Anybody know anything about proxy programs?

[afro-herbalist]

For a few months now I've been using a proxy called UltraSurf, and I've gotta say, for something which people make out to be SO technical and complex, this is probably the most easy to use proxy out there (even though I haven't used any others yet). However, about 10 minutes ago I accidentally pressed the second "green light" button (theres 3 of them), and now, no matter WHAT I do, or whatever settings I change, I just cant connect to ANY pages through Ultrasurf anymore. All I get is a blank page.

 

It says "succesfully connected to server", but if it WAS connected, then surely it would be working, right?

 

The thing that ruined everything was the "middle green light" button you can see in the screenshot.

 

 

Does anybody know what I've done and why NOTHING I do is fixing it. All I pressed is one button (which I assume connects to an alternate server), and now everything is messed up.

 

BTW I'm using Firefox, plus the Ultrasurf Firefox Plugin. Again, everything worked PERFECTLY for months, until I made that ONE, stupid mistake of "pressing a button" (lol)

 

Here are some pages related to this program:-

Thanks in advance to anyone cool enough to pull me out of this abyss!

I'm not familiar with that proxy. However, it says it is listening on 127.0.0.1:9666, your loopback device. I'd expect it to say it was listening on another ip address entirely, something routable or natable, so that looks suspicious to me. (Although there are configurations where it might be correct. Perhaps that is the proxy client listening for the firefox plugin, in which case, that would be right.).

 

Did it say that before? What are the firefox plugin configs? What are the proxy configs?

 

Edit: Yes the firefox plugin expects the proxy to be listening on localhost:9666, aka 127.0.0.1:9666.
