The Proxy Discussion Thread

I'm going to start fresh with proxies (got out of the game for a month or two), any idea whether iWhic.com is good?

 

is good i think but ... all shared proxy hosts will close your account for 15 - 20 % CPU except few

 

Guys, how many of you are using yahoo poster script ? I just got it and was wondering if it will be effective ? any tips for how to use yahoo groups effectively ?

 

I think this is working ok.
I'm sure someone will complain otherwise

// Define Site Skin

// Define site Templates to rotate, Any amount you like (at least one)
$template = array("template1","template2","template3","template4","template5");

// Define rotation interval, Complete days only
$interval = 1;

define('siteSKIN',selectTemplate($template,$interval));

function selectTemplate($template,$interval)
{
$mth = array("0,3,3,6,1,4,6,2,5,0,3,5");
$dispDay = (date(d) + $mth[date(m)-1] +3) % (sizeof($template)*$interval);
$tplIndex = floor($dispDay/$interval);
return $template[$tplIndex];
}

Code (markup):

In my determination not to save anything to file I've based this on a perpetual calender formula that I found online.
(In case you are looking through the code and going WTF?)

 

With code their is always someone who complains...

 

hi guys. this is a nice and smal code that i made for removing all comments from CGIproxy (CGIproxy for those who have used is a 500kb file out of which the actual code is only about 270kb and the rest are comments.)

I would not say that comments are really useless but I think reducing the file size would improve the performance.

Moreover, this for some people might seem a contradiction , because I am using PHPcode to handle that Perl Script. But I cannot do anything about it because I know only PHP.

WARNING: Please try out this code and see if everything works fine. This new file that the code creates has been gving some problems in javascript processing. I dont know why. May be someone more experienced in both the languages can tell me where I went wrong?


Here is it though:

<?php

//Remove comments from CGIProxies: created by champ_rock  http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=32062

$file=file_get_contents("nph-proxy.cgi");

$new=explode("\n", $file);

foreach($new as $single) {
	$single=trim($single);
	$pos = strpos($single,"#" );	
	if  ($pos === 0) {} else {
			if ($single=="") {} else {
					file_put_contents("nph-newproxy.cgi",$single."\n",FILE_APPEND);
							}  
		}}
	
?>

have you noticed any real-world increase in performance?

 

i havent used it in real world as of yet. But I think this should cause a difference simply because the server will have to load a file which is just 270kb rather than a 500kb file. Imagine, when 100 users are visiting ur proxy? I think that should make a difference?

 

never used them, but checked their prices, and they seem to be fair.

 

I don't know why never Chinese visit my proxies , LOL. I don't have even 1 visit from China while some folk here suffering their traffic.

 

If you put your link on the wrong site, people that own Chinese blogs, don't know if they are Chinese, or they just own a Chinese blog. Anyway, they post your link on their blog and you get flooded with the wrong type of traffic.

 

Maybe your proxy is too slow for them(Chinese's)

 

My proxies are pretty fast but as longhornfreak said I don't put my link on every sites for every type of traffic . That's the reason I think

 

BTW Proxy.org will bring you alot of traffic, but from my experience, its bad quality, mainly Iran, Sudan, Hong Kong, China, ect.

 

Speaking of traffic. Anyone hear about Veoh.com blocking traffic? This is one of the big sites on the internet. (Alexa 86)
They went and blocked all kinds of countries Like Brazil, Malaysia, Arab republic, china. I wonder if this is going to be more common place in the future for the internet.
I was little bit surprised to see this done and I think it cuased quite a stir with some people being confused why they did. But I know some of us do this with our proxies, well simple put becuase they suck up our cpu and bandwidth and are not profitable for the amount of resources to serve them.

 

I just made few changes with my proxy topsite. Its PR3 and you can start adding your proxy resources
This thread was really helpful.

 

there are countries from Europe blocked also...

 

Why are you in Europe? Btw when I have this problem. Sometimes on youtube it even says this now "this video not available in your country". I just fire up putty and use SSH to my server in U.S and make a Socks5 proxy. Really only take about 20 seconds to get it on..... The benefit of having your own server. Right now I'm on Veoh watching U.S only full tv show Aflred hitchhock . lol

 

yes, one of the countries from European Union , i can't access veoh.com , not available

 

Can you tell me please how you ar doing this via putty? I also have a server in U.S. and would like to use it like a proxy


Thanks!!!
