Open Proxies Scan - is it necessary?

5 Oct 2025
A security scan by ProxyServ Bot.All clients are scanned upon connection for open proxies for security reasons. That means that the proxyscan service will try to connect to the user's computer, and if successful, try to connect back to EmechNet through the proxy. If successful with that, the user gets a temporary ban from EmechNet. It is up to the user to secure his or her computer. If you get banned, it could also mean that you have a Trojan or that you have broken the rules of our network.So if you see a warning from your firewall software saying that proxyscan.emechnet.org is connecting, don't worry, that's just ProxyServ scanning for open proxies.
If you don't want to be scanned, don't connect to EmechNet.
