Hi Folks,
OK, moving right along with this Sockschain thing...
Yes, the program works but there will have to be some serious proxy server hunting in order to optimize speed and avoid filtering. Right now it's like a bad 28K connection. Took a full 3 minutes to just get to this thread! Went to an adult site and got a lovely page saying "This site has been blocked by the American Family Filter". Waah! I'm very reluctant to use the "Socks Proxy Hunter" prog because I tried the other Proxyhunter just once and got a "concerned" letter from my ISP. Bleh!
Also, contrary to Sidki3003's suggestion I use the "auto-creating chain" option because my real IP comes up otherwise. I'm using IE 6 to test this all out and it's important to also list 127.0.0.1 in the exceptions box under the proxy config.
As for chaining Proxo (which I haven't tried yet) the developer recommends using the "Sockscap" prog -
http://www.socks.nec.com/reference/sockscap.html - which makes the process even more elaborate. Just read the help file as I'm sure you have.
Maybe after the rampant experimentation, I'll finally get some work done.
All the best.
