openbrowsing.com proxy site for sale

    I'm thinking of selling my proxy sites and I'm going to start by trying to sell this one, Open Browsing.

    I don't really like proxy sites and, although the domain name could be used for other things, I just can't be bothered to try and turn it into something else.

    The site has made $319.46 since July 1st 2007 in adsense, and I put widgetbucks on the proxified pages which has made about $10 so far in a month.

    I have put a htaccess rule to try and block visitors from China as they were maxing out my bandwidth.

    Anyway I'll set the starting bid at a miserable $40 and see where it goes. :)

    P.S. I do intend reinvesting whatever I make back into a site from DP (anything but another proxy site!), so if anyone has a similar, or slightly lesser with potential, earner I will consider a swap.

    I knew I'd miss something.

    Auction ends at 9pm GMT on Monday 3 December (tomorrow). I may not sell it though if I don't get a high enough offer, or a good enough swap offer.



    cooldude7273 is currently winning with $60, and there has also been a swap offer that I will look at now.

    Got your PM. The adsense for November is only just over $10 because I blocked out a load of IP ranges where most of my traffic was coming from to stop the site causing my reseller account bandwidth going over.

    I have this code in the .htaccess file as the traffic was too overwhelming for my account:

    <Files *>
    order deny,allow
    
    # Chinese IP addresses follow:
    deny from 58.22.0.0/15 58.56.0.0/15 58.58.0.0/16 58.59.0.0/17 58.60.0.0/14 58.82.0.0/15 58.208.0.0/12 58.246.0.0/15 58.248.0.0/13 59.32.0.0/13 59.40.0.0/15 59.42.0.0/16 60.12.0.0/16 60.28.0.0/15 60.194.0.0/15 60.216.0.0/15 61.4.64.0/20 61.48.0.0/13 61.128.0.0/10 61.135.0.0/16 61.145.73.208/28 61.179.0.0/16 61.183.0.0/16 61.184.0.0/16 121.32.0.0/14 124.236.0.0/14 159.226.0.0/16 165.21.0.0/16 202.66.0.0/16 202.96.0.0/12 202.96.128.0/18 202.108.0.0/16 203.69.0.0/16 210.5.0.0/19 210.51.0.0/16 210.192.96.0/19 211.76.96.0/20 211.78.208.0/20 211.90.0.0/15 211.136.0.0/13 211.233.70.0/24 211.144.12.0/22 211.144.160.0/20 211.152.14. 211.157.32.0/19 211.161.24.128/26 218.0.0.0/11 218.56.0.0/13 218.64.0.0/11 218.96.0.0/14 218.102.0.0/16 218.104.136.128/25 218.242.0.0/16 219.128.0.0/11 219.136.0.0/15 219.138.0.0/15 219.140.0.0/16 219.141.0.0/16 219.142.0.0/16 219.143.0.0/16 219.144.206.128/29 219.147.128.0/17 219.233.0.0/16 220.160.0.0/11 220.181.0.0/16 220.192.0.0/12 220.228.70.0/24 220.248.0.0/14 220.250.0.0/19 220.252.0.0/16 221.11.0.0/16 221.192.0.0/14 221.208.0.0/14 221.216.0.0/13 221.224.0.0/13 221.228.0.0/14 221.238.0.0/15 222.32.0.0/11 222.80.0.0/12 222.136.0.0/13 222.166.0.0/16 222.168.0.0/15 222.172.222.0/24 222.184.0.0/13

    If you remove it the traffic is huge.

    I looked into cheap dedicated last night and realized I can get it for around $50 a month so I think I shall do that instead and put the site on there without any restrictions, unless by some stroke of fortune someone bids a decent offer by tonight.

    I've decided not to sell this site after all. I didn't get a high enough offer, which was my own fault really for buggering up last month's stats with that htaccess file. I should have just moved it to its own server in the first place, which I'm going to do now. :)

    Thanks, I like the name too. Most proxy sites I see on DP have really stupid domain names that don't make any sense. :)

    That's because I was moving it to the new server, it works now. :)
