Sorry if this is OT but my thinking is that if you don't know, then it's
going to be a hard job finding one that does.
For my broadband I have a boring old iHug - now Voda - ADSL connection.
A lot of my work involves monitoring and managing remote websites.
(Probably) since the new government legislation came into effect, my
guess is that I am now behind a transparent proxy for web traffic.
Now, I'm not *too* bothered by that ( well, except when it falls to
pieces like one evening last week! ), but in final testing I often
override DNS with a local host entry. This no longer works, and my SP
sends me to the production one every time. This is a major problem.
Does anyone know...
a) whether this can be disabled?
b) whether there is another provider out there who doesn't do this?
I've got plenty of servers worldwide that I can route all my traffic
through in an encrypted manner which would almost certainly circumvent
this, but I shudder to think what can of worms that would open!
Any suggestions??
Cheers,
Steve
