1.	Solve : How do I know if I'm still surfing through a proxy or my regular IP?
Answer» I use a laptop with a wireless connection, runs VISTA, and my default browser is Chrome. Recently there was a website that I wanted to get on that blocked my IP address. So, in order to view it, I used one of those INTERNET proxy sites to mask my IP, where you would just type in the URL. After viewing the site, I cleared my cache and rebooted my computer to delete any traces of the proxy. After this, I tried to get onto the site, and was able to, much to my surprise. So, my question is, how do I know if my computer is still using the proxy server, and not my REGULAR server? How do I make sure I am using my real IP and not the proxy IP??? Sorry if I used the wrong terminology. You went to the proxy it connected you through that to the site you asked for it to go to, that's it you're using your regular IP unless your still going to the proxy site. Sorry if my post is so confusing your connection is fine. EDIT: If you want to check your connection next time to see if its your regular IP go to www.Whatismyip.comThanks for the quick reply. The thing is, I'm able to go into the (forbidden) site normally now, even though I'm not typing the URL into the proxy site. I'm so confused!Why were you kicked from the site ? ? QUOTE from: patio on July 16, 2009, 06:40:01 AM Why were you kicked from the site ? ? It's a ridiculous, stupid story. Believe me, it's not interesting. But basically it was a forum, and the admin stated something as fact that I knew 100% to be false, so I corrected her on it, etc. she banned me. BOTTOM line is, I don't care to go to that site ever again, I just want to make sure that I'm using my own IP, not a proxy IP. I went to whatismyip.com but how do I know if that's my real IP?Do you have a hardware proxy? Most people don't. Quote I went to whatismyip.com but how do I know if that's my real IP? Copy your IP and paste it in the address bar. If you get a network error or a server timeout, it's more than likely your IP.
