Open Proxy Errors?

This might help for some open proxy issues which may or may not fix...

What an open proxy does is opens ports in your computer which can actually allow other people (hackers) into your computer. Also, it allows you to hide your ip address.

First Option:
One way to fix the problem is actually do a virus scan on your computer (using your anti-virus software) to see if there are any virus on your computer that is making your computer an open proxy. If so, delete it and follow next steps.

Second Option:
1-Open your Internet browser and type in the address listed in your router instruction manual that came with the router to access your router settings. This address is typically something like http://192.168.1.1, but it can vary, so consult your operating guide. If you have lost your hard copy of the manual, you can normally download a version off of your manufacturer's support website.

2-Enter your user name and password for the router to access settings.

3-Navigate to the Security page for your router settings.

4-Block ports 50050, 3128, 80, 3124, and 8080, as these are the most commonly used ports to **** into an open proxy. The method for blocking a port varies depending on your particular network router, so here again consult your instruction manual for the precise method.

5-Exit out of your browser to save changes.


I think that is it for those people with open proxy problems.

    My account was just banned for having an open proxy. It turns out that PWI banned my ISP for being "too high speed." Seriously?

    Just now able to log in. Will try game next.
    "Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character... the black is, in fact, deep blue. And over there: lighter blue, and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars! And you see how they roar their light. Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes."

    I dont think pwi likes open proxies because they change your IP address. Thus making it hard to track people down. Which is why they dont like it.
