Do Webproxies Work As A Craigslist Proxy?

You are more than likely heard of web proxies before. Their very name webproxy falsely leads people into believing that a webproxy can be used as a Craigslist proxy. However, this simply doesn't work. One of the biggest problems with web proxies is that they are not anonymous. If you want to post ads on Craigslist then this is something that is very important. Web proxies reveal their true nature to anyone that inspects the IP. This makes it extremely easy for Craigslist and other sites to first inspect the true nature of an IP and if it is detected as a proxy any ads coming from the IP are banned. Just because webproxies are free and in abundant supply, they do not make a good tool for posting ads to Craigslist with. This obviously doesn't work and they quickly become frustrated. For those wanting to post ads to Craigslist you will need to dig into your pockets and invest in your very own Craigslist proxy.
