Works great thank you was exactly what I needed now I just have to find a place I can get my script to auto update the txt file from.

Justin the topic never said it did check anonymity.

Great post , looks 90% like something i wrote a year ago , and klevis is right – you should add the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER flag.

@justin –
if you want to check for anonymity you can store a php file on a remote server that shows you your IP , or you can just load a page like http://checkip.dyndns.com/ that does the same for you (there are many like this one , just google check ip )

This does nothing to check the anonymity of the proxies though.

You should add this line of code:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

to assign the output into the $page variable:

$page = curl_exec($ch);

I made a proxy site myself, I believe the right to privacy on the internet is important, new ruling about the police in britain being able to hack into people compmuters without warrant is crazy. Anyone remeber george orwells 1984?

Most of the web proxies I know have been banned by my works filters but I found this one that seems to work http:/www.heavymist.com

proxy sites wouldnt be needed if we were not spied on at every turn. Some people don’t believe in a right to privacy

You need also this line before the curl_exec:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

So it will not echo the output, but return as $page variable.
