tech_guy Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I need to use an anonymous proxy. What do you think of Tor and how do I check that it's doing the job?
tech_guy Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 Or any other anon proxy for that matter.
tech_guy Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 It's for a perfectly legit reason - honest! :-)
FN-GM Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Yer that’s what they all say.... Ok if you want to check how its working you can check the IP address. If you go into your normal web browser and then go to sites such as whatismyip.com and check your IP. Then if you go into the proxy website and run it again if they are different it will won't be showing your IP so it will be anonymous. Is that what you mean?
tech_guy Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 Yaeh, but whatismyip.com shows my actual ip addy even with Tor ramped right up. Seems that site can detect proxies. Any other sites to try? What it's all about is me trying to find out how one of our little darlings did a wikipedia edit whilst on-site.
FN-GM Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 try it with this site http://www.iptwist.com i have just tested it at mine and they have shown to be different.
tech_guy Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 Sounds good I'll give it a try later thanks.
