It appeared to be a routing issue, which they blamed on my end. I simply built a tunnel to another part of the country (actually did this 3 times) and routed traffic to them over those tunnels one at a time. I found that their connectivity to 2 major providers was flakey at best. They used my traceroutes to get things working again.

Re: [WISPA] OT, IE is allowing strange things
Even if you use an anonymizer or a public vpn tunnel (different names for the same thing) you will just have their ip address and you'll get location specific info for their area. I live in Venezuela and my google searches keep going to google.co.ve (which prioritizes sites in Spanish which I can read buy usually are not the results I'm looking for) and I keep steering it back to google.com. But when I clear my browser and go back to google I'm back at google.co.ve again. These companies think they're being helpful and for most people it probably is.

Its your IP address. The same way the Porno ads show you all those fantastic looking women in "Naples Idaho".

Re: [WISPA] OT, IE is allowing strange things
OK, so how in the heck does a person insure that he's going to the web site he really wanted to go to? What in the world is wrong with these companies? sigh Gee officer, I have NO idea how I ended up down here in CrackHead Alley. I put the car in drive, set the cruise control, turned onto main street and the next thing I knew I was parked here in CrackHead Alley. I SWEAR that I didn't intend to go here! sigh marlon - Original Message - From: "D.

Re: [WISPA] OT, IE is allowing strange things
This is based on your whois information on your IP range. Google does this too based on your country. Use a proxy in some other country if you want to change your IP address. ryan On May 7, 2009, at 9:09 PM, Marlon K. Schafer wrote: > OK, this seems simple enough.

[WISPA] OT, IE is allowing strange things
OK, this seems simple enough. Type in www.aaa.com and go to the triple A site right? Nope, it somehow knows that I'm in zip code 99159 and sends me, automatically to www.aaawa.com! How in the world is a web site finding this info in my machine? Where the heck is it stored? How do I make it stop? If I do a google search and click on aaa I can get there, put it into the ADDRESS (NOT search) bar I get redirected to a site other than the one I wanted. I am SOO tired of being controlled! I don't even have the freedom to select the web site that I choose to go to. I mean really? Anyone have any idea how this is possible and how to make the bastards stop snooping? I've deleted all of the search engines that were stuck in the browser, I've tightened up as much of the security that I can find without breaking everything else. Thoughts? Ideas? Please do NOT tell me to use firefox or some other browser. Most of my customers use IE and I have to know how to help protect them. thanks, marlon WISPA Wants You!
