Inappropriate proxo filtering of websites

Flycaster · Cadet Joined: Mar 19, 2004 Posts: 2 Location: USA

MYIE2 is my defaulted web browser. Proxo 4.5 is set to JD's configuration and nothing else has been done to proxo. In order fro proxo to work, I have set IE6's proxy to 127.0.0.1 and have set MYIE proxy to proxo. Lately, but not all the time, when my home page (http://my.yahoo.com/p/d.html?v), or sometimes some of the links within this home page come up, proxo says it can't find the page. However, clicking on Refresh brings the site up. Of course it is a pain when the wanted site doesn't load intially. Any ideas as to what's happening? Interestingly, MYIE gives you the net server's IP and this problem usually arise when it is 127.0.0.1. Other times the IP listed is that of my real server. Thanks for the help,
Adam

Hello Flycaster,

That is not an uncommon occurrence with IE-based browsers if a web site is experiencing a large amount of traffic or if you have several browser windows/tabs downloading web pages simultaneously. Placing Proxo in bypass mode seems to help in those circumstances, so you might try adjusting your filters.

To run Proxo with MyIE2 you shouln't have to place Proxo in IE. I often run IE without a web page filter while running Proxo on MyIE2.

Try setting your MyIE2 proxy settings to:
Name: localhost
Proxy: 127.0.0.1:8080 Smile

As long as you don't go crazy with it another way to really speed IE up through a proxy is to raise the number of connections per server.

The normal defaults follow HTTP specs of 2 for HTTP/1.1 and 4 for HTTP/1.0 However, using a proxy this can be very limiting. The proxy itself is considered the "host" so it acts as a hard limit to the number of connections IE will make in total.

You can up these to any value you like in the registry - here's an example setting each to 8...

Interestingly, MYIE gives me the net server' sIP and this problem arise when it is 127.0.0.1 (proxy address) and also when my regular broadband server's IP is showing in the status bar. In other words, why does the IP in the status bar keep changing and does this effect the proxo/refresh problem?

When you say proxo can't find the site do you mean a hostname lookup error? If so it would be DNS related. Are you using any type of DNS filter (like DNSKong) or a custom host file?

From a command line you can also try typing
