I was wondering if there was a way to test if a proxy was a "true" proxy. I have been told there is a filter proxy and a true proxy. The difference being that the true proxy is more secure. I have been told that a true proxy has a barrier of some sort or protocol shift within the proxy. [b]True proxy[/b]: browser->proxy [barrier or protocol shift] proxy->remote site connection [b]Filter proxy[/b]: browser->proxy -- proxy->remote site connection Thanks Brian
