That's a misstatement of the problem.
The problem is that the WGT624 does not correctly handle certain types of traffic which can be shown to be connected to NTL's transparent proxies. This does not indicate that the problem lies with the proxies; it indicates that the router cannot handle certain types of traffic which, by definition, it should handle. Without running a protocol analyser on the traffic between the router and the modem, I cannot say for certain what it is about the traffic that causes the lockups. This is not something I have the time to do.
The router is broken; it crashes and locks up on traffic that other products handle correctly. It also crashes and reboots of its own accord.
Replacing the router is the correct course of action, IMHO.
