Proxy List - Short History of Domains

All proxies and proxy list have domains - so how long have they been around and how many are there?

During March '85, the earliest commercial Internet domain name (.com) was registered within the identity Symbolics.com the computer systems business in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

By '92 under fifteen 1000 dot.com domains had been listed. In Dec '09 there was 192 million domain names. A large percentage inside the .com TLD, which in turn since March,'10 now have 84 million domain names, which include 11.9 million business online along with e-commerce web-sites, 4.3 mil fun web pages, 3.1 , 000, 000 money related websites, plus 1.8 mil sports entertainment websites. These sort of numbers explain why it is not always easy to get your sites noticed on the web.

Proxy List - PHP and its use with Proxies

Many proxies and proxy lists use PHP as their scripting language. An example is this proxy list and many of the proxies listed such as glype and phproxy. The following is a little background on PHP.

PHP is known as a standard purpose scripting language that is particularly suitable for server side world wide web development where PHP usually runs on an internet server. Almost any PHP program code in a required file will be performed through the PHP runtime, generally to create dynamic web page content. It can also be used for command line scripting as well as client-side GUI applications. PHP is usually deployed on the majority of web servers, many os's and systems, and can be used with many relational database management systems. It can be obtainable free of charge, as well as the PHP Group supplies the total source code for customers to create, customize and extend for their personal use. PHP mainly behaves as a filter, taking input coming from a file as well as stream containing text as well as PHP directions and outputs an additional stream of data normally the output will be HTML. Since PHP 4, the PHP parser compiles input to produce bytecode with regard to processing through the Zend Engine, providing improved efficiency over their interpreter predecessor.

Initially made to create dynamic website pages, PHP now focuses mainly on server side scripting, and it is much like other server aspect scripting languages that provide dynamic content from a web server towards a client, for example Microsoft's Active Server Pages as well as mod_perl. PHP has also drawn the introduction of many frameworks that provide building blocks along with a design structure to market quick program creation (RAD). Many of these include CakePHP, Symfony, CodeIgniter, as well as Zend Framework, offering features much like other web program frameworks. The LAMP structures is now popular in the internet business as a means of deploying world wide web programs. PHP is frequently utilized as being the P within this bundle alongside Linux, Apache and MySQL, although the P also can make reference to Python or Perl or some mixture of the 3. WAMP packages (Windows/ Apache/ MySQL / PHP) are also available. At the time of 2007, over 20 mil Web domains acquired web providers hosted upon servers with PHP installed and mod_php has been recorded as the most used Apache HTTP Server module. Substantial websites are designed in PHP comprising the user-facing component of e.g. Facebook, Drupal as well as Moodle.

Use of Linux Operating System with Proxies and Proxy Lists

Most proxy sites and proxy list use servers running Linux operating systems.

Linux relates in the family of Unix similar to computer operating systems using the Linux kernel. Linux is usually installed on a multitude of computer systems, which range from mobile phones, tablet computers and video game consoles, to mainframes and supercomputers. Linux is actually predominantly identified because of its utilization in servers; in '09 it held a server share of the market varying in between 20 and 40 percent. Most desktop computers operate either Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X, having Linux possessing between a low of an believed about 2 percent of the desktop market in order to a high of believed about 5 percent. Nevertheless, desktop use of Linux is now progressively popular nowadays, partly because of the widely used Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, and other distributions and the emergence of netbook computers as well as touch screen phones running an embedded Linux. The development of Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source collaboration; typically every one of the fundamental source code can be used, freely altered, and redistributed, either commercially and non-in a commercial sense, through any person within licenses such as the GNU General Public License. Typically Linux is packaged in the format known as a Linux distribution with regard to desktop and server use. Linux distributions include the Linux kernel as well as every one of the supporting software necessary to run a complete system, for example utilities as well as libraries, the X Window System, the GNOME as well as KDE desktop environments, and the Apache HTTP Server. Commonly used programs with desktop Linux systems include the Mozilla Firefox web-browser, the OpenOffice.org office application selection and the GIMP image editor.

