  1. How can we check which gateway to the real world we are using?

    You can begin with Googling "What is my IP?" Then search via domain etc. You can also use the command prompt and type tracert command......

    Traceroute is a command which can show you the path a packet of information takes from your computer to one you specify. It will list all the routers it passes through until it reaches its destination, or fails to and is discarded. In addition to this, it will tell you how long each 'hop' from router to router takes.

    No, they are using Bluecoats. These use WCCPV2, Gre (47) and mgmt port mirroring. You traffic will not go via the devices directly, but all content will be siphoned off to the side for assessment. If you go somewhere not allowed, you'll get the denied page. If you IM someone something dodgy, traffic moderators will get a log entry with your IP details in.

    I've used racks of these to "look at" 4 different sites geographically, none on a single gateway, and another technology for VoIP monitoring/Quality Control. This is how its done.

    Having *everything* going through a single device is stupid. What the Government have done by saying "We're not going to do it" is, judging by the outrage "we're going to do it, but no longer talk about it"......

  2. Some internal flights i've been on have certainly been white knuckle. And if the Monks start chanting, you are indeed in rough weather....

    Also, don't sit near the front of the aircraft. The cigarette smoke from the cockpit can be quite uncomfortable at times.....
