The Proxy Discussion Thread

stikki.. you can submit to proxy topsites like proxysitelist.info and proxyliste.com to get started. That's basically the most effective free advertising you're ever going to get. Other than that you can try submitting to yahoogroups and googlegroups. There are some groups geared especially towards people looking for new proxies to unlock social networking sites.

 

Hi guys.

Anyone know where I can find free templates that supports YouTube and other video websites?

Thank you.

 

CGIproxy supports flash natively so it supports most flash based apps.

Hey Nash, glad to see you back again buddy

CGIproxy is pretty much the only choice if you're looking for 'generic' flash support, as it has a built in decompiler to proxify flash files on the fly...

All the other PHP based proxy scripts (Zelune, Glype, PHProxy and anything else like it) don't have that level of parsing built in and rely on site specific fixes to work around it.

If there is only one or a handful of sites you need to work, going the PHP route will save you a small fortune in dedicated server resources as the scripts are much lighter weight, but if you're after that 'generic' support then dig deep, get yourself a really nice dedicated box with lots of ram, and learn to love CGIproxy...

 

woops
what a romantic claim
seems you are in love with CGIproxy !

lol
nice post Rep added

and do you know how to decrease the BDW usage of a PHProxy script?!
seems its using much more rather than zelune

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Long time no see, hows it going bro?

I have a dedicated server specs with high specs, optid for proxys, so I guess it isn't a problem with what I use. I get around 29K+ a day now on my proxy website (see sig), so I guess bandwidth may become a problem in the long run?

Just need help setting one up, with a template and what not.

 

what did you use to encrypt the source like you did? I have been looking thru google for a few days but I have never found the answer, closest I have come is java unescape, but that doesn't work with php code (just xhtml). An example of the encrption I am taking about is <script>l1l=document.all;var naa=true;ll1=document.layers. If you don't want to give away your secret I understand, thanks anyways.

 

Nah, I can't stand CGIproxy. Too much bloody effort to get it fully optimized, although it is the better technical solution overall. You just need to have the patience, the ability and the resources to build a decent CGIproxy, and I'm impatient

As for PHProxy, it's almost always going to use more bandwidth than pretty much any other script as for starters it doesn't use cURL (much more efficient) and by it's design PHProxy does a number of really stupid things when it comes to handling remote files.

It doesn't honor browser cache headers for starters (which means every file comes down for pretty much every page view, whether it needs to or not), downloads whole files then decides whether or not they are too big, waits until it has the whole file rather than stream binary files out as fast as they come in (Glype, CGIproxy do this), no built in hotlink protection at all...

It's a big list, and it goes on...

 

almecho is right, I'm not sure why anyone still uses phproxy, its terrible.

 

dont be making them to go directly to depression with proxy business

 

Hi All -

I am now offering premium targeted advertising on my network of Mailing Lists and Groups! The thread is located here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=787838

Thanks for looking!

 

For a long time it was simply the easiest to obtain and setup, and permitted by most web hosts that were afraid of CGIproxy...

PHProxy in terms of it's web parser is quite simply 'good enough' without going to the server resource hogging lengths that CGIproxy, Glype, Surrogafier and other scripts that ultimately offer better technical solutions.

Like CGIproxy, if you take the time to properly customize PHProxy (cURL, chunked data transfers, hotlink protection, browser and/or server side caching), then it becomes an absolutely brilliant, lightweight proxy that you can just throw an amazing amount of traffic at without bogging down a server.

It's just getting a handful of popular individual sites to work properly (like MySpace, YouTube, Yahoo, Orkut, Facebook) that is an exercise in patience, and it's only if you want Java heavy sites like those to just work that is the real reason not to use it...

 

I use phproxy because I can modify it any way I want. I can block countries, I can set max limits, inserting ads on proxified pages is easier and I also find there are more themes for phproxies.

 

Any Glype templates with great CTR?

I also want to know how, but I think he won't share it

EDIT: I already know now how, lol. I think we have the same idea. Moo.

 

If you still need this let me know I just launched one today

 

Just make sure it does not get blocked by Bluecoat ;P

 

It will within a day or so which I am fine with as I don't feel right having kids access sites using one of my sites from any school k-12. So I have a different target audience

 

So No thanks

 

The problem with PHProxy is the way it does some of those things though.

You can set max limits, and it will honor them, but it does so after it has the content on the server. ie. You set the limit at 10MB max, and I try and download a file that is 500MB through your proxy. This is what happens...

browser makes request -> downloads remote file to server -> (possibly just times out here as the script will likely exceed the max allocatable memory for php) -> checks file size -> replies that file is too big...

This is the way a more efficient script would handle it (and a number of them do)

browser makes request -> requests remote file -> checks file size in received headers -> replies that file is too big without bothering to download the remote file at all...
