The :8245 part says connect to the server on port 8245. BYU's transparent proxy only proxies connections destined for port 80. I occasionally set up a web proxy on my off-campus server and use it explicitly, which works because it uses a port other than port 80. (Why? Because BYU often has proxy trouble and this is a way around it. I don't suggest doing something like this to get around their filters unless they're filtering something absolutely absurd like Google (which has also happened in the past))
If you point your browser to http://checkip.dyndns.org/ you'll get the proxied version. * Jay Taylor [Tue, 23 Sep 2003 at 23:08 -0600] <quote> > >> http://checkip.dyndns.org:8245/ > That gives you the browser address...so wont that default to byu's proxy > server? > > --jay > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Hans Fugal > Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 12:39 PM > To: 'BYU Unix Users Group' > Subject: Re: [uug] On-Campus Linux Box NAT Issues > > > im just not sure how to get the external address of this thing now... > > http://checkip.dyndns.org:8245/ > > -- > Hans Fugal | De gustibus non disputandum est. > http://hans.fugal.net/ | Debian, vim, mutt, ruby, text, gpg > http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | WindowMaker, gaim, UTF-8, RISC, JS Bach > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > GnuPG Fingerprint: 6940 87C5 6610 567F 1E95 CB5E FC98 E8CD E0AA D460 > > > ____________________ > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > ___________________________________________________________________ > List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list </quote> -- Hans Fugal | De gustibus non disputandum est. http://hans.fugal.net/ | Debian, vim, mutt, ruby, text, gpg http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | WindowMaker, gaim, UTF-8, RISC, JS Bach --------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 6940 87C5 6610 567F 1E95 CB5E FC98 E8CD E0AA D460
