Many people seem to be having issues with accessing certain websites using TPG<\/a> Internet service provider. For those who don't know, TPG uses an intercepting proxy (also known as a \"transparent proxy\") which means if you do not specify a specific proxy server in your browser, they have a default proxy which will be used. <\/p>\n

You can find out which proxy is being used for your Internet connection by going here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

To fix this issue, you can nominate a specific proxy server from a list of TPG proxies<\/a> to be used rather than letting TPG picks a random one. <\/p>\n

However, just to be absolutely sure that it is the TPG proxy that is causing these issues, access the websites using a web proxy<\/a> to see if the same problem occurs. If the problem cannot be replicated using a web proxy, it is definitely the ISP proxy issue. <\/p>\n

How to specify a proxy server<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Internet Explorer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tools -> Internet Options
\nIn Connections tab, click on LAN settings
\nTick 'Use a proxy server' and add the proxy address you want to use (eg: proxy.tpgi.com.au) in Address field as seen below
\nProxy - IE settings
\nClick OK
\nClick OK<\/p>\n

In Firefox<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tools -> Options
\nClick on Advanced icon from the toolbar
\nClick on Network tab
\nClick on Settings
\nSelect 'Manual Proxy Configuration:'
\nAnd enter the proxy address you want to use (eg: proxy.tpgi.com.au) (see below)
\nProxy - Firefox settings
\nClick OK
\nClick OK<\/p>\n

You might have to wait for 5-10 mins for your browser cache to be refreshed or you can manually clear the cache. <\/p>\n
