How does transparent proxy evasion work?
Transparent WWW proxies are implemented so that if you connect to a WWW site, it automatically detects that this is a WWW request, not for example FTP. This is done by checking that the destination port is the WWW default, 80. All of this traffic will be transparently routed through a proxy. Our file server operates in both the default port, as well as 8080. When you download a game, the connection is made to port 8080, and your ISP’s detection mechanism will be fooled. This will not affect the speed in any way. Using this method, you won’t get banned if someone using the same proxy does something stupid that triggers the ban for him/herself. Certain big corporations restrict outgoing traffic heavily, only allowing WWW traffic through via port 80. There is a second download method listed on the download page for them. If you get banned using this, go bash your work mates, not us :-).
