Elite proxy Switcher.....Hmmm
Hi.

I dont know much about proxies but wanted to try using one.
some one here said to download elite proxy server which i did. I scanned a heap of IPs in it, but most came up dead ( not working ) there was about 3 that were working, and they were level 1 highly annonymous ones.

I selected on of the working ones and double clicked on it to activate it in elite proxy switcher..

once its activated i can no longer searh in google. if i try it just says

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.....

as soon as i disable the proxy it works fine....whats going on ? ? ?

why is this happening....whats the point of using a proxy if you can no longer use the internet . Im confused, what am i doing wrong ? or is the elite proxy switcher programm thats the problem ?

Im using vista by the way.

pls help me solve this.

thanks

Jas

It is most likely incorrect proxy settings set by that program. I have never heard of it, however, if you want a good one i can recommend Hide My IP 2009, and i can tell you it works, only too good

thanks, i will give it a shot....

its not free though ? you know of any good free ones ?

Do not use public/scanned proxies.. it will only result to inconvenience. Use a SSH tunnel, its much faster and secure..

What is a " SSH Tunnel " ?? do You down load Them ? are They free ? and how do You set Them up ..??.

You have to download Putty(google it).. It's a SSH client, and you can set up a tunnel there..

Here's a quick tutorial: http://realprogrammers.com/how_to/se...ith_putty.html
