2,291 PointsHow to disable proxy?
Hi i tried signing up at dreamhost but when i tried to make an account i got this message:
"Signups are not permitted from this IP address. If you are using a proxy to access the Internet, please disable it and try again. "
I've heard of proxy servers before but i don't really know what that is or why i am getting this message. Can anyone fill me in here? Thanks.
