I had 2 calls about Hulu that were resolved by a new dynamic pool address. But tonight I had one that involved the Illinois State Lottery. Some support guy in India told the customer "proxy server" meant his Internet signal was too weak so they couldn't tell if he was in Illinois!
Either Hulu and the lottery are doing the same exact thing, or they both use some third party blacklist service. I'm thinking third party. Does that seem likely? It is certainly annoying if someone is permanently blacklisting dynamic pool IP addresses with no way to request removal or automatic removal after X number of days. I tried to find contact at Hulu with no luck. The only option seems to be to log in as a customer.

I never did get any "good" answers as to what they were doing. When I found one with "socks" enabled and i clicked on connections usually there were none in use. I did find one a few days ago that had about 20 active connections before I cleaned it up. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Hohhof <mailto:[email protected]> To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2018 1:11 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Hulu IP blacklist The Winbox hack was definitely used to set up a Socks proxy, I don't know what that is or what they were using it for. There would be a seemingly random high numbered port assigned to it. I had a few customer routers get hacked with this. Can you explain what they were doing by configuring IP > Socks? I thought maybe it was a way of creating a backdoor into the router.

I'm still a little skeptical that's the explanation. If nothing else, you'd think the blacklist would expire after 24 hours or something.
