When I select UK using Anonymous Proxy Mode (for Firefox only) I find when I open Firefox that I have an IP address of 37.130.227.133 This pans out as northern France. Northern France is not the UK.

On the surface, it seems to have an easy solution. Open the settings, Select anonymous proxy mode in the top pull-down, and DESELECT Force Use of an Anonymous Proxy when connection speed is slow. That was getting me a proxy in Poland as often as not.

Hello to everyone! Glad there is a forum and FAQ.

I am experiencing the same problem. The app works like a charm but for two weeks, it connects 1 time out of 5. I am using almost daily a Swiss proxy and Google doesn't switch until I refresh the page, finding myself...on an Indian proxy. I tried the advice above but it's still the same! Thanks to anyone who could help!

Hello Chris,

I'm using Windows 8.1, Chrome and the latest version of your app. The issue is the same on Firefox and IE. Worked two days ago when I switched my computer on - the latter switched off after being inactive and when I switched it back on, the app didn't work until now, I'm still in India :-)

Try to reset the proxy from the browsers:
1. Close all browsers.
2. Launch ChrisPC Proxy and set the proxy you want to use.
3. Connect to a proxy.
4. Close ChrisPC Proxy and relaunch it.

Hello Chris,

I have the same problem again for about ten days :) It's redirecting me to Poland when I want to access the Swiss proxy. I tried what you previously posted but it's still the same - sometimes, it connects to Germany. It happened when I downloaded the latest version. Thanks for any help you could give me!

Best,

Amaro