The name Linux comes from the Linux kernel, initially coded in the early nineties. The primary helping consumer space system tools as well as libraries from the GNU Project are the foundation for the Free Software Foundation's favored name GNU/Linux.Linux distributions have long been used as server operating systems, and have risen to prominence in that area; Netcraft noted in September '06 that eight of the ten most dependable internet hosting companies went Linux distributions on the internet servers. Linux distributions will be the building block on the LAMP server-software combination (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) that has achieved recognition among developers, as well as which is one of the more common systems for internet hosting. Linux distributions have become increasingly popular on mainframes in the previous 10 years due to prices, in comparison to other mainframe os's. In December '09, computer giant IBM reported it would mainly market and then sell mainframe-based Enterprise Linux Server.

Proxy List - Use of Gmail with Proxies

Most proxy sites allow Gmail access and it works well on say glype.

Gmail is owned by Google and is a free webmail. Its been around since 2007 and has almost 200 million users. It offers quite a bit of storage - 7450 meg. For a fee extra storage can be bought. It is however free based on advertising shown.

As with Hotmail spam is a problem. However everytime a user tags an item as spam that data is used to identify and filter spam globally. There has been some privacy concerns about Google scanning the incoming emails to gain contextual data for its advertising.

10th August 2010

Proxy - Use of Hotmail with Proxies

Many proxy sites offer hotmail access as a default. Some have problem showing it an offer a cut down version (basically the mobile version which works well.

What is hotmail? It a free web based email product owned by Microsoft and has been around since 1996. Its widely used and popular with many features.

The only downside is its also popular with spammers, so watch your filters. Summary, as stated popular with proxy and available to be used via many sites.

8th August 2010

Proxy - Use of Web Cache

In the Glype control panel there is an option To enable cache. In short when cache is enabled on your proxy certain specified types of files are saved into cache on download. When those fiels are next "called" thru a website search, they are called from cache rather than having to be downloaded.

I.e. caching increases speed, reduces bandwidth use and the workload of the server.

The downside of using cache on proxies is it does use quite a lot of space. However is does make browsing faster. In summary if you have a fast server dont bother, but of you have a slow server with losts of spare space, definitely worth a try.

3rd August 2010

Proxy - Apache Servers

A significant percentage of proxies are hosted on Apache servers. Below is some information on them.

Apache is largely employed to serve equally static content as well as dynamic Website pages on the world wide web. Many web applications were created expecting the environment and capabilities that Apache offers. Apache is redistributed included in numerous proprietary software packages including the Oracle Database and the IBM WebSphere application server. Mac OS X combines Apache as the built-in web server and as assistance for its WebObjects application server. Additionally it is supported somehow by Borland inside Kylix as well as Delphi development tools. Apache is included with Novell NetWare 6.5, where it is the default web server. Apache is included with numerous Linux distributions. Apache is utilized for a lot of additional tasks in which content needs to be offered inside a secure and dependable way. One of them is spreading files coming from a personal computer over the internet. A user that has Apache installed on their own desktop may put arbitrary files within Apache's document root which can after that be distributed.

Programmers developing web applications often work with a locally installed edition of Apache to be able to examine and test code as it is becoming developed. Although the primary design goal of Apache is not being the "fastest" web server, Apache is equipped with performance just like various other "high-performance" web servers. Instead of implementing a particular architecture, Apache provides a variety of MultiProcessing Modules (MPMs) that allow Apache to operate in a process-based, hybrid (process and thread) or event-hybrid mode, to improved match the demands of each particular infrastructure. This implies that selecting correct MPM plus the right configuration is important. Where compromises in performance are necessary, the structure of Apache would be to reduce latency and boost throughput, relative to simply handling additional requests, thus ensuring steady and reliable processing of requests within reasonable time-frames.

The program license under which software from the Apache Foundation is distributed is actually a distinctive the main Apache HTTP Server's background and existence in the open-source software group. The Apache License permits the circulation of simultaneously open and closed source derivations of the source code. The actual Free Software Foundation does not find the Apache License to be suitable for version 2 with the GNU General Public License (GPL) in that software licensed within the Apache License cannot be built-in with software which is distributed within the GPL.

Proxy - Adobe Flash, what is it and how does it impact Proxies?

Flash is used adding animation, MP3 and video on websites and mobile phones. Often used with games and adverts.

