I recently noticed that my ISP, CyberSmart, is no longer forcing their customers to go through their proxy!
I have been doing an IP test regularly here and my results during the day are:
Your IP address is 41.177.14.113
Your reverse DNS resolves to 113.14.177.41-get-oneprice-adsl-for-only-R169.cybersmart.co.za
Your forward DNS resolves to 69.61.60.170. This is not the same as your IP address!
We were not able to detect use of a proxy server.
and during the night:
Your IP address is 41.177.14.113
Your reverse DNS resolves to 113.14.177.41-get-oneprice-adsl-for-only-R169.cybersmart.co.za
Your forward DNS resolves to 41.177.14.113
We were not able to detect use of a proxy server.
I have e-mailed their support department and here is their response:

Thank you - we hope to keep it like this. We need to proxy for capped accounts and
local bandwidth switching.
I am now able to browse sites that have blocked their proxy's IP, download at RapidShare without fighting for an open slot and I am experiencing higher speeds, approx. 42 KB/s for my RapidShare downloads on a 384 kb line, 4 KB/s faster than when my traffic goes through their proxy server. My RapidShare downloads are also not failing anymore
Can anyone confirm this and name any other ISP's in S.A. that are not proxying their international traffic?
