you took the words right out my mouth, guess I'll just stick with Glype & PHproxy for now. Thanks kaung for answering my questions.
well you need time to mod a cgiproxy and also tweak it. If all done right, cgi proxies are "easiest" and all seem to auto work with many freatures such as myspace/facebook etc and no need for plugins and such. Then it'll become powerful = visitors. The well known proxify.com is using a cgiproxy i guess. and only few cgiproxies but they are more famous it seems.
Running more then 15-20 is pushing it on quad-core with 8gb of ram. The more proxies you have, the more ram mod_perl will use per connection. A quad with 2GB is a waste of a quad (for cgiproxy anyway). thewird
how proxies are blocked.... : "Proxies are effectively blocked through a combination of * blocking the Security.Proxy category, * blocking access to all unknown URLs, * blocking non-http traffic to blocked IP addresses" and another thing : "CGI proxies are more difficult to recognize and isolate because of their range of variation and the more time-intensive analysis required to identify the web servers supporting the execution of the proxy CGI scripts and programs. Through a comprehensive analysis of identified proxy domains" hmm...
yes but if the owners of the site visited really want to know who stopped by, they can regardless, right? (If they know about programming)
depends on the proxy script and how its coded; the script can give only proxy site's ip or ip can be trackable back to "main surfer". However what the visted site owner will see is proxy ip most of the time. but then if it becomes a concern, proxy site owners are bound to give true info to them.
The number of proxies that can successfully run on a single server not only depends on the server specs and script being used but also depends a great deal on the amount of traffic the proxies on the server are receiving.
i'm actually curious about this as well... with an ioncube encoded phproxy solution i can get a 2Ghz Core2 box with 2GB of ram to handle 7,000 visitors a day with no problems, and a Quad Core Xeon 3220 with 4GB to easily handle over 25,000 visitors a day. When I moved 5,000 of the users on the Xeon over to a Glype proxy, that server overloaded during peak times and didn't even get to 17,000 that day, ostensibly as a result of the more complex parser handling the javascript. I'd be interested in knowing what kind of visitors a stock install of cgiproxy, with javascript parsing enabled, mod_perl but no squid could potentially handle, and no-one ever seems to go in to any specifics, and always just using "it's a esource hog" as the reason they don't use it...
Alot of the commerical filters will autoscan a Unknown domain with a bot or allow access to it and put in a queue to be scanned. If it checks right away the proxy will get blocked and categorized instantly if you have any words like "proxy" on it. Remember keywords are what the filter looks for so you plaster bad words all over it, your just shooting yourself proxy is useless for anyone with a commerical filter. Unless you get there IP addresses then you could give a fake page. But you would need to buy there software and most cases and do research to get there IPs. For example I found some IPs of Bluecoats bot from XOXO communications. Which says nowhere "bluecoat inc" in the Whois information.
HI guys.... I have been working on a proxy network and finding ways to promote free & paid Can you recommend me some ways of promoting how you proxies get successful Is there some one offering proxy advertising? Let me know through PM Thanks!
There are lots of ways to promote proxies for free..Some of the ways can be found: http://www.webproxytalk.com/proxy-promotion-advertising-f-18.html and http://www.webproxytalk.com/proxy-traffic-promotion-services-paid-free-f-29.html
everyone in my college uses proxies as the college bans a lot of websites such as facebook, myspace etc.. so me and my friend setup a proxy and brought a look a like domain for the site, it was the same as the college site address but instead of being a .ac.uk it was a .co.uk and it has never got banned
Because within hours of your proxy getting its first back link it will be spidered and categorised by websense and the rest of the web filtering companies (and I REALLY do mean within hours) and then it will be blocked in every office and school across the world that has a semi up to date network (i.e. most of them).
is in vain to buy domains , proxies die very fast , if will not be blocked in 2 weeks you are lucky this is my opinion Check here if your ip or proxy is blocked and see how useless is your domain even after 2 days and you paid for one year... One Checker blocked means security proxy category ( automatically or manually reviewed ) and this is not the best....
Threw research, I installed their software on my computer, bought a new .info plastered proxy all over the page and visited the site. The proxy was blocked instantly. Check the log, my IP was there and there was another 1 IP. It was a positive match.
you mean http://www.lightspeedsystems.com could check the proxies to see if they are blocked or not ?!