Adobe has owned for some years and continues to develop it. Users of proxies generally expect to have access to and use as the program is so widespread on so many multimedia platforms.

In the Glype Control panel it is possible to exclude the use of Flash and various other objects. Your proxy will run faster and there will be a slightly higher degree of anonymity. That however needs to be balanced against what the user expects to be able to do and see on the site.

Proxy - What are Server Error Logs and How are they Used?

Servers generate several types of logs for review - some more important than others.

For example one type records user activity and another errors.

For your proxy you will mainly be interested in the error logs as this is the most important log (i.e. those that if not reviewed could have an adverse effect on your server). It shows security warnings where there may be malicious activity. Diagnostic information is also shown and errors occuring during user activity. Logs should be reviewed to pick up problems before they become major issues.

Proxy - What is Facebook and why is it important to Proxy Users?

Social networking is what Facebook is all about. Its been around since 2004 and boasts half a billion users. It connects friends and connects organisations such as schools and colleges. It allows those joined to the friends and organisations to know what is happening with them as they update their pages or groups.

The use of proxies comes into this equation as counties such as Iran, Pakistan often block for political reasons and schools and organisations often block for policy privacy and perceived time wasting issues.

Facebook is the largest of the social networking sites.

27th July 2010

Proxy - What is Youtube and why is it important to Proxy Users?

Youtube is all about sharing videos online. Its been around since 2005 and is currently owned by Google.

The video can be music related, tv, news, movie or created by amateurs. If you are registered, you can upload (so content can be monitored more easily) but if you just want to watch or listen, registration is not required.

Its attactions for proxy users is the easy access to the latest and best in the media - for free. The reason it is so widely blocked is it hosts politically related media (e.g. of China riots). Counties who often block include China, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Thailand, Libya and Morocco. Schools and business especially the US, also block over bandwidth, policy and other matters.

25th July 2010

Proxy - What is TOR and how does it work?

TOR (or The Onion Routing project) has been around the proxy world for awhile now. Basically it encryts traffic like standard proxies but via server layers of encryption - hence the onion concept. Traffic is sent from router to router to ensure secrecy.

Its free to use - a software is downloaded to the users desktop and the connections are generated from there.

Note the US government has no trouble monitoring due to various legal requirments. The main downside however is TOR is well known to be slow.

22nd July 2010

Proxy - What is an SSL Certificate and how is it used with Proxy?

An SSL certificate (or Secure Socket Layer) encryts traffic over the internet. Its designed to stop third parties accessing what users are doing on the internet. I.e. it provides a high level of confidentiality to the proxy users (used for many other non proxy sites for e.g. paying by credit card).

The certificates are bought from the same source as the domain. They need to be installed onto the server.

Are they worthwhile? They are not cheap - starting at about $25 each (per site) they make a proxy owners break even quite high. Personal experience suggests a) they are difficult to install for a beginner and b) no more traffic is generated for a site with an SSL certificate than those without. Summary, at least for a beginner, dont bother.

Proxy - Can You Play Online Games via a Proxy?

In a word yes - you can play online games via proxy sites. They work the same way as accessing other sites via proxies - i.e. you go to the proxified page, search for the required url and start playing

In fact online games such as arcade, brain teaser, dress-up and hidden object are among the main uses of proxy sites.

Proxy - Problems with Users Accessing Myspace via Proxy

This happens everyonce and awhile. Why> Because MySpace sees alot of traffic coming to it from a small number of ips and blocks it probably under the impression it is spam (or wasting bandwidth). If you are with a provider that specialises in proxies (such as fdcservers.net). This can happen a few times a year.

The solution - either wait it out or place a call with the supplier. Without a fix you will be offering less than optimal service to you users.

Proxy - Slow Times for Proxy and Free Proxies

There are basically two significant slow periods (in the USA) for free proxies and proxy beyond the short term effects of say Xmas, Easter and national holidays (such as Memorial Day, Independence Day and Thanks Giving).

The first is Spring Break which is (theoretically) a study leave time starting from March to April (schools are different). The effect is spread over that period and of recent years has not had the strongly negative effects on proxies earnings it has had in the past (still down 15-20%.

