thanks but it didnt work..

just one question... should I change it back to what it was before I did all that? would my pc be more secure if I did or is it ok to leave it as it is?

I did follow this..

and using a proxy it works (at least it seems to be). It is stuck on "fair" connection but i guess its better than nothing at all.
