Lately I've been unable to access VATSIM servers at 66.98.168.65 although they ping and tracert OK. A tech friend tells me -

" .. your ISP is using a cache proxy. that means all http requests are going through that server but the tracerts/pings are not. I believe that's the problem... an improperly setup or unflushed caching proxy (cache-2.server is the one they have you using)

I'd call your ISP and tell them that you're having a problem that's likely being caused by their caching proxy. They may be able to fix it or perhaps give you instructions on an alternative route."

Advice please on how to deal with this.

TIA
