    In my mind, proxy users are kids trying to get around school restrictions (ie myspace.com), people who want to hide their surfing, and office workers trying to get to web email. Is that a majority of human (as opposed to bots) users?

    I agree with you, these are the type of people who I would expect to use proxies.. well atleast for the majority of the time. Isn't this the purpose of proxies in the first place? :)

    So besides Adsense, how would you monetize a proxy information page? Acne treatment and ipod accessories?
