Proxy Question

[AsBakedAsCake 179]

If a proxy has the same IP as another, but a different port, is it still the "same" proxy?

Yes because it's the same IP

Yes because it's the same IP

Thanks for clearing that up quickly.

 

I figured as much, I've caught multiple companies reselling me the same proxy as b4 with a new port/password.

 

Now I'll just not use them at all xD

 

No wonder the ban rates were starting to get worse than my home IP

Yes and no. While it may be the same proxy server which you auth to, providers would use a reverse proxy server to delegate traffic dependent on the port or other criteria

 

Apache has a nice article about it on their website.
