Are proxies likely to get blocked?

 

Yes, considering people are usually using them to access sites they are not allowed to visit. So the school, company, etc would also add the proxy domain to the list of blocked domains.

 

Yep, but the cost of them compared to the revenue each domain earns is good.

 

Hi all,

As I've promised on my previous post, my proxy directory is up. There are just a few design stuff to be fixed but the site is already up and running.

I'll be promoting the site by posting to my regular chinese forums and sending emails to my univeristy friends who are in China. This should bring a huge traffic as most chinese university students depends on friend's to know what proxy to go to.

However, I cannot promote the site when it has little proxies. Therefore I'll start my frist batch of emails and forum post once 25 proxies are registered.

May you proxy earn money

Regards,
James

 

Do you just register more domains and then forward them to your original website?

 

Anyone can host my proxy? gets 400 uniques a day and ran outta bandwidth lol

 

I might be able to soon for a reasonable price. I'm having some problems with nameservers, but once that is resolved it should be alright. How much bandwidth has it used?

Also, I'm selling links on my proxy directory for just $1 a month. It sends out around 20 uniques a day to the sites listed. I setup a subscribe thing at paypal so you dont have to manually pay every month. You can still cancel it though at any stage if you want.

There's some more info here:

I use to point them, never redirect.

Now I just setup a different site for each domain. Http://denyfilters.com

 

I cant afford my site to be blocked, its my search engine lol, maybe I move the proxy away from it to stop me getting blocked!

 

Purchase another domain which you can allow to be blocked.

 

BTW Sohan, if you own http://proxyknow.com/ then you've exceeded the amount of allowed adsense placements (you've got 4, only allowed 3). Just to let you know as Google are already touchy about proxies

 

Actually there's room for one more adsense block on that site.

The limit of 3 is for the ad units, not total. You can also have a text unit and search (for 5 total placements.)

 

Any specific reasons? how would it matter, if you different sites, or many domains pointing at the same thing?

 

if you don't promote it, how can people know about your site??

 

Well if you redirect to your other domain, and it's blocked, they get nowhere.

Submit your self to goodwaiter.com/english.php and proxy.org and they will find you off that.

 

When a proxy gets "blocked" is it generally by domain name or by IP? Both?

Certainly it would be simple to just keep bying throw away domain names, but constantly changing IPs seem like more trouble.

 

Mainly domain, but some companies/countries do IP.


But the main source blocks domains, else I wouldn't get this constant flow from the same IP.

 

i generally block EVERY proxy i learn of by IP or if needed the entire IP range ( /24 - /16 ) if that IP range is used mainly for proxies or similar uses since proxies are the key source of all cybercrime. i also block full IP range of hosts that are origin of hackers - it keeps my life far less expensive and more pleasant.

since I started to block via iptables my site is far more peaceful and the # of hackers went dramatically down.

if you run proxy that ever was involved in any hacker-/cybercrime/spam - activities you may get blacklisted by ISPs and hence traffic goes toward zero ... slowly but surely.

keep in mind that many ISP are interconnected and exchanging security relevant data to keep their network clean and legal

proxies are a RISK factor that casn easily be avoided by full iptables-block

I am happy you folks are making money and I don't want to be a kill-joy; however, have you considered the personal downside to running proxies?

Depending upon where you live you may civilly or criminally liable for hacks, cracks, phishing, harassment actions that your visitors commit using your service. Is a minor using your service and accessing inappropriate material? Is child porn being accessed via your proxy? Remember its your servers IP that is doing the request for the webpage and is being logged.

The scarier part is terror or organized crime types using a proxy to communicate and then you have intelligence agencies taking a look at you hard.

Just a bit of caution in your endevours.
