anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
Hello
Since switching to virgin broadband I find that free anonymous proxies no longer work in either int ex or firefox I've checked the lan config in int ex and the settings in firefox to no avial any suggestions or are VM doing something to block them? |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
What proxy have you tried using, and what port do you need to specify?
Welcome to the forum :) |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
Hi thanks for the welcome Toto
Lots of different proxies with many different port numbers none of them work now. I have my own list but for example none of the proxies on proxy4free.com which I've tried work whereas they do on a friends isp |

tried opera and it gave this message Problem Report Access denied to system because of URL Filter Configuration, while attempting to retrieve the URL: Message ID FILTER_DENIED Problem Description Your system was configured to deny access to this URL. Possible Problem Cause Request denied, as specified in the local filter list configuration. Possible Solution Contact your network support team if this problem persists. I don't get it I tried disabling firewall for a minute so its not that. |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
Working fine here in warrington via a proxy from that site
You appear to be on a Virgin Media Connection Your IP address is 81.102.**.*** Host cpc2-warr1-0-0-cust***.bagu.cable.ntl.com Your Proxy IP address is 222.89.67.10 This is not a known Virgin Media Proxy Server 222.89.67.78:8080 |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
I hadn't tried that one
Thanks its actually working, extremely slowly but nontheless working I've just tried another port 8080 and it is ok as well albeit very slow Wonder why all the others aren't working ? |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
Anon proxies will only work if they operate on ports other than port 80 (once installed a free coverdisc version of steganos internet anonym and it was useless since half the proxies it used were on port 80 and could not be filtered out of the list)
The error message you have given above suggests that the particular proxy you were trying to use was not allowing you access, or was not allowing access to the site you were trying to reach. |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
If you are exNTL then you should remove proxies and use Direct Internet Connection instead. Announcement was made a couple of days ago,

Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
I've found a few that work but they are all terminally slow and thus unusable because of that.
I mainly use direct connection but I also use free anonymous proxies for rapidshare - or rather I was doing so happily until now ;) |
Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
Still rubbish - tried dozens more with many different port numbers
on 2 different pc's and 0/S's, 3 browsing platforms and with/ without router, with/without firefall. Very few proxies work for me and when they do they are dial up speeds Gave hide IP platinum a try several times and whilst its logo spun as it accessed the net o'k and I could see it trying to get a proxy in my firewall network activity window, it didn't connect to a proxy either! As its not a general problem for VM users I can't think what to try |

Re: anon proxies not working on virgin broadband
There are mentions of it all around the web but i haven't seen any specifics.
I tried some of their proxies and they still work fine So why don't non ntl/virgin proxies? |
