Yes, port 80 is really closed on your box, and is open due to ISP intervention. Best way to know for sure is to do a 'netstat -nlp' on your machine, and see if any process is listening on port 80. I'd imagine quite a lot force it's users through a farm of web proxies, no doubt saving them an awful lot of bandwidth, and support calls explaining what a web proxy is and why they have to use it. If privoxy is a web proxy which you have to specifically tell your software about, then no. The kind of thing we are seeing here is a proxy/cache which you aren't supposed to know about, or be able to easily circumvent. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/v4lwInuLMrk7bIwRAny9AJ46ObOKmLZdgUPNtpMEci1hgGwhgwCfY0Td /qSiENQwcM5cgHwpcY13CLA= =E87k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
