Elite Proxy Server Tips

Thinking about setting up a Elite Proxy and curious about why or if a password is really needed to access it?. While having to enter a username and password can be time consuming when trying to access your proxy, it is vitality important. Proxy servers are machines out in the open on the internet and therefore can potentially be accessed by anyone. Don't be fooled by thinking that just because there are so many other computers and IPs on the internet that the chances of finding your proxy server are zero. You may be surprised to know that using software and other tools a person can very easily and very quickly scan IP ranges looking for open ports, proxies or other back doors that they can use to their advantage. For this reason it is strongly suggested that you ALWAYS use a login and password on your proxy server. If someone else gains access to your proxy server then you can be held liable for any damages that they do through the use of it. If you want to save time, instead of not using a password, there are many other applications and programs out there that will automaticallys handle username and passwords for logging into your proxy. Use these instead as they will achieve what you want (speeding up the login process) but also alow you to retain the high level of security that your Elite Proxy requires.
