I just got a program called Hide IP Platinum 3.4. I don't really know how these things work, but I turned it on, it said it had found a proxy for me somewhere in China, showed a different IP than mine, but then, when I went to http://www.whatismyip.com, I saw my real IP!
I wanted to use the prog. because I have 2 accounts on Neopets and I play games on both, so I'd like to have different IP's for each, so that I don't get frozen. What can I do?

Hell. Since you posted here. Why not follow my guide?

[Sasha]

Hell. Since you posted here. Why not follow my guide?

Firstly, because I already had a program, so I didn't want to uninstall it and install these instead. And secondly, because I was unsure they actually were meant to do the same thing (hide ip) - the explanations got me a bit confused . But I've just followed your guide and now everything seems to be working fine. And awfully slowly .

Dumb question: programs available here will go through the proxy? (will the real ip be visible or not?)

[slwbe]

this is really awesome. and since you have written this, the tor link has you download a bundle of all the programs that you mentioned... very nice

Anyways this ''Tor'' thing is probably a normal proxy and not a ''elite'' proxy.

Elite=Undetectable but slower
Normal= Works also but can be detected

It's a guide, as long as the post is relevant (i.e. not spam) then there's nothing wrong with it.

How about you stop backseat moderating?

[Highly-Advanced-Cube]

Oh so i.e if i say wow this is an awesome guide it's not spam?
because thats what the ''gravedigger'' said.

And no I'm not a backseat moderator you only copied that from somebody else when i was acting like one.
In this case I'm merely saying to the person to watch out for the dates of topics because grave digging is not allowed.

Yo cata could you send me a privoxy config file please i think i messed mine up

[iNextGenWarrior]

Can this be used for runescape too?

[Warlord]

Step 1: Unplug modem.

Step 2: Plug modem in.

Step 3: There is no step 3.

[Cataliste]

That works for only a few people.

I have cable one and it doesn't work for me. Takes about 12 hours. I only know this because we had a power outage once.

[BinaryAttack]

have anyone tried if this bypass fortiguard? i don't want to try it in my office's com or they may find out.

[freakout0]

I followed the guide, and this works perfectly since I just got banned. It's pretty much the same thing as finding a proxy and putting it in your options, but I guess it's faster and easier. I still have a problem since most programs do not support proxy, and they can't login through my IP banned address... Any ideas about what can be done about this?

Tor isn't your normal proxy. Its purpose is as an anonymizer; as such, it will be hard for the Neopets admin to find out your original IP. That is to say, like your "elite" proxy, all your identifying information is stripped out. You can set up your own "elite" proxy quite easily with the right wherewithal; there's nothing special about it.

On the other hand, because Tor is basically a network of proxies, using a random one when the last one stops working (or on a timed event, e.g. switching a proxy every few minutes), it will be blatantly obvious to the Neopets admins that something might be fishy when your account starts from a Bolivian IP, goes to a Chinese IP in an hour, and then finishes up with some French IP.

Naturally, they don't even have to actually watch their log files for that; it's a simple coding exercise to screen out those types of accounts.

Use Tor at your own risk...

Cheers.

how fast is this in avg?

Wow very nicely said man. very nice.
can you explain how we can set up our own elite proxy with a wherewithal. It doesn't make sense to me

The easiest way is to tunnel your http traffic through SSH. It doesn't get rid of all the identifying marks, though; you'd want to set up a Squid proxy to help with that.

I'm currently doing this with a router in another country that's running Linux. There is more information on this online... It's obviously easier to set up if you've actually got a full server (Linux is easiest) on a second IP address. That's the "wherewithal" I'm talking about. Naturally, this technique doesn't work well to amass large numbers of proxies to use at your disposal; it's more suited for when you have a main cheat-free account and one that you're "experimenting" with.

On the other hand, if you can hijack your neighbor's Wifi, you can easily use that IP. Or, you can hijack it, and if you're lucky, replace the firmware with one that'll play well with proxying stuff through for you. Obviously, I'm not recommending this.

Cheers.

[Metigue]

Nice guide but theres alot of easier 1 click proxies out there that work for neo ^^

How do you even get IP banned anyway? I've been frozen like 900000 times, lol.
