Can someone explain this (corporate) trendnet.org web-proxy behavior?

Remember - it's not *me* that's using this trendmicro or trendnet
product.

An institutional computer owned by one of our customers has this unknown
trend product on *their* PC, and it's causing their hits to our server
appear as if they're coming from:

150.70.172.105
(iad1-wtp-gd-maya5.sdi.trendnet.org)

150.70.75.177
(sjdc-wtp-g2-maya4.sdi.trendnet.org)

The domain trendnet.org is indeed owned by Trend Micro.

So my question (again) is - what Trend Micro security product has the
effect of routing some (or most, or all?) of the http-get requests on a
client PC through a trendnet.org machine?

And - why not use a US-based machine for US-based clients? Why use a
machine located in Japan?

That pretty well answers my question concerning berating. Hard to believe
you're in some fashion tied into any I.T. work ...Scary infact...

Good luck getting the answers you seek with the kickass attitude you
consistently display. The DNS one being the funniest so far.

Why not ask trend?
