Eventually I found a proxy from [User:Pi Delport/SAIX Proxies - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Piet_Delport/SAIX_Proxies) that seemed to work. Experiment with those and see if you find one that works. Cheers Farrel ---

How did you find out about the problem? ---

Ah, I see the proxy does not work on the SSL port 443. Could be the problem. ---

That’s the same problem I had (being sent back to the login page). Eventually one of those proxies worked for me. I’m not at home at the moment so I can tell you which one I use at the moment. Will update the thread when I get home. Farrel ---

Kinda sad that all of South Africa can’t log in to RubyForge.
