I, of course, have no control over my ISP's use of Squid, and in the location I am at do not have alternative ISP. I would imagine some KVS users in some locations (esp airports/public access places) may run into similar problems...?
Thanks for the info. While that article did not actually contain any information regarding the particular bug in the Squid transparent proxy server that was causing your error situation, it certainly was correct in stating that "transparent proxying (more commonly known as TCP hijacking) [..] is to be avoided at all costs".

The good news is that there is a work-around and I have just uploaded an updated version. Pls download the latest version (setup screen should say 2.8.0.R1), and let me know...
