Cant Disable Proxy so im stuck doing everything for academic and lower. i want to do some Social security missions. but i cant figure out how to use the Proxy Disable or Bypass to do so.

On the bottom left side of your HUD, right next to your e-mail is the connection analyser. When you have it open, use the proxy bypass/disable by dragging it onto the proxy.

As BlackFraust said, that's how you use Bypass. Wasn't obvious to me either. Disable is simpler: Start it up, then hit "Go." That's it. Watch carefully when it completes, it should tell you if it succeeds or fails. Either way, it starts a trace. Bypass is far more stealthy.

yeah i got it worked out now, All i need to do is is somehow increase my Trace timer now i tried to hack criminal database and had like 1 minute to do everything i need... not enough time to allow full access.

Don't bother with firewall or proxy disable; both take time and start a trace. Bypasses work instantly and are undetected.

Just a few tips....I played the game more than steam actual tells:
- No "Active"-Trace doesn't mean you will not get caught....start bypassers and u will see after transfering money on a bank account to yours....u will get caught...you must delete logs or the last bounce-log to trace you (a secondary-bank-account should be a good idea too).
- Time is the money in this game not the credits.....try to increase the time by more bounces.....this is helpful too to clean up your first bounce (normally "internic") from your fingerprints.
- Let time do the job. Have a look at the offered jobs at uplink....sometime u cant accept the job....'cause you are the hunted. Just do a time fast forward and you will see at the internic (if this is hopefully your first hop) IPs and Phones that accessed the file.
If it was clean...well done....and you are safe
- Last Tip....every connection makes a log! - Uplink Bank is your "main-money-host"...but why should you connect directly? - Your next job could be hacking an account here!
If possible bounce your connections and delete the traces ASAP...so the passive trace can't get you

***edit
Criminal Database like others are a wonderland to make money.
Just use the bypassers and delete your traces on your first hop...depending on your recent actions no passice trace should hit you. - Dont use "admin" - the "readwrite" user is enough 'cause nearly every admin-login starts an active-trace....just read the welcome-screen.

Lol, I'm pretty sure you'll never be trying to hack Uplink Bank. Mostly because it's unhackable.

(Apparently it requires a voice identification, like all other banks, but the owner of Uplink never reveals his name or voice.)

The time you get depends on how many servers you bounce through, and what kind of access you have on those servers. A Regular account on a machine, like a Bank Account, (Indicated by the doted lines surrounding the server) will give you longer than a machine that you don't have an account on, and a machine that you have Admin access on (Indicated by the solid box surrounding the server) will give you even longer.

OH! So that's what's up with the solid or dotted boxes! I never knew! Thanks man!
