Hey Friends,
It is with GREAT pleasure that I announce the return of our FREE Unshaped Socks Proxy, the very product that made OpenWeb what it is today!
FAQ:
1. What is the Free Socks Unshaping Proxy?
Basically, it is a Socks proxy located in the USA, on a 1Gbit connection, running on a port that is not shaped by your internet provider eg. Port 20. Because you will be tunnelling your applications such as Limewire, Bittorrent, WoW, CSS etc through this proxy, all the traffic will become unshaped, as it is travelling over an unshaped port.
2. Does it work with Games?
It most certainly does. All you do is simply route your gaming software to the Socks proxy by using a program such as SocksCap. (DO a search in google: SocksCap).
It will stabalise your latency, and make gameplay on international servers possible!
3. What kind of speeds can I expect with Software such as LimeWire?
Personally, I get about 112kb/s on LimeWire. Torrents run a little lower at an average of about 70kb/s, due to the nature of the technology.
4. You say it's FREE, what is the catch??
There is no catch. OpenWeb started off as being a FREE socks proxy service, and we will never forget our roots. This is just to say thank you to all those for helping us grow into the adult we are now.
