Proxy Question
Hey, I won't get into the messy details here, but basically I play an online game that displays what the game calls "IPvSK," a number that I think is made up, but is nonetheless based on your IP number (i.e. to change the IPvSK, you have to change your IP number).

The problem with this is that players can be identified through their IPvSK, which is no fun when trying to hide from your enemies! :-p

So I need a fast and easy way to change my proxy. I've tried various websites, but its extremely hard to find one that can run the game properly, and I'm always bombarded with pop-ups (and who knows what else) when I use them.

I downloaded elite proxy switcher a long time ago, but it confuses me...

So I'll leave solutions up to you guys. I'd be willing to try the proxy switcher again if you all think its a good idea, but I'd need help in knowing how to run it.

Using a web-site proxy doesn't let you do all that much. The ones that I've used didn't let me use things like Flash, and several other features commonly encountered on web pages. I would say you probably won't be able to play your online game through a proxy.

its a text-based online game. I think it runs a bit of java (maybe?) for some aspects like where you can hover your mouse over something and information pops up, but that's about it.

No video to look at, the only pictures are avatars. I think a proxy should be able to work here, just need a good one to try.
