you are not guilty for the use of the proxy for illegal purposes, TOS acts like a warning in my opinion, ( you inform the user ) by accesing the proxy the user agrees that is the only one responsable for his actions and your service is made for a legal , good cause ( eg.when someone use it to steal , break security codes e.t.c ) This is how i see it
+ if you own dedicated server , the server and ips will be under your own name you are the only responsable for the use of the dedicated server and ips not the provider ( their TOS sais that in most cases) , if the police will search someone will come to your door. With the shared hosting companies is the same i think , if something bad happens you are guilty , their TOS again acuse you directly . This are only few reasons in my opinion
What Google TOS wish to say is not related to proxy TOS you should put its saying the aadvertisers at google may submit ads and goole may implement cookies and tracking in viewer's browsers where ads are displayed and you should let know of the viewers of it. Its just G doesnt want to get bad impression that they are putting cookies in browsers without viewer's notice.
A privacy policy is just a notice to your visitors that say your site use a third party cookies..thats all.
what do you guys think about dedicated IP addresses for each proxy: does it really matter. I do have a bunch of other sites on a common shared Ip that I don't want to get banned. I can get blocks of IPs cheap but am wondering if its really necessary?
it is not worth it but get 2 dedi ip. 1 for normal, 1 for proxies. add new ones as it goes. ip banned has 2 meaning and usually for proxy owners its jsut a site owner blocks access from the ip (proxy). but it is less likely that your shared normal sites will get affected since your share sites are not accessing any sites. they are sites them selves. however if you mean your ip null routed by datacenters due to abuses yes, its problem. Nobody will able to access your ips/any-sites.
Thanks Kaung. From what I've read it seems that its more likely to just have the domain banned rather than the IP? I've blocked China from the server in hopes of keeping the abuse down..for whatever that is worth lol!
yes because if one of your ip from the block is abused, some datacenter block the WHOLE block so everytime you need new ip you have to order by bulk again so not worth it with all trouble ip change for domain and if server provider charge for ips. china blocking is good since most bots come form there.
The ads show nice for me with no problem. Yes, but what if you make your proxy https from the start? Web filtering services will come to the http version and will not know if it's a proxy or not, since it just redirects to https version, but they can not read https sites from what I understand so they can not block it for no reason and users will still be able to access your proxy via either http or https... Correct?
is it also necessary to use Privacy Policy for a Proxy? if yes then can anyone write a privacy policy for proxy for me?
With short Googling I found some privacy policies on proxy related sites which you can use as a base to write your own. http://www.my-proxy.com/com/privacy.php http://www.anonymizer.com/company/legal/privacy_policy.html
i was talkiang about proxy TOS in my messages , the domain can be blocked manually , is not hard because if you want traffic you submit somewhere your sites , then someone will verify them,the daily new proxies if are or not in the list ( someone from the companies who offer such services for another companies, schools... ) This is possible to happen because everyone wants to offer the best system or service to block proxies for example, they can be paid to search daily for them . How i see the things again...
