    Well, don't get your hopes up. DMOZ editors are VERY picky chosing pages to add to the directory. They will generally accept websites that offer very good content or extreme pornography, and your website has neither. If you want to get listed you might have write some (like 100) articles on how to preserve privacy on the internet or on internet security.

    nope, when you apply to become an editor you have to list all the sites you have ever owned and can only apply to a category in which none of those sites falls in. Something like that.

    In fact nothing like that at all.

    There is absolutely no limitation on applying to edit a category in which the applicant has listed or might have listed in the future a site in which he or she has some kind of connection.

    Instant reject. Spelling and grammar would be the first things looked at. And the site itself has one or two of those errors even though it is just a single paragraph of text. It is sloppy, damages your SEO unless you are targetting searchers who can't spell, and lacks credibility. Sloppiness is also something that an editor application reviewer would consider no doubt.

    myspaceproxy1.com - whilst editors can add sites with which they are associated the standard of the sites must be at least as good as competitor sites and most honest editors set a far higher standard for their associated sites even though they need not do so. Your site would not meet the conditions. Because of the associations with Proxies R Us and Fast Free Proxy it is not even clear whether or not this is a genuine site or a gateway to someone else's service. Even with some actual content (100 articles is a bit extreme but a few unique original ones might help) I would rate its listability somewhere near zero and your chances of becoming an editor with the intention of listing it somewhat less than that.
