I am trying to use OpenDNS. After setting their primary and alternate IP addresses on my TCP/IP properties and in my router it still did not work - so after testing for a proxy (at OpenDNS's suggestion using using http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test ) and I got the report below. I use Web Africa as my ISP (prepaid) and they say there is no way around this as everything goes through the saix proxy :( . I am sure that others on this forum successfully use OpenDNS - can someone suggest what I can do?

Proxy Test

This request appears to have come via a proxy.

The proxy host is ctb-cache4-vif1.saix.net which has ip address 198.54.202.194
:p
The proxy server has announced itself as 1.1 cbs-cache2 (NetCache NetApp/6.0.4P1), 1.1 ctb-cache4 (NetCache NetApp/6.0.4P1D6)

The proxy informs us that the client host ip address was 41.241.50.189, 198.54.202.162

:) :p

The Lagado Proxy Test shows details of any proxy servers you are using. It is especially useful to expose transparent proxies. These are proxies inserted between your browser and the web, typically by your ISP, and often without you knowing.

Sometimes a proxy will be deliberately hidden so it won't be exposed by this test. In this case you can use the Cache Test to expose stealthed transparent proxy caches.


The Raw Details

Here are the raw details of the request received by this server.

Please Note: The conclusion that the request came via a proxy is based on the presence of at least one of the Via, Forwarded, X-Forwarded-For or Client-ip headers. (see rfc2616 & draft-ietf-http-v10-spec-01 & Squid Configuration Guide & Squid Release Notes 1.1)

Update 08 Feb 2002 by Lagado: Added support for Client-ip header used by some transparent proxies. See more background.

Update 30 Apr 2001 by Lagado: Added Cache-Control: no-cache header to proxy-test responses. This discourages HTTP/1.1 compliant proxies from returning cached test results. Also freshened the document references.
