I had contacted Sify support regarding this earlier this year. The technical support said that the proxy is the only way to access the internet through Sify and that if I wanted to host anything on my machine I would have to buy a static IP.
I launched a complaint regarding this yesterday night. The "call center" guy said remote administration is not entertained by sify. I still insisted they take down my complaint. It took me considerable time to make him understand what I exactly wanted. He just didnt seem to understand that. After putting me on hold for over 5 minutes, he came up with the term VPN (stands for Virtual Private Networking) and asked me if that was what I wanted. I was frustrated so I said "Yes!" :P -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.