The most significant proxy earnings effect is over the Summer Holidays - dependent on the school this can run all the way from May until August. Proxy earnings can be down to 20% in that period. Very painful, but that can be mitigated by building up non USA school traffic (people using at work or home) and non USA traffic (UK, Australia etc).

29th June 2010

Proxy - Server Setup

Setting up a servers for proxy sites is not the same as for standard sites. Your server (assuming Apache) must be set up to reduce bottlenecks inherent with running proxy scripts.

Settings such as MaxClients, keepalive timeout, connect timeout, requests per child, and max keepalive requests all have a significant effect optimizing for proxies. For example keepalive timeout is often set at 1. This keeps client slots clear and ready for other users. On non busy non proxy sites this is often say 15 seconds. Having that high would severely effect your sites speed. You will have to experiment but adjusting these settings will save you cpu, ram etc and make your sites run faster. A detailed version of this is at http://www.freeproxies.org/blog/2006/09/03/free-proxies-guide-to-performance-tuning-apache-for-mod_perl-and-cgi-proxy/

Free Proxies - Thoughts From The Webmaster

There are immense advantages to using proxies - the main one being the ability to research topics topics of interest to you which however you do not want others to know you are researching. Obvious ones are around repoductive health (e.g. contraceptives, pregnancy tests), politics and religion.

There are many belief systems worshiping various Gods with different rituals and methods of worship and moral codes. Faiths such as Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddisim can be researched. Within those broad headings there are Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Sunni, Shi,ite, and many more.

In America for example 75% of the population are Christian, mostly Protestant but there is also practicing e.g. Jews, Moslems, Buddhists and more. And within the Protestants there are e.g. Mormans, Anglicans, Presbyterians and many more. In summary proxies allow you to find about Religion and other private matters without others being aware.

Proxy - Information on Google Adsense

AdSense is an advertisement providing application run by Google Inc. Site owners can enroll in the program to enable text, image, and video advertisements on their websites. These advertisements are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression foundation. Google beta tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 for a DoubleClick offering (also held by Google). Google earned 30% of total revenue, through AdSense. Google uses its Search on the internet technology to serve advertisements based on website content, anyone's physical location, and other factors. Those wanting to promote with Google's targeted advertisement system may enroll via AdWords. AdSense is now a popular approach to placing advertising on a website since the advertisements are less intrusive than most banners, as well as the content of the advertisements is frequently relevant to it.

The usage of proxy is allowed but if you are using a proxy to enter your adsense account your own account will be disabled. It has been seen lately that can be used proxies for logins, but sign up must be coming from a real computer. Numerous websites utilize AdSense to monetize their content. AdSense have been particularly important for delivering advertising and marketing revenue to small websites that don't hold the resources for developing advertising sales programs and sales people. To fill an internet site with advertisements that are strongly related the topics talked about, webmasters implement a short script within the websites' pages. Websites that are content-rich have been very successful with this advertising system, as noted in a number of publisher case studies within the AdSense website.

Some webmasters invest significant effort into maximizing their very own AdSense income. They use an array of traffic generating techniques, including but not limited to online advertising. They construct valuable content on their websites that draws in AdSense advertisements, which pay the most if they are clicked. They use text content on their websites that encourages visitors to click on advertisements. Note that Google forbids webmasters by using phrases like "Click on the AdSense ads" to improve click rates. The origin of all AdSense income is the AdWords program, which will has a complicated pricing model determined by a second price auction. AdSense commands a marketer to upload a sealed bid (i.e., an offer not observable by competitors). Furthermore, for almost any given click received, advertisers only pay one bid increment above the 2nd-highest bid.

AdSense for Feeds In 2005, Google declared a beta version of AdSense for Feeds, a edition of AdSense which runs on RSS and Atom feeds which have more than 100 active subscribers. Based on the Official Google Blog, advertisers have their ads placed in the best feed articles; publishers are given money for their original content, readers see relevant advertising and in the long run, more excellent feeds to select from. AdSense for Feeds works by inserting images in to a feed. Once the image is displayed by a RSS reader or Internet browser, Google writes the advertising content into the image that it returns. The advertisement content is chosen based on the content from the feed surrounding the image. When the user clicks the image, he or she is redirected to the advertiser's website in the same manner as regular AdSense advertisements. AdSense for Feeds remained in its beta state till lately when it became available to all AdSense users.

