while posting there. It's none of Rov's fucking business what someone's IP might be so long as that person isn't breaking the rules.
