    I googled "http proxies" I think it was when I tried setting it up. Couldn't seem to get it to work properly, however you may want to see what you can find.

    Hi Hpnotiq, ;)

    You have to set up your browser to utilize it. Manually configure your proxy connection for HTTP & SSL - 127.0.0.1 on port:8080 (See Attachment: Which shows FireFox as an Example).

    If you need help setting up a specific browser, let us know which one and we can direct you. ;)

    OK lets say my computer doesn't use 127.0.0.1 as local address and something else, would i use that?

    This isn't in reference to a network IP address, like a LAN? Are you refering to connecting to your router @ ie. 192.168.0.1? Your localhost can only be 127.0.0.1 -or- 0.0.0.0, as far as I know. Could you be a little more specific?

    Well here in the DR, i remember having a problem like a week ago installing some software which changed my internets settings to 127.0.0.1 and i called Customer support and they told me why i had changed it and gave me another number... my internet then started to work normal...
    when i type in ipconfig /all
    i get this:
    Windows IP Configuration

    If your using a controlled Network - you do have to set Proxomitron to use the assigned remote proxy and assigned Port. But you will still setup your browser as the above ... and Proxomitron will connect with the remote proxy.

    Which you configure in Proxomitron (See Attachment).

    I'm assuming this is a corp. network? You'll have to ask your IT Dept. especially if they're using a script, to manage the connection/configuration settings. But it may just be, manually entered into your browser.

    How is your browser currently configured to connect to the Net?

    Tools -> Options ... Select General in the Left Pane ... then Connection Settings ... What is listed in there ... Does it have something like an IP and Port like The Attachment has?

    Mine is on Direct Connection to the internet and it has nothing on HTTP and SSL

    Where it says No Proxy it says the same thing you have but its not enabled

    OK, then set it up just like mine then. Never mind the remote proxy setting in Proxomitron you don't need it then. If you have any problems, just change it back to a direct connection ... test it out and report back, OK?

    Ps. Make sure Proxomitron is running, or you'll get a "Can't Connect" message.

    So just to review:

    Change the setting to Manual Proxy Configuration (Check off)

    For HTTP & SSL use 127.0.0.1 ... Port 8080

    For No Proxy - localhost, 127.0.0.1

    Isn't Proxymitron supposed to spoof the IP alone?

    ~Snip by dog :p~ .... like it can spoof your OS, browser type etc. You can use Kye-U's filters to block known unpatched Exploits etc. The standard filters will block things like ads etc. and there are a few custom filters, like Sidki's, JD5000, Kye-U's that will block a lot of things ... If you would like to check them out I can Post some links?

    LOL ... I stand corrected Thanks Kye-U {Master}. ;) (regarding ~Snip~) ^_^

    Proxomitron cannot "spoof your IP" - if you want to hide your IP address from websites you visit you need to use a proxy server.

    Jakx's spoofing filters are designed to fool sites that try to identify if you are using a proxy or not (like Leader's Whois), they do not prevent websites from logging your real IP address if you are not using a proxy.

    So Proxomitron does all this but my other programs like Ewido, NOD32, ProcessGuard, Qwik-Fix Pro, do not?

    Also, What's Proxomitrons main purpose? Just blocking a few things that may be harmful on websites?

    For Jakx Script, is there anything in there that may conflict with normal browsing?
