    I have a base download limit of X mb, if its over that the user gets hit with a captcha

    If it is under that limit it goes through as normal

    if it is above limit Z it just gets denied.

    Cut out 99.99% of the abuse on my proxy.

    People liked to just keep on clicking refresh and redownloading the same thing 1000s of times


    Once a group of IPs used over 400gb on bullshit downloads (repeating over and over every X seconds) in the space of like half a week at the most


    Some strange people out there!


    I also have unique urls, so a url you generate will only work for you and not on 1000s of other bots

    combine all of that with blocking iran and china and there basically is no abuse to report


    and i it pisses of the users they can go to any one of the new 102012 proxys that day, no real issue for me

    Just wrote it one night :rolleyes: well over a few nights

    working with phproxy sometimes seems to have random bizarre moments which make zero sense

    Not something i am willing to currently share either

    I don't think that domain is a problem. When I bought my site(secretipaddress.com), it was a show my ip kind of site, but I changed it to a proxy information site now.

    There's no large demand for proxies here. We all own proxies!

    Is there any free hosting for proxies out there? I had one before but they kicked me out :)
    If not, what's the cheapest out there?

    I've found advertising on mailing lists and social networking sites work best - as those people would be likely to check them at school/work.

    You need to add your google search adsense id (there is a special id for search)
    to config.php for the theme.
    I mainly left the search code in there as an example because it has css styles added to the google code.
    Sounds like I need to fix a few things with this theme and upload it again.:eek:

    I don't think all his problems are theme related, but yes trying another theme will help to rule this out ;)

    EDIT: @ Gurbrinder, Please post Here for help with this theme :)

    Are 468x60 banners better than 728x90? I changed it to the latter recently and nobody is buying links now on adbrite despite the same traffic. I used to have three pages of approved ads before.
