A proxy question...

[Ads_172]

When using a proxy, obviously it hides the website that you're viewing...

But will the history just show constant visits to said proxy site? Just thinking, my IT department might decide to look into me visiting the same site all the time!

depends on the type of proxy

Can you suggest one that won't be traced at all?

What browser are you using?

Also do you know how your IT department track your usage?

If your work proxy is logging what you visit to, then yes it will show visits to the web proxy. Also, depending n how the webproxy itself works, your work proxy will also be able to log what websites you are actually going to (i.e. if the proxied website is in the URI).

If they're halfway sensible the proxy will block access to most proxy sites, especially the big ones. There's specific catagory on most of them, generally called "proxy avoidance".

It sounds like they'd be able to continue to log sites visited then, as I know they can print out logs of everything visited on t'internet.
