their is no differance, proxy numbers are used to identify the ISP and the computer that it is being used for, also different proxies have different speeds as well i use a proxy switching program that works well if you have the right proxy number/country.

So bassicly, a proxy IS a IP

pretty much thats what it is, thats how websites get identified through other means besides the www.com.com way.

When you use a proxy, you connect through another server, which means that your IP address is different, and your ISP will only have logs of you connecting to that server. It also means that your internet is very slow, but it is useful when you want privacy.

A proxy is a program or script that hides your I.P. address from the server the website is on. It is used to protect personal information, and can also be used to get around internet firewalls, such as cybernanny and surf control.

A good proxy site is

http://www.justprivacy.com
http://www.surfonym.com

If you want to host your own proxy go to

http://www.jmarshall.com/webtools/cgiproxy/

This allows you to download your own proxy to upload yourself, or it has the ability to automatically install a cgi proxy to your website server.


Hope this helps.
