I am fascinated by being able to enter a proxy IP and have my IP be different!!

How is this possible??

Im not talking about WEB PROXIES Im talking about raw IPs you put in your browser and it uses that!!

How does your browser bypass YOUR ISP to give you the IP of that proxy??

I used one from the UK before and went to whatismyip.info and it gave me that info!!

My browser (MyIE2) has an option for PROXY SETUP under options..... IE6 (And all IE versions) also has an option to set a proxy IP under INTERNET OPTIONS/CONNECTIONS but I havent ever set one up there......

Its just fascinating to me!!!!!
