for example: My machine says my IP address is 192.168.0.6. Whatsmyipaddress.com says no, it is 24.160.92.208. That address maps to a house about 2 miles from mine (search 24.160.92.208 on Bing). Reverse IP shows that is a server fed from another 2 miles from that, same IP (dynamic) and that is fed by 65.32.5.111 which is the DNS and this hosts all the downstream clients and its IPv4 address is, 24.160.92.208. FOllowing the path ends up in Redmond WA, then in DC at the Washington Post. Is there a reason someone would be monitoring your machine? I think they are.

The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes. Confirmed Proxy Server
