Gee, that goes without saying. Well, it should have. #All it does is log where you're going. It doesn't actually proxy anything. If the systems you connect to don't get your IP, it's a proxy. All of AOL is a proxy. #Should you hover your mouse over the links in Amazon you won't see the #netaddress.com url pop up. You'll see Amazon urls. [checking...] You're right. It's not proxying. It's just got a fixed first frame going through netaddress which keeps the netaddress.net URL in the URLbar. The other frames are direct connects. I was distracted by an Anna Kournikova commercial, okay? Still, the original complaint stands.
USA.net proxy: heh-heh-heh
Previously I whined that USA.net was changing the URLs in received email to proxy through their server, meaning they had logs of all URLs you visited when clicking on hyperlinks while reading your personal email. That this violates their own privacy policy. For some reason Declan failed to report it. ;-) Analog film chemicals must be affecting his judgement. New note: if you bookmark the URL in the personal email someone sent you, it bookmarks it at the USA.net address. Here is the resulting URL in the new window USA.net opens when you click on an URL in your email: http://www.netaddress.com/tpl/Info/Popup?hidden___url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F I just tried scooping it and using it directly, trying amazon here. It worked. Anyone have direct access to their own server logs? What cookies/referrals/misc is logged on the receiving system? Continue clicking, and it's still via USA.net. It looks like a free "anonymizer" to me.
