CCing to pro...@so... since it's mainly about 
proxyTools support. I'm not able to post as wa...@ny... 
to yahoogroups any more.

Please join this list for support.

This must have been working in it's extra mode, because the statProxy 
tests below show that CONNECT doesn't work through your proxy.
That means you were using a free (slow) HTTPort server outside.

Neither of these will stop your admins from logging your requests.
I'm not not so sure about HTTPort in that mode actually - it might
be encrypted. You can do that sort of thing if you use an outside 
service.

You are using MS Windows right?
So ICMP doesn't get past your firewall.

Master.pl will tell you if any TCP ports are open, but I doubt if 
there are any. Get the latest release first.

Hmm ... I should make that output look a bit more friendly. :-)
Anyway, it tells you that your proxy won't allow any kind of CONNECT.
That includes 443, which means you can't even access secure web sites.
I presume you can't even use this proxy to log in to hotmail, for 
example?

I'm a bit worried about why you have no IP address.
What operating system are you using?

You also seem to have an old copy of statProxy; better get the 
latest (September) release.

Then run master.pl and send me the result.
