proxy server question

[Kevin06906]

Alright, i went to www.stayinvisible.com and i picked out a proxy server in Italy and i have it for Internet explorer, i put in the ip address and the port number and works fine.

Now it is different if you were trying to put a proxy on AIM or Kazaa lite. You have to give the Host name and the port number.

My question is: Where do i find the host?

I have trouble knowing what the host is. I already tried clicking the WHOIS on stayinvisible.com and copying and pasting the Server name into the host name section on AIM, but it won't connect. (i guess because its the server name and not the host name) but i'm trying to do whatever i can.

If someone also knows about the authentication username and password in the kazaa lite firewall, can you please explain what that is to? or give me a website so i can read about it?

For AIM....

I've never done this, as it is just a theory...

1 - Set AIM's sever up as 'localhost' or the actual local host IP.
2 - Use a program that allows you to route through an IP to another IP/DNS
3 - Set said program up to route localhost calls from AIM through a proxie with AIM's port number as its connect port and back to AIM's servers.

For Kazaa...couldn't tell ya..plus it's a waste if the proxy is slow as hell or goes off line all the time. You'd be uploading/downloading at a rate so slow...file sharing and getting wouldn't be worth the broadband your paying for.

I actually set up kazaa on a proxy last and it worked but it did suffer a speed hit. You have to use a socks 5 proxy for it to work. I would also suggest regularly changing the proxy because they go down and it's safer to not tie yourself down to one proxy all the time.

what u want to get is multiproxy. i used it but like previously said, it cannot be used for p2p and several other apps. for kazaa u need a socks5 proxy, most proxies are just http. all is explained at this site (http://www.multiproxy.com) i think. not at my pc so guessing the link off the top of my head:wings

using a proxy on p2p is a bad idea as it slows your download down ridiculously.

also bear in mind that when you use a proxy everything you do is routed through a third party, and how do you know you can trust the third party?

having said this, it is a very good idea to use a proxy when visiting zeropaid.com, given that a certain moderator has been known to abuse zeropaid.com's privacy policy by posting ip addrssses in the public forum.

Thanks guys, i got the AIM proxy working.

Also you said that Kazaalite needs a SOCKS5 server, Do you know where i can get one?

I know you guys said that it slows down the file transfers a lot, but i want to try it out.
