It has been suggested that using a proxy server will help to make my system more secure while I'm online. I looked at some of the suggested free proxy servers, but they seemed not to work well if at all. The explanations were well enough for me to follow but my system ran exceedingly slow or the sites I tried to access disallowed this. So I want to find a reliable site to buy one. I came across HIDE MY IP site and it looked easy to follow and was not overly expensive. My main thought was, how can I tell when a site which offers programs is actually not unscrupulous?
Can I start a thread for everyones education.I've been browsing some threads about security and keeping yourself annonimous. In these threads there is loads of reference to 'Proxy'.
Where Internet Explorer store proxy settings Tools -Internet options -Connections -LAN settings -Proxy server.Does it store it into registry? For example, I need test a big quantity of proxy servers, some of them not work, etc. So, all this information, filled in Address, Port fields will store in registry? It will litter registry with unnecessary garbage? Does all this old settings will kepts in registry?
I need to use a proxy server at work but not at home. I would love an icon on the desktop that I could click when I arrive at work that would start IE and Firefox, change their proxy settings to 'On' and then close the programs. Similarly, when I get home, I would like to click another icon to do the reverse.
I'm at work, behind a firewall that blocks port 3389 at a minimum, I don't know if the work firewall is blocking RDP packets completely. I have TSWEB running on one of two home PCs, and I'd like to remote desktop to the other. This tests corectly from home, and I can get to the TSWEB machine from here at work. My TSWEB machine listens for HTTP on port 401 (http://homepc:401/tsweb), and the machine I want to remote to is using standard 3389. My router is forwarding port 401 to the TSWEB machine, and is forwarding port 3389 to the remote desktop machine. My questions are below Am I correct in assuming that the TSWEB machine is not acting as a proxy for RDP packets?
I am running Windows xp.I installed 'Remote desktop' on a windows 2000 computer on my network.When I try to connect, I get The Workgroup domain/workgroup does not contain any terminal servers'
for a little while now i've been unable to connect to any servers, or at least thats what i think. I play lots of games online and so on. things were fine and then one day i recieved this error while trying to play 'halo' online. 'An error has occurred while trying to contact the gamespy master server'. after messing around with halo for a while i tried other games; doom3, quake3, counter strike and so on, but all with the same effect, i couldnt connect to a server. This was also the case when i tried to update Ad-aware, it freezes when i try to update. I've checked my firewall and individual programs but have come to no conclusion. have also tried 'system restores' but each time they fail?
I use Windows RAS connections to connect to servers via IP. Recently, they have "stopped working" the first time I connect, then every other time after that. The modem connects, I can log in just fine, it assigns me an IP address, but I can't ping the server. If I hang up and do it again, I can then ping the server. If I hang up and do it a 3rd time, it doesn't work. 4th time it does, etc, etc...I have dozens of servers I connect to and they all do this and it didn't do it a few weeks ago, so I know it's not the equipment. I have XP Pro verson 2002 Service Pack 2 and I'm current on all Microsoft updates. I have automatic updates setup and I do recall that my computer had reset (which means it did an update) a few days before I noticed the problem. I know Microsoft has had RAS issues in the past.
I would normally always specify machines with XP Pro on them. However we need to buy some new laptops for some staff who work away from our office, and the only spec as supplied is with XP HomeThese machines only occasionnaly have to physically connect to our network in the office, but will always have to PN into our servers via the Internet.I am not really sure what the difference were between XP Pro and XP Home.
We have one computer that is unable to connect via RDP to two servers. The system gives an error "The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server Licenses". We know that it is a computer issue because we can have that same user logon to another computer and they can use RDP to connect to all servers. This is a fresh install of XP Pro SP3. We have 5 different servers that users can logon to, 3 are Server 2000 and the other 2 are Server 2003.
I use mIRC and I've given it full access in my Firewall Zone Alarm free edition settings, but whenever I try to join a server, GameSurge in this case, I get this error: This never used to happen with the older version of ZoneAlarm, but I'm assuming this version has bug fixes or improved stability over the older one so I'm reluctant to go back to it.
