Re: [Solved] Proxies
Strictly speaking, AbyssUnderground, it is possible not to use a proxy with ntl, but only when they don't put you on one. If they put you on one, that's it - you can change it, but not access without one.
For example, when I finally got broadband with them, a couple of years or so ago, they didn't put me on a proxy. I'm a bit miffed ATM because they've just put me on one...

Re: [Solved] Proxies
OK. Thanks for the reply. I think I'd prefer to be behind one anyway because it makes it more difficult for people to get my real IP. Hosting a website makes it even less inviting because I'm likely to get DDoSed by people because they know they have a chance of killing the server/connection.
Thats not happened as of yet but people have had a very good go at it.

People could still get hold of your real IP address if they program their sites in such away to obtain your real IP address.

Re: [Solved] Proxies
here's my anomylous link
www.mysite.com/leechrealip.php
Could be done through a PHP script dead easily and if someone gave you a link to something in a PHP script or other it would be really easy to record your real IP as well as the proxy IP if wanted.

A common misconception, helped by lazy coding on some sites. The Proxy actually passes on both it's own IP and yours. Click "Connection" in the top bar above for a demo.

Re: [Solved] Proxies
I know its possible but the php script i use on www.abyssunderground.co.uk/ip gets the proxies IP and not my real one.
Its also easy to get my ip by pinging my url, but it helps prevent people from doing these things.

Re: [Solved] Proxies
Not all proxies do this, however the NTL ones at least do.
