For those of you who are using public proxies, be very careful. Public anonymous proxies sometimes switch and reveal your ip address which becomes a security issue after a while.
Here is a little experiment.
For those of you who have scrape box, do this:
1. Gather proxies using scrape box and do the anonymity check. Only use proxies that pass as anonymous.
2. Since most of you have scrape box running for a few hours before a blast is completed, do your regular routine of a blast.
3. After a few hours, you will notice that some of the very same ips that passed earlier as private anonymous proxies now switch and start revealing your ips.
4. To determine this, import the same proxies in bookmarking demon (or any proxy checking software) and do a connection test of the proxies. You will now notice that the very same list that you started with a few hours ago that WAS anonymous will show up in bookmarking demon as now revealing your real ips.
You can also recheck the same ips in scrapebox if you want. It will still show similar results.
If you are going to be using public proxies:
1. Use a VPN
2. Make sure all your tcp and internet data uses that connection for all softwares.
3. If the proxies stop working as anonymous, it will only reveal the ip address of the vpn and not your real ip address.
The only down fall in doing it this way is SPEED. Things will be much slower, but more safe for you.
For more advanced protection, you can use a router to server vpn. With this way, instead of relying on your computer's software alone, you can have the router connect directly to the vpn provider's server. This way your entire network will flow over the vpn connection.
