Proxy Servers
An HTTP, or web, proxy server provides a gateway between your browser and the rest of the Internet. A proxy server replaces your identity (IP address, in this case) with its own, making it possible to browse more privately, securely, and can offer additional features depending upon the proxy. XMission now provides four different web proxies. Information about each is listed below.
Privoxy
Privoxy is geared towards filtering ads, and providing protection against tracking. Privoxy also provides all of the features offered by the "Normal Caching Proxy". If you wish to use this service, find your browser on our Privoxy Usage instruction page.
Normal Caching Proxy
Our normal proxy ([Squid]), transparently caches web documents locally to cut down on load time. Downloading a web page from an XMission server is faster than downloading one from across the Internet. If you wish to use this service, find your browser on our Caching Proxy instruction page. Please note that no cache service is capable of caching HTTPS encrypted pages.
SOCKS v4 v5
SOCKS v4 v5 proxy services are available for customers inside the XMission network via socks.xmission.com at port 1080.
Session Traversal Utilities for NAT ([STUN]) Server
A public STUN server is available for customer and non-customer use alike. STUN servers are primarily used for VoIP services traversing a NAT network. It is available at stun.xmission.com with the secondary interface at stun2.xmission.com, UDP ports 3478 and 3479.