AdSense for search A companion for the regular AdSense plan, AdSense for lookup, allows website owners to place Google search containers on their web sites. Whenever a user searches the internet or even the website while using search box, Google shares any advertising revenue it makes from those searches with the business owner. Nevertheless the publisher pays only if the advertisements on the page are clicked, AdSense doesnt pay publishers for simple searches. AdSense for mobile content material AdSense for mobile content allows publishers to build earnings using their mobile websites using precise Google advertisements. Exactly like AdSense for content, Google matches advertisements for the content of a website, in cases like this, a mobile internet site. AdSense for domains Adsense for domains allows advertisements to be added to domains that have not been developed. This offers domain name owners a method to monetize domains that are otherwise inactive. Adsense for domains is currently being offered to some users, with plans in making this open to all gradually. On 2008, TechCrunch reported that AdSense for Domains can be obtained for all US publishers. AdSense for video AdSense for video allows publishers using video content to create revenue using ad positionings from Googles considerable Advertising community including popular Youtube videos.

Proxies - Servers for Proxies - Some Basic Information

A server generally belongs to a mix associated with software package and components units inside a pc providing you with different solutions to users. Servers usually are run using computers utilizing an os but just about any software and also hardware that has the capacity to provide services could also be known as a server. Whatever computerized procedure that can share software package between distinctive client processes is termed a server. Files might be shared with various clients running an os which manages as being a server. World-wide-web server job applications including the HTTP server from Apache can usually be operated with some type of computer that is capable. Computers are not typically regarded as servers but in running web server applications, they are defined as one. For the hardware perspective, a server describes computer systems that are used to run applications in a very network setting. Many computers share information in the networking environment with one being host to your others. Your own server is largely a computer consisting of features perhaps a fast CPU, an exceptional RAM and one of these large harddisks that develop performance inside of a network development natural environment.

Online may be a vast host of various servers and client products. A large number of simple and easy and complex severs are involved in the process of requesting a webpage from the internet. Different types of modems, routers and website servers mixed with other critical servers are going to complete providing online on computers. There's different os's which were designed with client-server protocol in mind. Such os's are capable of run background programs also known as services for example Apache HTTP server software that is definitely instructed to carry on a slumber mode till several weeks necessary to enable them to become functional. The whole construct you get with the internet is mainly using a client-server app. Any motion taken by on the web user requires varying servers to coomunicate back amongst each other in giving a system. Traffic on the web is directed by root dns name servers, DNS servers and routers which make up a bit portion within the millions of servers which are usually connected to the internet going everywhere. There's also some today's technology that run on an inter-server levels while some other services using the net that include some modalities of file sharing and brand new addition of telephony don't have the usage of dedicated servers. A bit of services provided by internet providers encompass; the World Wide Web, website name system, email, chat and instant messaging, database servers, streaming audio and video products and FTP file transfer along multiple others.

UNIX regarded first versions of any server working unit. Previously it was originally designed being an main system for minicomputers and became the preferred answer as servers ultimately replaced minicomputers. Various popular operating systems for servers for example , Solaris and Linux were fashioned with technology alike or was based on UNIX. All heavily used for proxy. Server running units get unique technological benefits that produce thoroughly worthy getting to of a main server. Versatile parts of server operating versions include; the opportunity to completely up-date hardware units and computer programs without conclusively being restarted, high level backup abilities that make it easy for frequent backup of on the net data, higher level networking level of expertise, high level security system and memory security, automation competence similar to windows companies and GUI which can be optional instead of easy to find. Server operating units have the capability to detect significant conditions which include processor and also disk malfunction and overheating. Server operating units react as the providers of different services on the internet of which involves distinct servers.

Proxy - Google Adwords

Though proxy sites do not usually use this program attain site traffic, I'm hoping below is worthwhile. AdWords is Googles main advertising product or service and most important method revenue. Google has developed a process that permits online network entrepreneurs and online marketers identical market programs on its google search and affiliate sites using specific text ads that url to a product or service website. When online users look for phrases that refer to a given products, distinctive solution websites which have subscribed for AdWords using these keyword sentences be visible on the search webpage as sponsored links. Such as, when making use of the Google search results to find a special label of item by typing the the item with the search box provided, several websites pop-up and dependant upon your quest specifications, there could possibly be a great amount of pages presented on the topic of your search.

