Anonymizer problems

I just purchased the one-year subscription to Anonymizer and while it
worked initially now it fails to log-in due to "incorrect password."

I am running WinXP Home with all updates. Also ZoneAlarm which has been
ruled to permit Anonymizer.

I requested that the PW be emailed to me and that PW is the same one
that I am trying to log-in with.

Also, when (when it was working) I tried to check HTTPS sites such as
my bank and also my Yahoo EMail, it failed to log-in, giving me a blank
webpage, similar to "the website you are looking for does not exist"
type of page. Yahoo returned "Error 999" many times when just
conducting a simple search.

I emailed Anonymizer support but its the weekend and wanted to see if
maybe someone had some ideas.

Thanks

ZoneAlarm doesn't care for your settings, it introduces its own
understanding of breaking your network functionality.

Mail, not eMail. For eMail you need serious email client, not a lousy
web interface.

What exactly?

Eh... you're really serious about that? You're giving information about
your identity to someone and routing all your traffic through his
system. This is everything but anonymity.


Beside that, set a Followup-To next time, will ya?

I would not do bank transactions through anominizer at all.
Their stuff is a bit screwie, had it for a while several years back, and it
seemed that they were dying then.
gave me two years free, but by then I wasnt using it at all, no need.
Spam, email wars, which can be controled other ways, and what else?
Anmnymizer has a set of fixed IPs that everyone can idenitfy or block if
they want to, many do.
besides ask yourself, what do you have to hide from who for how long?
Good luck getting it to work for you, the CS is about dead.

Using Yahoo isn't the best privacy protection around, they copy all your
e-mails. But if
you are going to use them try logging in with cookies enabled, it sounds
like that ight be it, don't let
anonymizer re-write them, if their still doing that. Regards

Can you expand on this and give some examples?

I've seen certain cases where ZoneAlarm was intentionally disabled and
still blocked ICMP traffic and even FTP connections initiated from the
host itself. We've all seen it sometimes failing to filter SMB traffic,
allowing the Sasser worm to exploit unpatched systems (shame on those!)
even though approciate filter rules were in place. And many more... this
piece of software is totally buggy, much like any other PFW.

As told above, sometimes even disabling it won't solve the problems.
Uninstallation usually does, well except for Symantec's product where
even the uninstall routine sometimes fails blatantly on removing the
drivers (which essentially breaks every network functionality until
manual removal and cleanup).
