Hi,

I've just got a Telewest broadband with a Linksys WRT54GS router in London.
Previously I had NTL broadband in Scotland with some weird router and I could perfectly access anonymous proxy servers (I use ProxySwitcher). But after switching to Telewest in London, anonymous proxies do not work.

There are hundreds of anonymous proxies, and only several Australian ones work, but very slow. This is very suspicious. I cannot ping them, and tracert does not work. The trace requests pass Telewest servers, leave the UK, and then stuck in different points with request timeouts.

Does anyone know what is the reason? Are anonymous proxies banned by Telewest somehow? Or is it a Linksys router issue? I've tried playing with different settings, but it did not work.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
