A proxie is a way to surf the net without divulging your IP address....And if you didn't know, your IP address is like your home address but for your computer.....If you knew someones IP address you could find them the same as if you knew their home address......Instead of using Internet explorer, Firefox...etc, to surf the internet, go to a proxy site and type your internet search into the search bar at the proxy site.....then all information about your IP address gets filtered by the proxy site and you can surf the internet without anyone knowing where you are (more importantly who you are)

I think I will look into one also.

Government? Police? ????

Ive tried a few...they all work about the same...just search for free internet proxy....It slows down your surfing a little bit as whatever you search for has to be rerouted through the proxy...Enjoy

Oh shit!

Now that I am totally spooked I feel so much better.

OMG! You serious

JohnnyBravo said:

Police agencies in general....there are plenty of free proxy sites on the internet....You should switch them up alot.....I read in another thread that police would have to get warrants for every proxy site that you use to make a case against you....Highly unlikely that they would waste the resources, getting all those warrants to search your internet communication. Especially for someone growing a couple plants......Bottom line is everything you say on the internet is tracable back to you....proxies make it more difficult....And I would think that there are a lot of easier targets....(people not using proxies)...which is realy why I started this thread to make people aware!!!

Yeah I am ok too but I am still gonna get one of them just to be on the safe side.

I checked mine, and yeah, it's not at all near me. Far enough that I feel secure. But I'm glad I checked. Thanks JohnnyBravo, without you I would have never checked it out. I'd rep you, but I'm still not allowed to show you any love.

Strange

I read of another pot site that was shut down and their internet servers were confiscated....Their computer equipment has everyone's IP address that ever posted on their forum....(WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU LIVE).....So, you think they would go after people who they have to get numerous warrants for......Or the easy to get people that didn't use a proxy????