Looking at the top in addition to right side side for the Google search results page, you can find answers for one's search utilizing precise search links under a predominant link tagged sponsored links. These kind of sponsored hyperlinks are merchandise of unique keywords that were paid for by marketers referring to their product or service. The ads will include a format this includes a title, two little lines that describe the services or products and a URL link to the internet site providing the service or product. Based on the amount of money you bid on your keyword, your ads will displayed on higher pages or more up the sponsored links range. Generally the more your bid for any specific grouping of keywords, professionals your ad should go. The AdWords advertising campaign is actually a pay per click system whereby you offer to spend a specific amount for a ad and only pay when somebody clicks on it. Bidding better for just a specific group of keywords which in turn link to your product or service website often just results in more web-site visitors coming to your website as most web users really do not scan past page one of a search internet site and click the greatest sponsored link upon that page. AdWords ordinarily assistance in filtering out internet users who are merely wanting for important information from serious customers who have the desire to order a product or acquire a service. A great many serious prospects will select a sponsored link at a search result page and go instantly to where they can learn a service or product they can pay money for. So so, you no longer to have lots and lots of visitors to your website daily to make money by using an AdWords promotion. In most cases easier to bid for any targeted keyword or maybe sets of keywords inside a sponsored link than to look for many visitors to your website who are just finding fun or surfing. Customers that select sponsored link continually manage this simply because demand a service or product and they're willing to pay for it.

Advertising working with pay per click is not as easy as precisely bidding the largest in a specific group of keywords. There are many factors that Google uses into mind when positioning preferences to get specific grouping with keywords. AdWords organization is really important as you need to proficiently research specific sets of keywords that'll be strongly related to your product or service, making sure many of these keywords are mainly designed for sought for to their grouping. You'll be able to arrange an AdWords account and subsequently get started an AdWords advertising your resources may be spent if the right AdWords management has not been completed since many people will simply click within your link and move out if your site is not related or has not supplies a good service or product for a price and that's deemed inexpensive in the grouping. Google offers preferences up to the more good ads that can be frequently clicked on. Before the highest bidder does not specifically receive the best subjection if his ads typically are not useful in enabling satisfactory clicks. Google gives several customization tools which help to optimize the AdWords campaign. You will choose many countries to you choose to want your ads being shown additionally, the language one wants your ads to become displayed in. Google offers a long list of about 250 countries well as over 14 languages options to select from. Google also uses software program that calculates the lowest amount you might want to offer with regards to your keywords to remain for greater your competitors. It's good to properly know the way the Google AdWords campaign works also, the different options you possibly can employ in providing that you employ this advertising campaign in the correct way to have good prospects and paying potential consumers. Google is in operation when making money and they reward the most applicable ads with pointed keywords with being exposed.

Proxy - Exactly What Is a Proxy?

Oddly enough have never covered off on this one - there are two types, hardware (a server) or software (an application). The later is what we are talking about here. Basically the application serves as a middleman between the use and the web site the user wishes to access. The users connects to the application and the application connects to the site/webpage the user wishes to access. And the purpose of this? Security, i.e. to keep the user anonymous and to get around software that denies access to those given websites. Who uses? Those at schools/colleges, at work, at home. Who tries to block the sites? Countries, schools, employers, parents. There are several types of proxies, but the type we are promoting here are web proxies.

- Proxies Not Accepted On This Proxy List
Proxies must work and be safe. This eliminates those on free hosting or do not have their own domain - i.e. top level. Examples are .tk and .co.cc Questions that are raised 1) who really controls the site (do they care about security) 2) is it set up currectly 3) who is accessing the logs 4) will it suddenly disappear and more concerns.

- Maximizing Earnings - Home Page Templates
Its important to try multiple home page set ups with your ads - placing and ad type can make a big difference to your earning with say adsense. Perhaps one 300X250 works best at the top of the page, or is it 1 X 728X90, or 2 X 300X250? You dont know until you test. This is often called A/B split testing. Note if you were buying traffic, using e.g. Googles conversion optimizer is the other side of the coin. Save your original template then run with the new for a few days - then compare. Then try another. There is a lot of information on the web about "hot spots" and ideal setups. Read but only testing and comparing will gain you the CTR (click through rate) and maximum income.

