I just finished installing a Squid Proxy Server in one of my Linux boxes to be used in our office next week. This is due to the hassles that our PLDT myDSL Biz plan for our office Internet connection is causing us. 
For some reason, there are several sites that myDSL can’t connect to. For now I just found 2 sites which we can’t connect to, namely http://javaverified.com and http://www.squid-cache.org . We can live not being able to access the Squid Proxy Server website but for the Java Verification website, well it’s an important site we need access to for our J2ME applications to be Java certified. I’m not really sure why PLDT’s network can’t access several sites, but based on some research on the net many users are experiencing the same problem and PLDT doesn’t seem to be doing anything about this. I had no choice then but to setup a proxy server on a Linux box from another network just to solve these problems PLDT is causing us.
Oh well, we are also awaiting another DSL connection from Eastern Telecoms which hopefully will be up and running next week. So for now I just have to live with the hassles PLDT has to offer.

Hi. Thanks for dropping by my site.
I would also like to thank you for testing my problematic sites from your end. I guess this only proves that the problem I’m having only happens to certain subscribers who are within a certain IP block.
I got the chance to talk to one of the PLDT tech guys last week and he also claims that at their office they can also access http://www.squid-cache.org and javaverified.com. I already sent them a traceroute, ping, and http over lynx results from one servers directly to their DSL modem, but still haven’t heard anything from them.
