hey guys, heres a prob

Im using a proxy to browse right, EVERY SITE I GO IT SHOWS the proxy IP. the proxy is 100% anonymous http..

however, on egold.com, after i login, it still uses my real internet connection and ignores the proxy..

How can a site ignore any kind of proxies and use the real connection?

why would you want to use a proxy for all that?
anyways, it's https. you're only using http proxy..

kaori is right on about the https port likely being why - most web-based anonymizer proxies don't handle https well, if at all.

With that said, be careful with anonymizer proxies ... some snoop the traffic and/or have setup on hacked servers, including in the middle east and china ... do you really want your private e-gold, banking, etc details flowing through such dodgy sites ...

Anonymizer proxies are overrated anyways ... if one really wants to find out who / where you are, they likely can ... many anonymizer proxies "leak" like a seave anyways ... but even if, hypothetically, you find one that works 100%, you still have to be very careful what your activity - posts, IMs, email, etc alone can often reveal much about a person and their activities, etc, especially if they post a lot as it appears you do.

The federal government sold anon proxies as a service and used them to take down the shadowcrew organization. FACT>
