Hello List!

I am a long time reader,  first time poster, and everything like that.

I use a proxy service that runs in my system tray, (the onion router,
and privoxy, in conjunction) and when i use this software, everything
works great. When i go to www.whatismyipaddress.com
<http://www.whatismyipaddress.com> however, it tells me that a proxy
server is detected.

How is it possible for them to detect that i am using a proxy?

(also, sometimes it can detect that i am using a proxy, and other times
it can not, although i use the same software all the time.)

Thanks in advance guys!
