    private bool useProxy;

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      useProxy = true;
      WebProxy proxy = new WebProxy("146.57.249.99", 3124);
      HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(@"http://www.whatismyip.com");
      if (useProxy)
        req.Proxy = proxy;
      req.Method = "GET";
      HttpWebResponse objResponse = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse();
      string htmlStuff;
      using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
      {
        htmlStuff = sr.ReadToEnd();
