Hi,
Can anyone confirm that if you're behind your ISP's proxyserver and you want to homebank, you should enter 127.0.0.1 in order not to leave info on the proxyserver ? If you do so, is it absolutely safe ?

127.0.0.1 is a loopback address...it points to your own computer. If you enter 127.0.0.1 as your proxy server (assuming that's what you mean) you will be using your own computer as a proxy server, which won't work.