Youtube.com is difficult with proxy - they often change their code so that means the say glype plugin needs to change each time. Also the whole video often has to be downloaded first before it starts (normally it starts straight away) and tends to be slow as has to go through the encryption process. Summary sometimes will not run at all but when it does - can be slow, so be patient. At the moment only about 5% of the most popular proxies have working youtube.com plugins.

Proxy - Glype Software

In these note I have mentioned glype quite a bit as easy to use, install etc. Unfortunately it looks like the most recent purchaser has stopped developing it entirely. Its still the "best" but things like plugins for youtube.com have stopped coming out. What is a software long term path for development and updates? I dont see one at the moment but watch this space.

Proxy - Spam.

To stop your proxy site or list being subject to spam, captcha can be used. Basically captcha is a method of testing that there is a real person at your site not a program trying to say mass submit sites to your proxy list. A simple test is used such as answering a question or rekey words shown in a field. Those words are usually distorted. In summary captcha is used to tell humans and machines apart thereby stopping your sites being spammed.

Proxy - Sites And Your Rights.

Something to remember when you use proxies they are helping to ensure the US Bill of Rights and UN Human Rights declaration becomes a reality - specifically, Amendments 4 and 5 of The United States Bill Of Rights protect the right to be free of unwarranted and unwanted government intrusion into one's personal and private affairs, papers, and possessions. Article 12 of The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks." Something to think about.

Proxy - Keep your Site Up-to-date and Working.

Something to bear in mind with proxy - things change. What I mean by that is outside factors are always changing such as the code that run your users favourite sites. Classic examples are Facebook and Youtube. When they change their code (which they do often), your users are often unable to use them via your proxy. That means they will go elsewhere. Therefore you must diary to regularly check that the major sites are working i.e. youtube, facebook, myspace, google, twitter etc. It also pays to give your users some way of contacting you to tell you of the problems. Provide an email address (in non spamable format like privacy1000(.)com). How do you fix the problems as they arrise? Look into the forums like glype.com, fixes are often posted there or pay to get them fixed via say freelancer.com

Proxy - ADDON Domains and their Uses.

It is possible to set up ADDON Domains via your cPanel. It means that you have the option of having an initial Account with all the standard site files, but then set up sites that look to the original account for those files - and will also share the same IP. Note that in the WHM you use the Modify Account option to set - Max Addon Domains:. ADDONS can be set up very quickly for your proxy sites. An example - site xxyyy.com is set up as an account. Site cccbbb.com can be set up as an ADDON on that account - both sites will share the same files and be identical in all but site name. A couple of downsides - a) is IP is blocked, main account and ADDONs are all blocked and b) you cant use Adsense on them as against Adsense TOS to have identical sites. Even with those downsides, a very useful option to have.

Proxy - Passwords, How Important Are They?

The basics - if you use and keep a simple password, given time, someone will hack into your server, control panel, cPanel (or WHM) or FTP files. I personally left the Glype Control Panel for my proxy with the default password - some Iranian outfit hacked in and replaced my front page with goverment propaganda. Every day my server is attacked with BruteForce attacks. What that is is an attacker sends thousands of common passwords to your server to try to break in. By the way WHM has a cPHulk Brute Force Protection option - use it! So, passwords are VERY important. How can you generate good ones? Firstly your Root password - Change Root Password option - use the password generator. All others - also use that password generator or the one in Password Modification to generate passwords. It is also wise to change your passwords at least monthly. I realise this means you will no longer have the convenience of being able to remember your passwords - but its worth it!

Proxy - Buy Proxies or Set Proxy Site or Proxy List up Myself?

