Additional info: Your IP address as reported over HTTP is 54.81.157.133 Portscan for port 7023 on 54.81.157.133: 7023: just timed out (blocked by firewall or not reachable at all)What's the deal with this?
Note that even if no proxy is configured in your browser and Internet setting, you can still be subject to have your HTTP connections being done over a proxy. A number of ISPs and/or companies intercept HTTP traffic and silently, "transparently" insert a proxy.
