Connection to the server and Connection to the Data Center

Hi.

1. http://forum.mql4.com/c/forum/2006/12/2.png If it is fully red, it means there is no connection with the selected server.
2. http://forum.mql4.com/c/forum/2006/12/1_1.png If it is green/red, this means the direct connection to the server.
3. http://forum.mql4.com/c/forum/2006/12/3.png If it is green/blue, this means that you use a Data Center.

Do you know what is the difference between second and third connection to the broker?

"Data Center is a proxy server and designed as connecting-link between the system server and clients' terminals." http://www.metaquotes.cc/en/data_center/


I would guess that often you don't know whether you are connecting to a server directly or to a proxy in front of it.

I have never seen the 3d one...
