Transparent proxy?

samandmax · 22-05-2008, 19:15

I thought all the transaprent proxies for browsing were gone in 2007 according to wikipedia.

Today browsing, a site gave me a download limit for 62.30.249.130 which is not my ip, that is 82.25.1xx.xx

Anyone know how I can avoid this transparent proxy?

Are you in Hampshire?

which IP does http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/mi...?do=connection give you?

are you sure you don't have a proxy set?

**Paul** · 22-05-2008, 19:35

You are not routing via a proxy, esp one based on the old Telewest network, since you are on the old ntl network.

I am in Fareham near Portsmouth.

I can't see how this download site could get an IP which is unrelated to my connection but part of the old network.

I've seen that once or twice before, always with an odd-looking route that crosses blueyonder from ntl - anything crossing that route, seems to pick up a wrong IP.

The second route is especially screwed up, as

It can make a direct path via gsr12012.lon.he.net [195.66.224.21] though that address follows yet another route if traced directly, looks like a right old peering screwup, with indirect paths being preferred to a direct interchange - that whole section of routing is a mess.

Just tried that site and got the same error, and the same IP mentioned (62.30.249.130). As I am ex ntl, and in a totally different area to you, I would hazard a guess that the site has a horrifically bad method of IP identification. The only thing I suggest is emailing their support and telling them to get a clue really.

Sorry for hijacking but relevantish.. Eth/WDINAT - I have been using renf-cache-9.server.ntli.net as a proxy for a loooooooooong time now. It must have still been working as here shows: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/19...et-access.html but now this seems to have stopped as from yesterday. Now I'm back to slow loading pages, time-outs and images drawing a line at a time. Gutted. renfrew was a great connection.
Any quick fix solutions? (bagu.broadband.ntl.com)

Take this as a last warning.There will be NO more discussion of reputation points or warnings and possible infractions will be the result.
