Hi All,

I want to access a mud I play on through my shell account. The problem is that when I go to connect I get the following error:

*******************************************
You have an open proxy on your machine.
Close it and try connecting again.
We show your current IP as 69.64.39.174.
*******************************************

The address to the mud is telnet: mud.rod.org port 3000

I believe the problem is that the mud uses a very poor method of open proxy detection. If you block the requests from the mud to the proxy server then this should solve the issue.

This problem has started happening again. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Any help appreciated.

It's probably because there is an (open) proxy running on Moruroa. It shouldn't be accessible by other people except for the user who is running it. The way to fix it, is to kill of the proxy. We can't do that. I suggest you to contact a staff member on our IRC channel, so you can be transferred to the new server (Vanuatu) , where there's no proxy running.

Thanks Rommaster. That would be just what I am looking for.
