HOW CAN GOOGLE SEE THAT
Does ebay do the same?!? | Google gets your IP address from the DNS server that returns the replies. If you want to be sure that your proxy is working, try nslookup of google.com:
C:\Users\.....\username>nslookup google.com
You will get something like:
Server: abc.def.com
Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
.....
The abc.def.com, is what returns your IP address ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to google. If abc.def.com is from your local ISP, then the proxy is not working.
I hope this makes sense.
