How Do I Use My Own Personal Elite Proxy Server to Hide My IP Address?
You use a different IP Address. To use a different IP address, all you have to do is connect to another computer (that has a different IP address loaded on it) before you connect to the internet. Instead of connecting directly to a website, you connect to a “proxy” computer first, and then connect to the website from that “proxy” computer. The technical name for this proxy computer is, proxy server. A quick peek in your thesaurus will show you that the word proxy simply means, alternate, substitute, or representative. And thus, a Proxy Server is simply a substitute computer/server that “represents” your computer’s real IP address. A certain very special kind of proxy server is called an Elite Proxy Server. An Elite Proxy Server is a proxy server that has special Elite Proxy software installed on it that prevents your proxy from being identified as a proxy, by replacing the server’s real html headers with personal computer headers.
Basically, when it comes to using a proxy to hide your IP address, or to access blocked websites, you have two choices, and then two sub-choices. The first choice is whether to use an anonymous-proxy or to use an elite proxy. A good anonymous proxy can hide your IP address. An elite proxy server also hides your IP address, but then it goes one big step further. It also hides the fact that you’re using a proxy. If privacy, or secrecy, is your goal, then the choice here is pretty obvious. If you’re going to go to the effort of using a proxy, it makes no sense to use one that only does half the job.
Now to the “set up proxy server” sub-choices. Whether you choose an anonymous-proxy or an elite-proxy, you’ll have to choose between whether to use a public one or a private one. Basically it’s pretty easy to see the advantages to having your own private proxy over a public one. It’s faster because you’re the only one using it, and it’s a million times safer because you’re the only person on the planet that can access it. Obviously I’m biased here, but it’s for a very good reason. I could just as easily show you how to use either of these four choices. In fact, I could have four different instruction manuals, one for each type. But I only have one, because a private-elite-proxy is the only one that I trust. It’s the only one that’s safe, fast, and actually does the full job that a proxy is meant to do.
OPTION #1:
Standard Version
Use this option to set up as many elite proxy servers as you want to for the rest of your life. It will never become outdated because the script automatically updates itself every time you use it.
OPTION #2:
Advanced Version
Same as option #1 above but also includes instructions for putting multiple ip addresses on the same proxy server. Don't bother with this option if you only need 1 new ip address (most users) but if you want to put lots of different ip addresses all on the same proxy then this is the option for you.
