Default Re: Setting up a Canadian proxy server

[ QUOTE ]

Proxy, no as per reasons in #1. VPN, yes, but only if set up correctly. The key in VPN setup is proper client-side setup. VPN's go down sometimes (I was up an average of 15-16 days 24/7 before a drop, and would be reconnected within about 30 seconds). Poker clients will automatically attempt to reconnect to the poker site. If the poker client attempts to reconnect to a poker site while the VPN is down (during the 10-30 seconds it will take to reconnect to the VPN) then guess what....it's trying to connect from your real US IP and your Party acct will get insta-locked and you'll have to fight to get *some* of your bankroll back...if you're lucky. This has happened to at least one 2+2er I am aware of....$20k got locked, only $16k was eventually recovered.
