NTL Proxy Servers

Posted on by

NTL’s default trans­par­ent cach­ing proxy server is still broken! Has been since mid­day yes­ter­day.
Thanks to Robin Walker’s excel­lent Cable Modem Troubleshoot­ing Tips I’ve been able to adjust the browsers on all the machines to get round it.

I real­ise that what I should have done is changed my Squid proxy on the fire­wall to use one of the ones that’s still work­ing. That way none of the browsers would have needed chan­ging. Plus I’d still have local caching.

Update: For those look­ing for a proxy. I have set up an exper­i­mental proxy here

A lazy day today :-)
Steve, Kim, and Megan came round. Paula came to do Jan’s hair. I got mine cut too; and Steve his, and Jan did Paula’s hair.

Jamie’s got a heavy cold, which she hates. I’ve star­ted read­ing a new book; Rob­bie Wil­li­ams, Some­body Someday.

And that’s about it, just hanging around chat­ting, play­ing with the kids; Steve was play­ing card tricks on Jamie and Megan. Jan made a nice sunday dinner.

Promp­ted by yes­ter­days fun with the Micro R/C cars, I played Micro Machines V3 on the PSX, which I haven’t played for ages.
