It's possible that your anonymizing proxy is using an IP from your area. |

The proxy says "Spain", I live in Minnesota. |

Have you checked the proxy's IP in a geographical locator, like this one? http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm |

Apparently based on comments on other sites, adult friend finder uses the same pictures for different names of people in different cities. Notice two of the three women are in two places with two names: http://gorillamask.net/kontrabandss.jpg http://gorillamask.net/hahahaha3.jpg |

It is likely you have previously visited a site that used a cookie or "web-bug" to store information about the IP you were using at the time and then it just retrieved the cookie instead of doing a IP location lookup. Are you using this proxy long? Try clearing out your cookies and re-visiting the site. |

I hate it when that happens to me. Adds on websites say the actual town I live in, not the one where http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm or any other IP lookup website says I am. It is so wierd. I have no clue how they know where we live and I dont like it. I suggest that you get a new IP but that probably wont do anything to foil the websites. I cant really offer advice, I can just say that it also happens to me. |

It could be a cookie from when the proxy was turned off? |

I use a little app called onspeed to speed up my dsl. It can be found at www.onspeed.com. Granted it has relitively nothing to do with hidding your identity, whenever I come across one of those things that say where your from, mine alwasy think im from london or some other place in England. I've been using this app for a while now and it actually took me a while to figure out why all the sites and adds thought I was in England. It does cost $49.99 for a year license which may be a deterent seeing as how the main purpose of the app isn't even what you're looking for, but I thought I would share it. |
