Your transparent proxies are usually set by your isp... you can change them.

If you use the internet from a normal ISP and use windows IE and want to make your surfing faster I have a great proggie.

Basically it scans a pre-defined set of tranx-proxy's that you assign and finds the fastest out of them and updates your tranx-proxy IE settings automatically on and revolving basis.

Obviously not for those who are able to transverse an ISP's proxy matrix or add the list of proxys to the outgoing nat/routing table and let windows do the rest... this is net-newbie territory.

So how do I find say Elipse's proxy servers, think they only list one?

Soulgirl

cut and paste the one you know of here and I will root around for you

Jye

Soulgirl, the only one I can find for eclipse is proxy.eclipse.co.uk, or am I barking up the wrong tree here??

dsmith

If they're really transparent proxies - you cant change which one you use - its transparent to you i.e. no config on client pc. - which is how freeserve's work.

Of course if you have the proxy setting actually in IE, then that's different - but then they're not transparent.

Seems Eclipse's are transparent - so much so I cant find them LOL... they are not freely listed usually... most of the big providers are available on the net but I couldnt find much for your provider... you could always submit a support ticket and ask them for a list. Not sure they are at liberty to let you have them but you can always ask.

Soulgirl

Deano, they are transparent proxies in that by default you are assigned a local one by NTL (on port 80). However, by switching to port 8080 you can route to another. NTLs proxies get VERY overloaded on occasions and by pinging them all you can get a rough indication of which is the fastest to respond to your requests. (even though you have a 1Mbit connect, the speed you get is akin to a modem)

In laymans terms please.....

Soulgirl

Cant really put it any simpler than that.. you will have to read up about it... try google

Jye

Cheers Soulgirl, thanks for lookin anyhow

ChrisB

That's what you get for being on a Mickey Mouse ISP like NTL

No good taking the pi55 - some people dont get a choice and some dont even get that

ChrisB

Only jesting - I waited best part of two years for broadband

Handy to know if your local cache is killing your connection.

iain atkins

How about some proxies for my Lineone Anytime account

Cheers
