AnonXO,
In the past, I've wasted my money buying into low level Proxy Servers such as the "Anonymizer Tool Bar" (http://www.anonymizer.com). I found that when I tried to go to many internet sites, or log onto some sites for mail, etc. I was refused because my IP address was not presented. Will this problem exist if surfing through your servers?

Sorry for the dup post.
That's a good question. Can we instruct your program to allow certain traffic to go without proxies so as not to confuse regular sites we go to such as this forum? I also had that problem with a proxy program.
Also, I saw in one of the previous posts that our data transfers will be encrypted. I just wanted to confirm whether or not it is encrypted before the isp gets it. The post seemed to suggest that our isp will not be able to see (at least specifically what the file is) the traffic either way.
Thanks

that's what is so special about this service
it uses virtual private network to connect to the proxy server, which compresses and encrypts your connection completely. Not even ur isp has a clue what you are doing. ;)
no matter what web based program you run, browser, p2p, emails, your ip will be the proxy ip not ur own.
if you wanna use certain service without proxy, simply turn it off ;)
services like anonymizer uses similar proxy system but it's only good for web browsing, not for p2p. and it also blocks cookies so when you go to certains sites you are not allowed to view content. However the ip is NEVER "blocked", it only shows the ip of the proxy you are connected to :lol:
Second questin first,
The traffic between AnonX servers and you is encrypted (128-Bit Stateless.)
The traffic between AnonX servers is bundled and encrypted 2192-Bit Statless.
Frist question
This is a tuff one. I don not recomment this practice, but you can do it. The idea is to port forward curtain types of traffic. Which is possible with XP/2000 but not 98 and ME. It is very easy on a Linux Box.
You can run into the a number of problems. Two of them are
A. If you use random ports with your p2p app you may land on the open port and be exposed.
B. Two if you are a heavy user RIAA or others might be able to expolit the hole by monitoring web site traffic. Trust me SONY can and has hacked routers to find people. That why you are only safe if the data is encrypted between you and AnonX.
and you forward these ports how? on the server side? client side? on my router? :huh:
i run my bt ports high above 10000 range in the past to avoid random isp scans but ineffective against other ppl getting my ip.
so it's a bad thing to mess with bt port settings?
Client side.
Seconly from experince, ISP scan looking for high traffic based on ip then do a complete port scan. They block KNOWN p2p ports and some others to prevent unwanted traffic. ISPs do this not because they are trying to find you but because they realize that p2p eats up alot of bandwidth and they want to maximize the amount of customers they can put on a pipe. Tracking people is a pain in the butt... and ISPs don't want to get envolved unless they told to.

so if i mess with my bt ports and land on "open port" and be "exposed" meaning other ppl can track me now? while using anonx?
i am not sure what you mean :huh:
AnonXO,
I guess I need some clarification also. My understanding is that EVERYTHING from my side must first go through the ISP. This must be true. How else could it reach the Proxy? If that is the case, how can my IP show as the Proxy's IP such that my ISP will not know what is going on?
This is especially meaningful for me, since my ISP is one of the major players in the RIAA consortium.
If the answer is that my ISP will not know what is going on, then I'm gonna look into buying some stock in your company.
