C-Block-192

Who is this?

[sdtex]

Pardon my pidgin webmaseterese, but this is what I know about this visitor from the Netherlands:

IP Adress: 192.31.106.34
Reverse DNS: proxy1a.external.lmco.com
From/Via: C-Block-192
Origin Location: Netherlands

C-Block-192 sounds like a browser from da Big House, but I suspect that's not it.

Thanks

do you have a user-agent ?
(i've never seen a spider use a proxy btw)

<<how come you know the origin loc is the netherlands? >>

That's just what it says on my website statistics.

Y'all are amazing sources of information -- now can you tell me what this person had for lunch?

But I'm afraid you are going over my head. What's a public proxy? I read the glossary definition for a user-agent but am not clear on that -- would that be something reported on my stats?

There is this:

Mozilla/4.78 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)

I apologize for my ignorance. I'm just a writer with a website trying to figure out who's checking in.

[PsychoTekk]

okay looks like a mozilla browser.. so it's not a spider except it hides its real identity ;)
well public proxies are proxies that are accessable from anywhere and by anyone
..usually corporations use internal proxies to have better performance times,
but those proxies are not accessable from outside the corp.

[sdtex]

By gosh, I think I understand what you're saying!

Could the external proxy connect to an internal proxy via password? I'm curious about why it would originate from the Netherlands. (I'm not surprised it's from Lockheed Martin, since my book is about relocating to Texas and LM has a Fort Worth plant.)

[PsychoTekk]

one can use several proxies in a row...
um well... there are proxies that need user-authentification
then there are some proxies (especially those of corporations)
that allow acces from specified ip addresses only(often, those
corp's have private internet, anyways), so that no user from outside
the corp will use their proxies (use their bandwidth etc)

if that proxy at lockheed needs user-auth and a user from the netherlands
has this password it would be possible... but that's really unlikely

do you have some more info from the logfiles maybe?
