That’s an http(s)-based proxy; it’s not like something you could put into your browser and direct all traffic through. Basically, with that you just send them your http requests with the url you want, and it’ll return the contents. With a normal proxy, it works differently… I don’t fully understand the difference, but I’m pretty sure it works largely different in design. Anyways, proxify isn’t _completely_ free, afaik. ---

Uh, do you need a lot of bandwidth, and are you going to use it a lot? Like, you can use the-cloak (uh, .net, I think, just google it) for limited use. ---

i use switch proxy and a huge list of proxies which fail 90% of the time… They more than quadruple your ping and a lot of the time have time-out errors. ---

why exactly do you want to hide your IP so much??? I mean, I’m just going through proxify provides some level of protection. My friend said you can manually change your IP using the Firefox console. However, even if you change your IP, you’re still vunerable to other attacks. I think it was Confuscious who said "Don’t try to protect yourself from the criminal mastermind, but rather the common theif. " ---

You can’t change your IP in the “Firefox console” (whatever that is). ---

I’m on a fixed IP as well. I’m allotted about seven IPs that I can use (and, presumably more than one, but I wouldn’t know how), with the one I use (and am given by default if I don’t assign my router one) is the one in my location ([font=monospace]70.253.223.102[/font]). I think getting more than one is common practice. @indiasfinest: You could just restart your modem whenever you’re done, and it’ll reconnect (often) renewing your IP (i.e., getting a new one). ---

If you really want to change your IP, you’re doing something illegal or indescent. There is no succh thing to completely remove your iP making it 0.0.00.00.0 proxy’s are really slow, your best bet is to stop illegally traficking :lol: ---
