It still picks up my home country?

[Greg135]

Hey there,

Here are the steps I followed:

- OK I clicked on a Level 1 proxy for the US
- I disabled Foxyproxy
- I then checked the proxy via the "IP to Country" tool

But when I typed in the url for the required site, it still picks up that I'm from my home country??

What am I missing?

Any advice is greatly appreciated...

Regards

Did you see the proxy in the right bottom of your Firefox?



You can also check your IP here:
http://www.my-proxy.com/show-what-ip

u may try something like FreeCup program. U must fill in the proxy there and add ur Firefox into the program list.

Hey Terry,

Yes, I first made sure the proxy was in the bottom corner of Firefox.

Then, I tested the proxy at http://www.my-proxy.com/show-what-ip

And only then did I attempt to get hold of the required web address......

Any ideas?

Regards

Hey anyproxy,

I've searched for the software that you mentioned but can't find it anywhere....

Do you have a link to it?

To surf the "show-what-ip" page is a manual way to test the proxies.
EPS already does that for you automatically.
You can just use the proxies that are marked as Level 1 by EPS.

OK that clears up a misunderstanding on my part....

However, do you have any idea as to why the required web page still picks up my home country even though I'm going through a L1 proxy?

Thanks...

There is some problem with that proxy.
You may test it again, it becomes Level 3.
Please switch to another Level 1 proxy.
