Troubleshooting
For Dialup Users
Dial Up users should set the connection they want to use as default in the Internet Explorer Browser. If you want to change your connection properties in Internet Explorer we advice you to disable Anonymous Forum Buddy (if this is enabled), and enable it after you have preceded with the change.
To set your internet
connection as default, open an Internet Explorer window; access the
"Tools" menu, then "Internet Options". A new window opens. Select
the "Connections" tab, and in the "Dial-up and Virtual Private
Network settings" you will see your dial-up connections. Your
default connection is the connection which has "(default)" written
after it. If you want to use Anonymous Forum Buddy with your dial-up
connection, you should choose "Dial whenever a network connection is
not present" or "Always dial my default connection", then click on
the internet connection you want to use with Anonymous Forum Buddy
and click the "Set Default" button. Click Apply to save
changes.
Optimize your connection speed
Try different proxies from the list. Some proxies are faster than other, and it is also possible for few not to work at the time you choose them.
Some proxies may route their traffic using other proxies
This may explain why your new IP is different from your real IP, but
also from the proxy you have chosen.
“my real IP is visible“ issue.
