So you're saying that the first one of these will work and the second will not. Do I understand you correctly?

My point about trying IBM was specifically aimed at seeing a browser picture of what happens if you enter http://129.42.58.216 in your address bar.

I think I understand gwildperson's question. Let me translate it to a slightly different situation.

Can you open either http://171.64.65.102 or http://vspg2v2.stanford.edu or both?

Can you ping either 171.64.65.102 or vspg2v2.stanford.edu or both?

DNS is not black magic - it works for the rest of the Internet...

In this guy's case easiest thing would be to find a VPN to an unfiltered network that can be kept alive indefinitely

Yep. And he get in trouble for violating that country's laws that attempt to protect citizens from the dangers of exposure to certain aspects of foreign culture.

And then you didn't show a picture of your browser when you put the ip address in.

So how is what you showed have anything to do with what would show using the requested process?

You see I have a real problem with the concept that the isp blocks all ip traffic other than urls. URL's are only used at the very start of the process. You put a URL in the address box, then the browser (using direct IP traffic) will go to a DNS server to decode the URL into an IP address. After that point, the browser uses IP addresses exclusively. To block all IP traffic other than URL's implies blocking all IP traffic other than DNS requests. So they have to be doing something other than blocking all direct IP traffic.

I wonder what happens if you replace the authorized DNS servers in your connection with something like openDNS's IP addresses?
on that pic was just giving an example on what i see i was too lazy to upload a pic then post
and this is what i see when i go into ANY numeric address

That was a question I asked earlier only with OpenDNS rather than googleDNS --

Depending upon the software that the ISP installed, there might be issues with the hosts file too for it can take precedence over the DNS server.

You need not have a constant connection with stanford. Only to download a new WU, and to upload a completed WU.

Surely there is a way to refresh a VPN connection when needed. Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with VPNs.

You'll probably have to go to paid VPN services to get a good quality connection ...

It wouldn't help : the FAH client doesn't access to domains ... it directly accesses IP addresses which seems to be forbidden for owned66.

There is not need to argue about the possible solutions since there are only two :
- to use of a proxy (which uses an url and not an IP address)
- to use a VPN (which also allow access by url and not IP address)

Here is a good place to start to choose a VPN provider : http://www.start-vpn.com/ (you'll find a huge list of providers and some tests and user opinions).
