View Full Version : Poplar Proxy fault
I don't know which of the poplar proxy pool normally serves www.hydrogenaudio.org (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org) - AND this forum as well , but it ain't working!
I've forced a different one at poplar to get there, and here.
to find out which proxy you are running go here: http://www.all-nettools.com/ and run the proxy test... then we will know which proxy is causing the problem ;)

Proxies don't serve a site, they (in theory) speed up your access to it (not in ntl's case though)
I've just tried your link from work, & it was fine-defo an ntl issue I'm afraid.
You need to ring Tech Support.

going to all-nettools will only show which proxy is cacheing the all-nettools page. not which cache is playing up
DOH! - I forgot - I was experimenting with a new filter, to block all the junk packets from UDP 53 to 1026/1027 - the damn thing took the first bit, and missed the second.
So. NO DNS lookup, and forcing a proxy by IP address (not name!) means you don't NEED DNS.
Only this morning, did I realize it felt like a DNS lookup problem.
I was going to note the proxy, but I can't see an IP address indication anywhere.
I'm not sure what logic they spread the proxies with, but each proxy of the set serves a particular range of sites - maybe just by IP address, maybe geographic, or maybe something clever like spreading the busiest sites across all the proxies .... NAH! - it's NTL, after all ;)
That's why when one proxy goes down (and you're NOT forcing), only some sites are down - in this case, what was up were the ones already in my local DNS cache before the filter foulup.
