Using Proxy Servers

[Member #2001]

I am also interested in finding some way to plocl my IP address in order to keep Big Brother from seeing my emails, chat room conversations, webpages visited, and from giving out my personal data. Do proxy servers allow this to happen and if so which one would be site best to use?

Anonymizers work great for client side anonymous surfing.

But what Jackson is after is server side control so that anyone can get to the forum even in countries where it is restricted.

I believe in a country like Dubai (or China, etc.) which wants to restrict a website, it is difficult to give people access from the server side.

This is because those countries which restricts sites will normally have control over the ISP routing and also the DNS servers.

So it is relatively straightforward for them to block access to those IP addresses and domain names which they don't like.

They simply filter it at the ISP side. There isn't must you can do about it because the traffic must pass through the ISP DNS resolve and also routing system.

Anonymizers only make it invisible as to what site you are going to. But it does defeat an ISP blocking access to a site because the DNS simply won't resolve to the site and instead will be redirected to some "site blocked" page.

A web based proxy is simply another website which will act as a name proxy for the forum and will make requests to the forum on behalf of a user. Since the web-based proxy does not live inside the ISP network, it will not be recognized as accessing the forum site by the ISP.

So forum members will need to know the web or IP address of the proxy to access in order to get to the forum.

Of course this becomes a cat and mouse game because the authorities will eventually discover this IP address and block it and you will have to create a new one.

Essentially, some of these anonymizers operate there own web-based proxies so they do the job which Jackson is looking for. But it is up to the individual member to know to access the forum when he is in one of the countries where access to the forum site is restricted.

Just enter any of the above IPs and port in your browser's internet connection settings. Not all proxies are running 24/7, so if one shouldn't work just use another one.

Here a few websites to check if the anomizer or proxy works as desired.
Compare your IP with and without using the anomizer/proxy.

i think jackson is talking about these services, which are called cgi proxies, or more confusingly, webproxies:
http://www.anonymizer.com/
http://www.the-cloak.com/login.html
https://www.megaproxy.com/freesurf/
http://www.space.net.au/~thomas/quickbrowse.html
there's a whole list of these
http://www.zensur.freerk.com/#4.5

if an internet cafe ban isg, it's silly not to ban these services as well. at least uae will do better than a small cafe owner.

on the other hand, vpn isn't banned in china. i don't see much difference between a private company network and these cgi proxies installed in your friend's computers.

however, a new 'proxy' has a life of 30 minutes before it's detected and banned in china. i'm not sure what 'proxy' it means.

for the free services, the contents are not usually encrypted, which isn't important in an internet cafe. but most free service don't allow you to post anything. you have to pay for that.

there are better experimental free services with grand aims. but you have to download software, or setup proxy etc. i don't think downloading is a problem with high speed connections in cafes, especially if you don't need to setup an account using credit card, and pay for the anonymous service. like a firefox extension can be downloaded and installed by about one click.

one may not be able to install software in an internet cafe, but some software are 'green', that you can 'run' without install.

jap looks like the us tor system. now they work with each other too. jap may work as not many people knows about it; few traffic, no harm done yet. but tor has lots of problems.

tor used to be sponsored by the electronic frontier foundation, but not anymore. many webmasters and services ban the tor middle servers beccause of its success. a traceable ip is the main deterent to prevent all sorts of attacks. tor erased that. banning the jap system is trivial by comparison.

surprisingly, tor isn't banned in china. but my experience is that it's slow, especially after the eff withdrawal support.

paid cgi proxy services not only hide your ip, but also usually encrypt the content, so nobody knows what you are reading. tor and jap offers better protection, free, but slower. paid proxy services is a single point service and hence easier to ban.

the more basic strategy is to use the numerous public proxies in the world, many are left open to the public by webmasters by mistake. a large list is maintained at http://www.samair.ru/proxy/ i don't know if this basic method works in uae. because if say the isp monitor the content of your browser traffic, they know what you are reading. but this consumes a lot more recourses than monitoring which website you are visiting. but i think if you just want to access isg, that will work. but don't try it if you know someone is monitoring you personally.

but as i mentioned above, a new 'proxy' has a life of 30 min in china.

also i think you can use a two tier approach - use one of the numerous proxies to get to the outside world, and then via one of the fewer paid services to encrypt content. if this cannot be done now, it's easy to get it done. if proxies doesn't work and 'web-based' services doesn't work, there's nothing you can do about it.

the problem with a single proxy is that it's highly unreliable. the list owners scan the ip of the whole world to find the proxies. so the list is very not update even though it's updated everyday. the system administrator may discover the mistake when the traffic through it increases, and hence close the proxy. when the people in the country of the proxy server wake up, the server can be slowed down a lot. some proxy limits the bandwidth of each user. one minute the proxy is as fast as a direct connection, but a few minutes later, the proxy may grind to a halt. some proxy forward your ip to your destination server. some proxy tell your destination server that it's a proxy. some proxy keep everything secret (but not perfect).

