Proxy Site Bandwidth Usage

Yes, I use AFF ads in iframe. I have not seen replace google ads, only my AFF iframes.

Thanks for the info.

 

Some sites just dont work, such as myspace (big one) and other random ones I've found.

 

Some answer to the original post..
i ran Undirect.com for two months.. Used about 280GB monthly.

Good luck. And wait for the next boom coming

 

Is that from the router or from cPanel/Awstats/etc?

 

Reading this thread, makes me think I do not want a proxy site!

 

lappy512:
This is RAW router stats, AWStats is not that reliable when talking such issues IMHO.

PS> I had gzip compression on, and a chain of:

Web Interface (PHProxy) ==> Squid ==> Privoxy ==> Tor ==> Client

Interface: To Get User's Input
Squid: To Cache Content
Privoxy: To Cheat
Tor: To Change IP's

Good luck, and as i mentioned above, be waiting for the big boom

 

Yes I know, I usually multiply Awstatsx5 or so...

I used to use 100GB/day until the middle east traffic got blocked, now it's like 40-50GB/day.

Gzip off.

Nice chain!

 

You sure other sites weren't leeching bandwidth from you? 100GB a day seem's like a lot for a proxy site.

Here are my stats for a proxy site in May

 

Yeah i am sure there was no leeching..

You should multiply that AWStats reported 51GB x5->x8 times depending on GZip compression state and the nature of server structure.

What i mean is that AWStats counts only the data actually sent upon a 302/200 HTTP reply codes, while your provider counts all the traffic passing eth0.. AWStats does not count all data as some gets redirected, some gets blocked, some gets 301 to another resource and etc..

I bet your site gets at least ten times the amount AWStats shows you.. Try implementing a more professional reporting tool, or just dump the RAW eth0 traffic stats daily using some crontab job and see the monthly sun, you will be amazed.

Thanks, that chain helps a lot, specially to insert tricky popunder windows on some pages onmouseover and/or onunload.. used to get me some great advertisement credits.

Good luck, Ruslan

 

So where do you guys get good/cheap hosting for your proxy sites from?

If anyone has the answer please let me know immediatly as Im really interested.

Thanks everyone for your help.

 

you can get away with hosting it at dreamhost until it gets relatively large. then they'll completely disable the domain. you're best off with a dedicated server.

 

Can I ask how people get so many visitors to there proxy sites? Is it through word of mouth, or advertising, or search engines?

 

I was receiving more than 300 unique visitors a day to my test proxy after just mentioning it on The Tech FAQ Forum.

 

Any other people? Thanks for sharing your insight will.spencer

 

submit it to topsites, proxy.org, use co-op, do some seo, and advertise it. traffic will skyrocket from there.

 

http://w00tage.com does about 80GB / month for bandwidth, 20,000 uniques.

 

My experience with proxy is more resource issues then bandwidth

 

just use glype
it is great
fast
less space and bandwidth
