Hi,

I posted this earlier but you asked me to post again using a later version of Hijack this, so here it is.

I am running Ghostsurf 2.1 but when I try to access a web site I get the error

Cache Error!
An error of type 400 occurred: Bad Request. Unknown URL type.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generated by tinyproxy (1.5.3)

If I stop Ghostsurf I get a blank page with the title "Cannot find server"

I posted this on another forum and it was suggested I post my HijackThis log to see if there were any problems - so here it is. I didn't even realise I had Tinyproxy !

Any help would be gratefully received.
