Sentech HTTP Proxy server does it exist?

[Duan]

I have just spoken to the "no help desk" and it seems that Sentech does not have a http proxy server running. Is this possible?

One would think that any service provider worth its salt would be running a http proxy in order to save on costly international bandwidth as well as to increase speed...

Two Cents? What? I have to pay????

They use a transparent proxy. It's there but you, the user, dont have to configure yourself to use it. You use it whether you want or not

Well, from my understanding, we do run against a transparent cache like proxy.

h4rth : is there a way to not go through this proxy then? Because I have to actually put in special requests to get things done.

Ok so here is the setup:

I have 2 PC’s at home: Mine and my wife’s.

My PC is connected with MyWireless and is running “602 Lan Suite 2004” (a small email server and web proxy) this speeds up things quite a lot for browsing etc.

The problem is that I need to setup my local proxy server with a parent proxy. As the proxy is transparent I guess I should just leave it blank…

Any thoughts?
