A acts as an intermediary. Instead of your computer connecting directly to GFXPeers, it connects to the proxy server, which then connects to the site. This bypasses the ISP’s DNS or IP block.
To discuss GFXPeers proxies without addressing the moral dimension is to ignore the elephant in the studio. Why do artists risk using proxies to access pirated software?
If you are a graphic designer, VFX artist, or 3D modeler, GFXPeers is likely a household name. It is one of the largest private torrent trackers dedicated specifically to graphic design resources, software, tutorials, and 3D assets.
