Anyone out there have a good knowledge of Proxy servers? I have a couple questions if you do.

 

[Vimana]

Yes, I use them a lot at school.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

What do you need to know? There's a reasonable chance I could help ye.

 

[Vimana]

If its how to get on one without it being blocked its pretty easy.

Instead of typing: http://proxynamehere.com
You type: https://proxynamehere.com

 

[King Richard]

Well, I want to know do these proxy servers actually mask your ip or do they allow you access to certain things even if your ip is banned.

There is this game a friend of mine plays and he was "sitebanned," meaning they banned his ip. He uses a program called Zmud to connect to it and he wants to know if he uses a proxy server would he be able to connect still since his ip wouldn't come up when he attempts to connect to the host.

 

[The Ozzman]

Tell him to go to another server. Problem solved.

 

[King Richard]

There's only one server.

 

[Zephyrus]

My old high school blocked all the proxy sites.

Though there's some missing information here I'm going to go ahead and say that everything should most definitely be fine.

Make your own.

Using https instead of http will get past it, most of the time it will.

 

[Zephyrus]

Good thing I graduated and went to a college with unrestricted internet access.

Request a new IP from your ISP.

 

[Valerie]

I'm fairly certain I get a new IP each time my modem turns off and back on.

 

[waif]

and he got kicked from it? Not sure I want to help him back on.

What game?

 

[King Richard]

No you don't.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

She might. That's called a dynamic IP address and is pretty cool. But you need a static one to use a wireless connection iirc.

 

[King Richard]

This is true.

 

[Valerie]

No you don't.

Stupid

 

[Vilden]

But you don't get a new a IP each time with dynamic either, usually you just reuse your old own if it is istill available.

 

[Ender Rises]

True.

Go with the proxy server. It should do the trick, and if it doesn't, request a new IP from the ISP.