I just formated one of my servers to discover that local disk is not E: instead of C: , i tried to change it back, but it will not let me since it is the boot device?
I connect to my home computer from work using RDP. I'm curious as to what encrption is goign on between the two comptuers. If my IS department decides to start to capture packages exactly what will they see? I write emails, on my remote machine and surf the net occasionally. Does XP provide secure 18 bit encrption between the two comptuers? If not is there any 3rd party utilities that I can run in order to accomplish this?
In XP machines, Microsoft's own software contained 42 percent of the vulnerabilities attacked, while 58 percent were in third party software. For Vista machines, Microsoft's software had 6 percent of the vulnerabilities attacked, with third-party software containing 94 percent of the flaws.http://www.pcworld.com/article/153 [...] =nl_dnxnws. They should do a 64-bit focused study.I wonder what that would look like.
I am searching for a Software like Outlook with fallowing Features. The Admin Can Configur the Mail ID which the user can send only to that ID through User Login. if have multiple options like option-2 as workgroup and Only one Mail ID to send mail through internet.
If you have ever used a computer at a high school or college, then you might have seen that pesky software that prevents you from installing any programs or web content filters that prevent you from accessing instant chat sessions. Well here is a way to send instant messages to your friends over such networks as long as you have their ip or the name of the computer on the network. An easy way to find a computer's ip address is to type cmd in the run box on your start menu. This will start the command prompt. Type "ipconfig /all" with a space between "ipconfig and /all".That will list the computer's ip address along with other network specs. Now that you have the ip of that computer, you may send instant messages to it.Go to the run command in your start menu. Type cmd in the box which will open the command prompt just like above.Type: net send "ip address" message. If the computer you were trying to send a "Hello" message to had the ip address of 127.10.1.1,you would type "net send 127.10.1.1 Hello" Additionally, it is possible to use a wild card such as * in the ip address parameter. Example: net send * message
The above command will send your message to every computer on your subnet. This is great for system administrators to send out messages to all windows computers on the network notifying them that you are going to be taking down the server or something. However, if you are a student and feel like pulling a prank at school by sending some message across the school network, you will screw yourself. With today's zero tolerance policies in schools, you will be suspended possibly even expelled. Trust me; it's happening all over the USA.
Windows XPI was putting in AdAware and F-Secure popped in.It had detected "Adware.P2PNetworking" and recommended quarantineIs this the AdAware? Or something sneaky trying to look like it so I'll let it in? Just to be safe, I OK'd the recommended Quarantine. Is that right, or should I let it out of uarantine?
how to prevent the message in the Security Information dialog box:"This page contains both secure and nonsecure itemsDo you want to display the nonsecure items?" I occasionally get this when accessing certain sites, like my Yahoo mail server site, and it is a pain in the butt.How do I set my system to always display the page first time, without this annoying message?
Trying to remove the above with F-secure anti virus 2006, ewido v4 and spydoctor without sucess, although F-secure generates 'popup' with Malware detected warning, but message says action failed.
I am running Windows XP and I get a security information window that pops up and says "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" How do I get rid of this? Under Internet Options?
Running XP on a Sony PVC-RX770 (3 years old). I can never get to a secure site. Message says to re-set security levels which I have done over and over. I have tried restoring system to earlier times with negative results. Sony did not help. I can't even load Norton, buy things, see my bank statements, etc. Here may be a clue. I am sometimes told my system won't accept ActiveX code. I am also told I need to add a drive. I press continue and system runs OK (except the the security problem).
I just switch hosts for one of my web sites. I change the name servers and they have propgated because I checked the DNS on a DNS report website and the domain name points to the new host. Everyone can connect to the new host and view my web site except for me. The only way I can connect and view my web site is if I go to it through a proxy. I tried flushing the cache. I tried clearing the temporary internet files and history. I tried disabling the negative caching through the registry. I tried restarting the dns client service.
