Hello members,

What is a proxy?

A server that sits between a client application, such as a Web browser, and a real server. It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real server.

Proxy servers have two main purposes:
# Improve Performance: Proxy servers can dramatically improve performance for groups of users. This is because it saves the results of all requests for a certain amount of time. Consider the case where both user X and user Y access the World Wide Web through a proxy server. First user X requests a certain Web page, which we'll call Page 1. Sometime later, user Y requests the same page. Instead of forwarding the request to the Web server where Page 1 resides, which can be a time-consuming operation, the proxy server simply returns the Page 1 that it already fetched for user X. Since the proxy server is often on the same network as the user, this is a much faster operation. Real proxy servers support hundreds or thousands of users. The major online services such as Compuserve and America Online, for example, employ an array of proxy servers.
# Filter Requests: Proxy servers can also be used to filter requests. For example, a company might use a proxy server to prevent its employees from accessing a specific set of Web sites.

Why do we need Proxy's?

For safetyness , and secure downloading. (IE. RapidShare. )

I use a tool called ProxyFinder, I cant find a download link for the trial version, however it can spit out a list of a few thousand proxies at a time...But the problem is that most of the proxies I find have already been used by rapidshare that hour.

Is there anywhere where the list of proxies hasn't been used by rapidshare for the most part yet???

[ShadowCast]

Yeh i have used proxy finder too, it scans google for proxies in its meta search =)

Hai,

I want to get the IP Address of Web Sites.. For example http://www.somesite.com can be accessible thru http://201.20.23.10/
I am using IE 7 and Firefox 2.0

We can view in IE status bar while the page start loading.. But this also very few seconds.

Is there Plugin/Add on for this to Firefox??

Thanks..

Nothing's easier than it. Open a command prompt and enter

CODE

ping www.site.com

Of course replace www.site.com with the site you want to get its ip.
