My default proxy (Cardiff) is crap at the moment, in fact it has been for the last week or so. I'm now using a Bristol proxy which is much faster. For example, the index for these forums takes about 40 seconds to fully load using my default proxy, compared with about 3 seconds when using the Bristol one.

Anyway, two questions if I may...

Should I stay using the Bristol proxy, or should I check now and again to see if my default one is working properly? Is it likely to be a temporary problem, and is it a problem if I carry on using someone else's proxy?

I use eDexter with a hosts file to block ads and other crap. But it doesn't block them when using a proxy, although I ticked the option to bypass the local machine address. Is there a way to get this to work?

Thanks.
