Subject: Tech: Cleanfeed/Proxy From: Richard Bridge Date: 23 Aug 04 - 03:18 AM BTinternet, one ofthe UK's largest ISPs is now using "Cleanfeed". It blocks a large list of non-approved sites, allegedly limited to those nominated by the Internet Watch foundation as involving child pornography. But it does not say that it is blocking them. Instead you get the 404 site not found error message. BT says it does not log users so blocked and referred - but oddly it released numerical statistics recently, so perhaps it is (covertly) logging the identities of subscribers who try to log onto the listed proscribed sites. This could be worrying as there is no publicly available list of what is prohibited. It may however be possible to get round the BTinternet system by using a proxyserver such as www.proxyserver.net. |

Subject: RE: Tech: Cleanfeed/Proxy From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 24 Aug 04 - 12:28 AM Interesting, but that anon proxy site (www.proxyweb.net) wants to install stuff on my PC, and the certificate is not trusted and not verifiable. |
