Hi,

is the paid proxy service working with Thunderbird? In order to avoid transmitting my personal IP everytime I send a mail? Is it compatible with SMTP?

thanks a lot,
SH

Hello SH, I think you

Hello SH,

I think you question can be divided on 2 parts:

1. Is it compatible with SMTP?

Our proxies are HTTP(s), so you cannot send email directly trough it. You can though access web-mail through the proxies, gmail for example. Then your real IP will be hidden behind the proxy.

2. is the paid proxy service working with Thunderbird?

Thunderbird can be configured to work with the proxy, so when you open an email message containing remote content, this content (graphics for example) can be loaded through the proxy. Of course as I mentioned before, Thunderbird will not send mail through the paid proxy.
