    I tried googling some proxy faq's but I fail...:duh:

    If I use a proxy server to access random.com, does my ISP see me accessing random.com or do they see me accessing the proxy? Another question on the same note... If I am downloading a file through a proxy...can my ISP see what I'm downloading?

    Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.



    ps: any suggestions for free or paid proxy's please let me know...

    Your ISP will see you connecting to the proxy, not to the site...

    But they can still monitor the stuff you pull through if they want to, so you can't get away with downloading illegal things through a proxy...
