Thanks Jimmy. You know I'm blocked again. As of today I considered my proxy as secure. I just like to know what kind of security hole was discovered. If a proxy blocker as been implemented I think it would be fair to say exactly why an address is blocked. Eric Demolli

It was the proxy blocker. But how does it work ? I use Squid cache but there should be no way to connect on my proxy port from the Net. I've added some acl to allow only my internal network IP should I do something else ? How can I be unblocked ?
That's all you have to do, secure the proxy and get a sysop to unblock you. Your computer will be rescanned eventually, and if you've configured your proxy correctly, you won't be reblocked.
How hard would it be for us to have the ability to punch specific holes in our proxy blocker? It seems a shame for Eric to have to reconfigure something because of us. If someone were abusing his proxy, that might be a different matter.
I know that if my home network were to get blocked for this, I'd find it a royal pain in the ass to have to reconfigure.
