Open browse

[Sparhawk]

I have searched this forum and know that p2p does not work - only browsing - however you can get your email from gmail which is http based - what i would like to know is could you play world of warcraft through it. I don't presume that WOW is http based [not actually sure what it is to be honest] I know openbrowse connects via a proxy [tunnel]

If it does not could someone provide the reasoning behind it just as a matter of interest

[I hope that this is in the right section this time ]

Openbrowse is for browsing only, you can get your gmail, no gaming or p2p.

Reason being p2p & gaming uses alot of bandwidth. If you have OpenBrowse you also have a local only account which you can use for gaming.

A quick guess would be that WoW runs over the wrong ports. Its probably also got rubbish latency/lag and just not enough throughput.

Also, even if it did work it would be mean to use it because they provide you with an additional service to make your life easier. Abusing it for gaming/p2p would not be cool.

http=hyper text transfer protocol if I remember correctly.

Fully agree HavocXphere - Use the service for what it was intended for. I must say, Openweb's guys has done a decent job of blocking non http traffic. Http is what I need and I'm happy with the product.
