    Proxy Server?

    When I was in high school, I used this website. It is a website that lists working proxies, updated daily. If you choose the right ones, you can actually successfully watch youtube videos through the proxy!

  3. Proxy server

    • For quite some time after a Microsoft Update I have had to manually turn off the proxy server each day in order to get on the internet. The "Save" button is greyed out, so unable to save the turned off setting. I have spoken to techs about this and they
      ran some tests, but to no avail. Any suggestions? It's a pain to have to redo this each day when I restart my laptop.
