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 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.)
One other option would be to have a list of IP addresses of proxies handy, and perform a simple lookup. Joachim _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
