Transparent Proxy questions: Posting on a forum

[Renk]

Hi all, thanks for the answer but this thread was very old, and during this time what I did is use AutoProxy addon for firefox, for decide use X proxy in X website, and use the fast High+KA proxies from here Free Proxy List - Public Proxy Servers (IP PORT) - Hide My Ass! - Custom search #226266

What does mean "KA" for a proxy ?

So, I was hiding my ip correctly, y or n ?

With a proxy, I think it depends whether or not for example java is activated; Some request to and reply of your system might not pass through the proxy. You can test here or here, with javascript enabled and NoScript disabled.

Unfortunately, the powerfull Metasploit decloaking engine (decloak.net) seems to be offline now. Too bad.


Edit:
I just have discovered an other site, ip-score.com, which could be a decent decloak.net's replacement for testing proxies purpose.

That it supports Keep-Alive a.k.a. persistent connections, it seems.

So, was my proxy working yes or not ?

Anyway I think also u should use AutoProxy addon guys, so u can made a list of sites which use proxy and others not (AutoMode), don't use (Off Mode) and use in all sites (Global Mode) and switch between these with a button. This plug-in was very useful for me.

Here result of Ip-Score.com, I think is working, I take this proxy from hidemyass.com (u already have link in first page) and is really fast, I don't see difference between proxy or no-proxy.

The results you gave show no reason to worry. But maybe too few reasons... Had you your java/silverlight etc plugins enabled and NoScript disabled (if you have NoScript) during the tests ?

I don't know, tell me where check these things on firefox pls. Java should be active, silverlight too, and never head noscript....

In Tools -> Options -> Content, "javascript must be checked.

In Tools -> add-ons -> extensions, Noscript (if you have it, but I think you have not) must be disabled. So for others filtering/privacy enhancing extensions.

In Tools -> add-ons -> plugins, Java, Flash, SilverLight etc must be enabled.

So, in testing the proxy, you place yourself in the (almost) "worst case" (the true worstcase would be to test the proxy with IE6).


NB: NoScript is a featured FF extension developed by the italian coder Giorgio Maone. This extension blocks malicious scripts and other potentially dangerous content only from the sites you visit. It also "smooth" your profile and diminish your bowser's fingerprint. Many are considering it as a "must have":

never head noscript....

Oh, then you're not safe.

[piratemeister]

Ok, java was enabled, falsh and silverlight too, no script was not enabled. I don't have it cuz I never understood what it do... my only addons on firefox is downloadhelper for download videos, adblock plus, and autoproxy. But I was thinking about a download manager addon.... but already have Jdownloader, why I should.........

"NoScript blocks JavaScript, Java, Flash, Silverlight, and other "active" content by default in Firefox" --> why I should ? If I don't want I disable these... and I don't know nothing about how configure this addon, so pls help me^^
