Proxy server use
I noticed lately that when I want to view and post on PAFOA that I cannot use a proxy server.
The news about government spying on forums like this one is on every page these days, but when I try to use a server I "can" sign in but when I click the next page it signs me out automatically.
What's up with that?.........anyone know?Last edited by D10; July 31st, 2012 at 11:31 AM.

Re: Proxy server use
I have no idea. I tried it all and it does sign me in but does not refresh the page automatically like it should. So I have to click, "click here if the browser.....yadayada" and it will sign me out right then and there.

Re: Proxy server use
whats the use of using a proxy now, you've been here a long time, and IF the gubmint hacked the site, they will get your previous IPs... which are on every post *I* can see from the mod side.
proxies, in this case, are useful only when posting anonymously, which ya cant do here so much.
you'd have to delete yer accound, start a new anon one, and use something like TOR to access anonymously"Oderint Dum Metuant" - BMFH

Re: Proxy server use
Either cookies like Exbiker suggested or the proxy uses multiple outbound IP addresses and is not tying your requests to a single one. Thus, if you signed in vbulletin creates a session linking your session id (provided by your cookie) and your IP. If your next request comes through on a different IP no matching session will be found.
Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.
