Personally, I think the need for such comprehensive information regarding proxies (long. & lat., state, city, postal code) is far more sophisticated than the overwhelming majority will need at this point in time. And, I'm surprised, I'm if reading you correctly, that Proxy Firewall (thanks for the link), wouldn't have the ability to filter out "dangerous" proxies, since most other proxy analyzing software does ... providing they have it configured to do so.

I have been using the program for a few months now. It seems to be a good program. It is still in beta and they seem to be real good with adding things that I suggest to them. The "automatic" filtering seems to be a good idea. Right now I just sort the list and multiple select items to be deleted. Also I am using a new non-released beta that has a few more options then the download has. I really do like the program a lot. I will have to download Charon and try it out. Maybe you can provide a good download link for me and anything else that you think I should know about it?

This was a while ago when I was first starting out with open proxies.
I tend to be a do-it-yourselfer so now I do a lot of scanning myself as well as other methods. My brain is always moving in overtime.

No reason to be sorry, I admit in some areas I can come off as in that catagory. I have too many old time methods stuck in my head because I never kept up with the newer stuff. Well I am finding more time on my hands these days :thank god: and will start targeting myself to the updated newer things. I am sure that there is a lot that I can learn here from you people.

I will try and learn the quoting more. Please feel free to give any hints or point out what I could have done differently. I am eager to learn.
