SpireProxy.co.uk fail.

Well someone tried to con me out of a fiver today! SpireProxy.co.uk, I donated a fiver for access to a Siri Proxy they were supposedly hosting. (I figured it was worth the risk for a fiver) the guy sent me this e-mail...

server is up and down and other users are experiencing the odd issue.

Kind Regards

Lol, can't even make up a fake IP address right.
 
Hope this isn't incredibly off topic, but what proxies do you guys use? I'd like to bypass websense here at work so I can browse facebook but can't 🙁 Thought about setting up my own VPN to home but I don't have a static IP.

Sign up for DynDns it will sort your static IP problem 🙂 It has mine.

If someone went to the trouble to filter web traffic yet allows the use of a proxy, foreign DNS, tunneling, etc. then their security isn't very good. As a matter of fact most likely it's a trap. Oh yes I said it! They are just handing you the rope while you make the noose upon which you hang from high on pink slip day. 😉

Oh and speaking of proxies, I thought this site checked IP addresses against lists of known proxies and blocked access. (that's the way it should be)
 
Is it a PPTP or SSL VPN?

I would be surprised they would not prevent the former. SSL OTOH is pretty difficult to block without blocking legitimate (https) traffic.
