Proxy -- the TUHH's www-cache

New

Because of the massive abuse of the university's connection to the internet we have to force the use of the proxyserver for some of our subnets. From now on, the access to the internet over the following nets is only available via proxyserver :

Wireless LAN (for students, adresses 134.28.142.0/24)
NIT apartments (adresses 134.28.69.0/24)
