Ok, so I see plenty of people asking why should you even reroute the ip to another proxy?
Well, I'm a perfect example, I live out in Okinawa, Japan and have a US number (614 area code).
If I ping Columbus for the default proxy, I have a 350-500ms delay.
Tracert tracks my signal going through LA first, then through several servers across the US before reaching Washington DC, then back to Columbus.
If I set the default proxy to LA, my ping goes to 100-175, and I don't hear any breaks in who's talking to me.
I have busted my butt trying to get this working again (now that hosts doesn't work anymore) and I'm now trying to see if I should even bother investing in this for anyone other than myself.

Hi,
I live in Canada so there aren't any MJ area codes available. I currently have a phone number that's listed as being from New York. (I thought it would be cool to have a number from Manhattan) this also means that I have a proxy that's from New York as well (or at used for all the New York MJ's). At times the there is network congestion which from all my testing indicates that it's resulting from the MJ network.
I monitor this very heavily trying to fix my MJ issues. There was one time I did have a clear connection and when I checked with wireshark it was from a proxy located in Maryland. I don't know if this was a fluke because far as I can tell this never happened again.
I'd like to see some brilliant person find a way for me to change the proxy I'm currently locked into or have MJ be able to automatically switch to a proxy that has less traffic on it. I really don't want a phone number from Maryland.
Thanks,
Mr_D

Using a router flashed with one of the free, more advanced firmwares like DD-WRT or Tomato, it should be possible to route outbound traffic destined to one IP address to another. These firmwares run on Linux (on the router) and use iptables/ipchains for the router firewall.Mr_Dasher wrote:I'd like to see some brilliant person find a way for me to change the proxy I'm currently locked into or have MJ be able to automatically switch to a proxy that has less traffic on it.

IMO, all we need is someone to spend the time finding a network/firewall forum and finding someone who could answer the question how to do it. It's probably one or two rules. Someone who knows iptables/ipchains could probably figure it out in 20 seconds. The problem is, iptables/ipchains has a significant learning curve. It could take a long time to figure out if you don't know the subject.
