Hi there,

Recently My ISP provider blocked any kind of http proxies can be used in browsers. When I put my proxy settings in my browser, it keeps loading with no response. I've squid proxy running on my own server and worked fine before that modification.
I tried to do traceroute and found interesting thing "4th line" which may indicate that there is a device that receives and filter packets I think:

Now the questions:
- How they succeeded in denying http proxies?
- Is the ip address at the 4th line above means that ISP put us in vpn network so prevents using proxies, or that's a device as I've mentioned?
- Is it possible to bypass that?, something like encrypt my request using such middle software which can act as following:
client ==HTTP request==> Middle software (client side) ==encrypted request==> Squid proxy ==Original HTTP request==> Target
or any other trick?

Any suggestions to bypass this limitation will be welcome,

Thanks in advance.

You might be able bypass it by creating an SSH tunnel to your proxy.

You're right, but I forgot to say that I need to get benefit of my squid server for caching, accelerating and so on. So I need to keep using HTTP proxy.
