My college runs the SmartFilter BESS system for blocking inappropriate sites. This is one of the industry leaders. If you run a proxy or an arcade etc. it is essential to know whether your site is blocked. I can offer this service for the tiny price of: $1 for up to 5 of your sites. To check between 5 and 10, the price is $2 and so on. Other options: Monitoring service: I will check whether your site is blocked every day up until the day it is blocked. This way, you can know which promotion methods will get your site blocked quickest. This is very useful for running experiments. The price for this is $3 for monitoring for up to 2 weeks. If it is still unblocked after 2 weeks, it is just $2 for another 2 weeks of monitoring. If your site is not blocked, I will let you know that, and if it is, I will also let you know what category it is blocked under and provide you a screenshot as proof. I'm offering three completely free reviews, so shoot me a pm if interested.
Have completed this service for Aquarezz. Also, I think another service which you would find even more useful is this: I will check your proxy/site every day twice a day from the day you make it to the day it is blocked. Therefore you can test which methods of marketing get your proxy blocked quickest etc. If anyone is interested in this service, let me know and I will do you a quote. - urbt
Well here is my review (since I can't edit the post above): Urbt answered me fast and posted screens to proof if my sites were blocked or not! Unfortunatly for me they were blocked, but that's good to know that I recommend this service to everyone as it is really intresting to know if your proxy is blocked or not! If I have new proxies I will probably use this service more! Greetz and thanks
Interesting ! I will use this service 1 week after I launched a proxy, to see if it's still unblocked !
Have updated the original post with some more options including a monitoring service which I belive will prove very useful.
From firewalls... schools use them and work places.. so their people won't be on stupid internet pages, but only sites they are allowed to surf too Greetz
Thanks Aquarezz... yes, by blocked I mean school filters that prevent students going on inappropriate sites (ie Facebook, Youtube).
I don't have a solution if it's blocked, but I can let you know what category it's blocked under. This service works for any domain so effectively foreign languages. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Pm me or post here to order.
Sry to Hijack urbts' thread, but I only want to help the people so euhm.. DON'T submit your site to sites like Proxy.org , a cron job automaticly adds all new sites submitted to those sites (mwolk.com and more others) You better first promote it via mails and when it's than blocked, than submit it I have even a much better way in my ebook you can find in my sign but I will stop hijacking now. Sry urbt, but I hope many people learned now how to prevent your proxy for a fast block... Greetz
Just had a proxy tested by urbt, and great news to find out that the proxy isn't blocked! This is a great service for anybody wanting to find out whether it is worth parting with your money to promote a proxy that is blocked anyway... He got back to me really quickly as well, nice guy!
yeah. so you can't test that right? you cannot possibly tell if it is blocked anywhere else but at you're college. you can't have access to each schools firewall to tell.
schools and offices use a program called websense and others. So, basically if your proxy didn't get blocked by those filters, you are fine.
yeah. but if one school blocks it. then it is only blocked there.. no where else.. so who cares if it is blocked by one filter?
The thing is, c0ldMax, most of the filters have similar technologies and so if one filter has blocked it, chances are it will be blocked by lots of others. Also, smartfilter bess provies filtering for the majority of UK schools and many in the USA. - urbt
