gollark: Assuming you actually want to use the random.org API and not just get the quota of your IP for no reason, random.org will see all the requests as coming from the proxy, because they *are*, and reduce your quota based on that, *not* the IP of your CC computer.
gollark: Because that is what is *actually* sending HTTPS requests to random.org.
gollark: And the quota is *for your friend's server*.
gollark: It might give you the quotas for some other one, but presumably it won't let you actually get data as it.