to be usable, some software is needed to import the published list of proxies at the click of a button. scan each proxy for response time, and the information it leaks to the destination server, and whether the proxy support posting which is relatively few. this testing of proxy should be continuously done to select the fastest one to use. and rotate the proxies to avoid detection. and in internet cafe, the start up time should be short, allowing surfing as soon as a decent proxy is found.

since a single proxy is used, this method is faster than any of the other more complicated methods. also several proxies can be used simutanously to speed things up.

usually the sites listing public proxies also sell these softwares to use them. but without free trial i won't buy them.

one free software is multiproxy that is reasonably good, meeting a few of the above requirements but not all. however, it's sort of a spyware itself. now they don't spend money on a fast server so the spying becomes obvious.

i got my hands on some internal software that is pretty good. but is there a mass market for that? how many copy can be sold for say $20 each? if there's over one thousand potential users, there's no problem of bringing that sort of software to market in a short time - i tried it.

being uae, i think it should be at least $40 a piece. what's the population? what else do they ban? porn sites? wow, that's $50. but do they still chop off something if you get caught accessing banned sites?

the only method that cannot be banned is p2p, which creates a huge numbers of dynamic exit points if the number of users are huge. tor has some p2p characteristics. i2p is another, but slower. in china, free ultrasurf works http://www.ultrareach.com/company/download.htm speed is not bad. the strange thing is that it appears as a standard proxy. you may be able to circumven censorship, but your real ip is revealed to the destination server!

piper, watch the video forum for your answers.

In Dubai, I use jap.exe It's a free service and works well, but occasionally is "down" for maintenance, and sometimes slow if too many users.

I recently started using another proxy list, but often it allows me to read only (not make posts), depending on the one I use from the lists. The available proxy services on these lists vary from day to day (some die off completely, some work only temporarily).

The problem with announcing available proxy site addresses is that they will soon become blocked.

Proxy / anonymizer services are banned in the UAE (once they are detected by the ISP here), so users need to download them from outside the UAE or from selected "free-zone" areas in the UAE first.

I have used an anonymous proxy server at work to access my commercial web mail accounts because my employer elected to block them. I used a commercial service called proxify.com and it was very convenient and easy to do. Just type in the address, "https://www.proxify.com" into the address window in Internet Explorer (or any web browser). The proxy service acts as a relay, or buffer, to the Internet, hiding your IP address and activity from anyone trying to monitor your activity. Just be sure to type "https" (NOT "http" - don't forget the "s") to keep things secure and anonymous.

For example, after starting proxify com securely, if you want to visit internationalsexguide.info, type in http://www.internationalsexguide.info into the proxify.com window within your browser's window. Your browser should always stay in SECURE mode, which you can verify with the "locked padlock" symbol at the bottom of your browser's window. If your browser leaves secure mode, you run the risk of being logged visiting a restricted website, so don't forget and type the web address into the wrong window. All information between your computer and the proxy server is encrypted so no one else can intercept and read the information, as long as your browser stays in secure mode. When the data reaches your computer it is unencrypted so you can read it.

Anonymous proxy services often require an annual fee. My experiences with the anonymous proxy subscription services have been very good. The cost is reasonable and it doesn't require installation of any new software (which might not be possible on a network computer, unless you have administrator privileges).

One problem that still might occur is if someone (such as a network administrator) has installed a keystroke logging program or some type of spyware on your computer so they can actually read your computer's keyboard activity or your computer's desktop. A network administrator can also harvest cookies placed on any network computer and read browser history caches, which might raise some red flags.

if you're accessing blocked sites over an employer's network, with his equipment and software, it would probably be best to have your own independent browser software running on a USB drive to minimize leaving a trail that the administrator might find. I've seen thumb drives for sale that have browser software already loaded. I think proxify.com had such a drive for sale but it probably wouldn't be difficult to set one up on a blank thumb drive. Big USB hard drives are fairly cheap but a large drive would attract more attention in the office than a thumb drive would.

In any case, it's always good housekeeping to erase your browser's history cache and any cookies when you're finished, if you're concerned about privacy.

It is possible to create your own anonymous internet proxy server by setting up a computer with the proper software. I would like to try this and if someone has knowledge or experience I'd be interested.

Greetings everyone,

To foil the internet cafes (like Kinkos) and a few countries (like China and Thailand) who attempt to block access to the Forum, I have written a page detailing the use of Proxy Servers, which you should review before posting here.

http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...oxyservers.php

This thread is for Forum Members to discuss the subject in further detail.

Thanks,

Jackson
