How come I get a warning message from Hotmail when using Proxomitron?
Proxomitron can hide your browser’s identity which can make more nosey sites like HotMail and Netscape Netcenter complain (since they think you’re not using the browser they approve of). With Hotmail, just disabling or adding (^*hotmail.msn.com) to the URL match of the “User-Agent” header filter will stop the complaining. On other sites you may also need to exclude the “Hide browser version/identity from JS” and “Kill nosey JavaScript” web filters. Note it’s also possible to still send sites fake User-Agent info as long as it’s something they’re expecting (like pretending to be IE5 while really using Opera). I’m having trouble using Outlook with Hotmail when using Proxomitron Unfortunately Outlook doesn’t use regular HTTP to do this and also won’t let you set it’s proxy setting different from IE. One work-around is to go back into IE’s proxy setup and add *hotmail*;*services.msn*. to the area labeled Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with box.
