Proxy - IP:Port proxy

Definition

A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. It is specified by his IP and a port (e.g. 241.12.132.78:8080), under which the proxy server is accessible. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.

Difference IP:Port proxy <> Web-Proxy

A IP:Port proxy works different from a webproxy - an IP:Port proxy works with all applications that support proxy-use, and that's a big plus compared to webproxies, which only work within your browser, and nowhere else. With IP:Port proxies you won't have the compatibility issues and limitations of a webproxy, like Java and Flash-issues on certain websites, or that you can't register or login at a website, or problems with captcha codes. IP:Port proxies can fully emulate add-ons and plugins like Java, Flash, Silverlight, etc.
A webproxy, on the other hand basically just forwards the internet to your browser, showing the websites you visit through it a different IP. Nothing more.
See the article "Webproxy" for more info's web-proxies.

What is Flash?

Adobe Flash (formerly SmartSketch FutureSplash, FutureSplash Animator and Macromedia Flash) is a multimedia platform used to add animation, video, and interactivity to web pages. Flash is frequently used for advertisements, games and cartoon serials. Flash manipulates vector and raster graphics to provide animation of text, drawings, and still images. It supports bidirectional streaming of audio and video, and it can capture user input via mouse, keyboard, microphone, and camera.

Why do I need Flash?

There are lots of applications and websites that won't work unless you have Flash installed, and more are created every day. Flash is fast, secure, and reliable. From laptops over cell phones to the Internet, Flash is everywhere. You need flash to see the web as it is, without Flash the web would still be text+logos. It brought real animation to a place that was very monotone.

Why should I have the latest version?

The latest Flash version contains important enhancements to improve performance, stability and security of the Flash applications that run on your machine. Installing the latest version will ensure that your Flash applications continue to run safely and efficiently. If your computer is somewhat older and Flash takes all system resources, an update may improve the performance of Flash. Keep also in mind that running older versions of any software, and especially software like Flash, is a security risk.
You should regularly update Flash for avoid bad things like getting hacked, computer crashes, instability, performance slowdown, etc.

Where to get Flash

You can download the latest version of Flash and Shockwave for your computer at the official website:

Privacy & Flash

When using proxies (IP:Port proxies or Webproxies), your real IP can be revealed by Flash. This means, every website that uses Flash can identify you online. You can test this @ IP-score.com.
To avoid this, you can disable Flash either in your browser's settings (in case you're using IP:Port proxies).
Or disable Flash in the settings of your webproxy (*[http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy/ @ "Advanced option")

The same goes for Java, Silverlight, Windows Media Player and several other plugins/add-ons. They all might reveal your real identity. The reason for this is that a usual proxy works only within your browser; but plugins and add-ons work like independent applications, so your proxy may get ignored by them.

Note: This can happen only with webproxies and IP:Port proxies. When using HMA's Pro VPN service, your real IP will be safe in these cases.

What is user's online identity

What's my "online identity"? Your online identity is everything another computer can find out about you; this begins with things like display resolution, used browser, username… and ends with things like the country you live in, your internet provider and maybe even the city you live in. There are several ways how someone can find out this about you, and also many ways how to hide this info from other. For example: The following iframe knows a lot about you: IP, state, city, internet provider (ISP), local time, browser, display resolution, DNS-server On Windows, and DNS server ON Mac, language, operating system, installed plugins, and much more…

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Loading... <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ ip_score_wdg_tcolor = "#331111";ip_score_wdg_bcolor = "#ffffff";ip_score_wdg_bold_tcolor = "#000066";ip_score_wdg_border_tcolor = "#000000";ip_score_wdg_border_color = "#000000";ip_score_wdg_width = "222px";ip_score_wdg_font_size = "13px";ip_score_wdg_line_height = "13px"; // ]]></script> <script src="http://www.ip-score.com/api/widget/ip-score-widget/all:bl:host:isp" type="text/javascript"></script> See http://www.ip-score.com for more Info.

What can I do to hide this information about me? The best way to hide this data and to protect his online identity and privacy is to use the HideMyAss Pro VPN Service. It's safer, faster and more reliable than any proxy service, has full compatibility with all kinds of internet-applications. The websites that are tracking you down will then fail, 'cause they'll only see the VPN, not you. You can also use a lot of different tools to protect your identity and online privacy: For certain details that you don't want to share with everbody, there are plugins and apps like Adblock Plus (Firefox extension): https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Ghostery (Firefox exension): https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/ghostery/ Spybot S&D (Windows app): http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html Ad-Aware Free (Windows app): http://tinyurl.com/adaware-free-download Peerblock (Windows app): http://peerblock.googlecode.com/files/PeerBlock-Setup_v1.1_r518.exe XP-Antispy (Windows app): http://www.xp-antispy.org/index.php/en/download See more tools @ Downloads

Golden Frog VyprVPN Review

Golden Frog VyprVPN

We reviewed Golden Frog VyprVPN to see how it compared to other leading personal VPN services and were impressed by a number of features
that set it apart from its competitors.

Golden Frog VyprVPN- No 3^rd party servers

Other VPN services employ hosted server solutions that use third parties. Golden Frog uses their own server clusters that offer greater reliability and performance. For example, if a server has an outage, the user automatically gets connected to another server in the cluster.
Server clusters also make it easier to connect to Golden Frog VyprVPN. Rather than having to scroll through a long list of servers, we were able to simply select a location to establish a connection.
VyprVPN’s server clusters ensure that servers are never overloaded or unavailable. Golden Frog writes their code, and their entire VPN server infrastructure is built around state-of-the-art hardware. They have dedicated in-house network engineers available 24x7x365 to ensure Golden Frog’s VyprVPN operates at peak performance.

Golden Frog VyprVPN- NAT Firewall

The NAT Firewall blocks unrequested inbound traffic when you’re connected to VyprVPN, preventing third parties from exploiting security vulnerabilities. No additional configuration or software is required because the NAT Firewall runs on the VyprVPN servers. NAT Firewall protects any device connected to VyprVPN.

Golden Frog VyprVPN- Bonus Feature: 5 GB of Free Online Secure Storage
Accessing files from wireless hotspots can be dangerous. Golden Frog gives all Golden Frog VyprVPN users 5GB of free secure online storage via Dump Truck (another Golden Frog product) to securely store and share files, photos, documents and videos with other users and devices.

Golden Frog VyprVPN- Final thoughts
Golden Frog VyprVPN is a powerful personal VPN with truly unique features and it is easy to see why VyprVPN is a leader in the Personal VPN market. The creators of VyprVPN, Golden Frog, are Internet veterans who have owned and operated Internet businesses since the dawn of the public Internet in 1994. We particularly like that Golden Frog uses their own servers and do not outsource to third parties. In our opinion, VyprVPN is the best approach to protecting your security and privacy online
