proxy?


Recommended Posts

Posted

A proxy is a program running on a different computer in an attempt to take a different path from you to some destination, like driving a different road. This new path is not guaranteed to be shorter than the normal path, but it may be useful to route your data around a problem spot. Continuum supports SOCKS5 proxies. You would need to know someone running a SOCKS5 proxy, and they would have to be located in a topologically favorable location.

 

Proxies can also be used to "tunnel" through a firewall for better security.

I think Ekted's reply should be in the main install file for Continuum. Sooooo many people don't understand what a poxy is or does. I answer the same question about proxies every week.
