Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies.
- gcr 15y agoAh, but see, even that fact right there is quite telling. Do you have anything to hide? Even though you don't, how could you convince your future employer of that?
- spindritf 15y agoThe idea behind "seven proxies" is that even the proxy cannot be traced back to you.
- gcr 15y agoMy point was that the employer could trivially trace the online account he uses at work to one IP address, which is known to be a proxy. Now the employer wonders: Why is this account going to such trouble to hide its actions?
- kijin 15y agoYou're obviously doing it wrong if you use 7 proxies and then log into an account that can be easily traced back to you. Proxies should only ever be used with anonymous and/or throwaway accounts.
- khyryk 15y agoI would be impressed if said future employer could ascertain that fact.
- protomyth 15y agoThey wouldn't have asked about your Facebook account if they could do that.
