Hell yeah I just cancelled my message after you posted yours in between @magefromantares...I'm sorry wierd_w but that's really not good advice. We're talking about a 90's proxy, and the original poster clearly showing that they don't really know what they are talking about (no offence, just the truth) with a stated goal of "hiding their identity online". The fact that it would "run" on modern Windows because it's NT based is so off base in this particular case.

I thought i would share the link with you anyway

'Anonymizing traffic' is a *side effect*. Not an intended function. From the outside, every computer using the proxy server 'looks like one single computer'. Namely, said proxy server.

But do you think it will stop VodaFone resricting age content?
Will VodaFone be able to see what sites I have visited if I did a freedom of information request/ subject data request

As I initially responded, anything newer than windows ME (which was the last microsoft OS with a 9x style HAL and memory heap design) meets this description.

Wikipida state that windows me came out in 2000. so are we right in thinking that it wont run on win98 and win95 but will on winxp?

They just look superficially similar because Windows 95 just adopted a subset of Windows NTs API (allowing some but not all software to work on both), and Windows NT adopted a superset of Windows 95s Shell but that's about the extent of the relationship.

So is it the kernal or which version of MS-DOS that determains which OSs that the programs will run on?

... what is this Windows NT? ...

"WindowsNT" stands for "Windows New Technology" and is the first stand-alone (not on top of DOS) 32-bit protected mode edition of Windows, and the first to use NTFS (New Technology File System)

Is all of windowsNT NTFS and not FAT32 then?

its not going to work on xp. xp is far removed from nt4's driver/subsystems design this wants to plug into.
