One thing I find annoying about P1 is that they use some kind of transparent web proxy which doesn't always work.
For instance, right now I can not pull up any web pages using P1, but I can ssh, ping, FTP, everything else.
So I tried the following experiment:
1) ssh to a third host, then ssh to my web server in USA.
2) Run a packet sniffer on the web server, filtering based on my P1 IP.
3) From my PC, telnet to port 80 on the web server. I get a connection, issue a GET request, and then the connection closes. All this time, there is no traffic showing in the packet sniffer.
4) Therefore I can conclude that the connection on port 80 was intercepted and answered by a man in the middle, almost certainly at P1.
I've repeated the experiment with other servers at other data centers and observed identical results. So the problem isn't at the server end. And if I use a VPN or plain proxy to reach those servers on port 80, it works fine.
This is the third time in three days I've seen an outage from the P1 web proxy. Normally they just last for a few minutes but one of them was a bit longer.
Hmm, possibly the techs are suspecting something else happening. That's why they intercepted. Anyway, if it is in fact a legit thing then I'd write to P1 in explanation and request for the changes. After all, I'm sure there are web developers and etc who do SSH.

Anyway, no harm informing them I believe.

My concern here is how will it affect some applications such as gaming on my PS3, setting up logmein on my PC to allow remote access, etc. Many forumers have mentioned that gaming P1 is a no-go.
Would like to hear your input on this matter.
Thanks in advance.
I, too, would seriously want to know more about the online gaming. If it's one thing I can't stand now is internet sharing in a household with 4-5 people. My ping in TF2 goes from 50 all the way to 900+.
