is cgi proxy unblockable?

is cgi proxy unblockable? do i need a vps or dedicated server to run it. if i have a dedicated server, how many can i put in to it. i am talking a one with at 1k unique visitors per day.

 

No all type of proxy is blockable by admin.
If you want to run cgi proxy,then you will need at least VPS coz shared proxy hosting doesn't allow cgi proxy script due to use too much resources.If you have dedicated server then you can put at least 2 cgi proxy,and it muchly depend on the specification of your dedicated server.The more proxy you put,the slower your proxy will become

 

then, is cgi proxy in demand?

 

Most widely used proxy script is Glype, followed by PHProxy.

 

i mean demanded by user as cgiproxy is faster.

 

Proxies are easy to block. Schools, and Businesses have gateways that all traffic goes through. It's trivial for them to say "everything with the word 'proxy' in the domain is blocked" or "block gotofacebook.info". That's why there is so much demand for proxies (lots of them!).

The actual script you run is pretty inconsequential. I like Glype. They are all fast, limited mostly to the speed of the external server (the content has to travel over 2 pipes, from original server to your proxy, then from proxy to the user).

The hosting requires a VPS because proxies run constantly. They aren't that hard on the CPU, but can be horrible on bandwidth. I am running through about a gig an hour of bandwidth on a few of my proxies, and need to be running some numbers soon to see what I can afford to upgrade bandwidth to.

Since they are running constantly and use huge amounts of bandwidth, you'll need a VPS or Dedicated server. I personally am on Slicehost, but they don't seem to have very good bandwidth prices (excellent everything else though), so I am starting to look around.

Good luck w/ the proxy biz.

 

what is pro and con of hosting cgi proxy as a biz person?

 

I'm not sure what you're asking. Pro: You make money. Con: You lose money.

Ways you make money: sell ad impressions (adsense, adbrite, cpa crap, etc)

Ways you lose money: buying hosting, and not getting money from ads (banned from adsense, low traffic, etc).

The type of proxy really doesn't matter much in this equation.

 

i thought cgi proxy is in much higher demand than phpproxy as it is much faster than phpproxy.

 

First, that wasn't a complete english sentence. Also, I've been in the proxy business for a very short amount of time. BUT.... all proxies do the same thing, they get a remote page, rewrite links, and then pass it down to the user.

I'm just not sure why you think that cgi proxy is so much better. If you really think it is, go ahead and install it and see how it goes. Maybe get a few domains, promote them all equally and see what gets better use, or click throughs, or whatever metric you want to keep track of.

 

i finally understand why people use ssl with their proxy site.
