iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 i think it is a common way. and i think it is easy to be discovered under some firewalls, and sometimes it is not safe. and i think it is better to leave the proxy bandwitch to the people who really need to use proxy servers.

hazeshow 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2005 It's not too easy to find a nice proxy list which will be working constantly, is it? One day a proxy lets you use it, next day it doesn't. And many of these free anonymous proxies really do slow down your internet connection's speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
