proxy servers?

When I go to whatsmyipaddress.com it says detects many proxy servers. I dont have a network setup- simply my desktop connected to my vonage to my modem. Is this bad? could someone explain this to me?

Also I have been told vonage does not act as a proxy server

Re: proxy servers?

Are you trying to solve a problem or merely to understand the "you've got proxies" message you're getting from that website? If there's a problem, try explaining the symptoms and details and someone here may be able to help you.

Otherwise, proxy servers are used for many purposes such as security and lowering internet costs by caching content. Proxies may be "transparent" in the sense that your ISP is using a (caching) proxy to improve their network response and lower their costs, and yet your machine may not even be aware of the presence of the proxy upstream from it.

Re: proxy servers?

It's finding multiple chained "via <proxy>" headers in the HTTP GET requests it receives from you. Nothing to worry about. If you don't have a proxy set up, it'll be the ISPs infrastructure.