There are several factors here - coding skill level, newness to proxies, type of proxy. If you have some coding skills I would go with a new one UNLESS the proxy you buy a highly developed one i.e. protected from blocking at a highly sophisticated level and a high level of traffic which is self generating. The skill level needs to be good to keep up that protection level in a changing environment. If new to proxies and not skilled I would buy one just to start with. The only change you will have to make is to change your advertiser codes. Usually a seller will transfer the site to the server. With one site you can learn and experiment without the frustrations of setting up. Buying is about confidence so I would suggest buying via http://forums.digitalpoint.com What do you need to know 1) site statistics, number of visitors and country of origin (e.g. generally US traffic is more valued than say Chinese) 2) earnings - from where (e.g.) adsense 3) age of site (the older unless very sophisticated is more likely to be blocked) note you can check several of these in alexa.com 4) why are they selling 5) will they install 6) what resource does it use (i.e. will your server cope)7) how is the traffic generated. If you dont know the traffic might disappear as soon as you have bought it. 8)super important - has the seller got a good and high feedback score. 9) as a rule of thumb you should be paying 3 to 5 months of income.

Proxy - Where to get help with your Proxy Site Software?

Sometimes you will have problems with your proxy whether at installation, upgrading or just something that has arrisen. First place to look would be with the source of your template - e.g. glype at the glype.com forum. Next would be to do a google for proxy forum - there are lots out there that are specifically for proxy and often on free proxy list or have large proxy related areas. One such would be http://forums.digitalpoint.com If help is not coming from there, you can getting help from a freelancer via say freelancer.com . Their freelancers are carefully rated and you can quickly see who are the skilful ones. Experts for hire can also be found on the forum mentioned.

Proxy - Do Web Proxy Still Make Money

Proxies are a business. Like any business you must keep a careful track on your costs - advertising, server etc and your income. If expenses exceed income on your proxy you must either reduce your expenses or increase your income. The former is usually easier to do - e.g. do more manual advertising instead of paid, look for a cheaper server - perhaps vps again for awhile until income comes up. The other options are just to keep the proxy for yourself and friends or give up! My experience is that you only start to make adequate money when you have ecomomies of scale - i.e. lots of traffic. With each incremental amount of traffic there is less and less expense associated against it - e.g. until it is full you only need one server - it costs the same whether its at 10% capacity or 90%. To anwser the direct question - yes they can - just treat them like a business, measure, experiment and learn.

Proxy - Site Data Analysis

Once you start to get traffic it is very important to gain accurate information as to where your traffic is coming from, how it got there and how much what traffic is earning. Only with those details on your proxies will you be able to best target your advertising spend, your time and effort. For example you may find certain countries do not earn enough to cover your costs. Conversely some countries earn very well so that is where you need to spend your time and effort. I would recommend using Google Analytics. Its free, easy to set up and above all connects in with Google adsense i.e. it reports on earnings as well as traffic. You simply add a bit of code to your proxy (either the same on all or different code per proxy site. The reporting ranges from high level of say total traffic, by country, source down to very low level. Highly recommended.

Proxy - Bandwidth Issues

Dependent on your server package you will have anything from a very limited amount of bandwith available for your proxy to unlimited. There are several methods of controlling bandwith usage 1) stopping hotlinking 2) reducing the size of downloads and 3) restricting the countries that can access your sites. 1) hotlinking is where a user links say a .jpg via your site to multiple users of theirs - i.e. users your bandwith for no gain of yours. Hotlinking can be prevented via the cPanel or (assuming Glype) using the Prevent Hotlinking option in the Glype control panel. 2) downloads can be reduced in the Glype Control Panel in the Transfer Options area - File Size Limit. I have heard of this being set anything from 2mb to 20mb - I have it set be 10mb. 1) and 2) are wise to set no matter how much spare bandwidth you have. 3) The idea behind restricting certain countries is simply bang for bucks - if you have a limited amount of bandwidth you should be aiming at the traffic that gives you the greatest amount of return. You also dont want your site being restricted for going over your bandwidth limits for your proxy site and missing out on high paying traffic. If short of bandwidth you could well start by banning Iran and China. There are various sources of IP lists you can use, e.g. www.maxmind.com is the best and they have a free version. You can have sitting on your server, have the ip's listed in your .htaccess file or in your Glype Control Panel in the User Access Control - IP bans.

Proxy - What Sort of Domain to use for Your Proxy Site or Proxy List .info or .com ?

The obvious difference between a .info and .com domain is cost - from the likes of godaddy.com .info is about $1 and .com about $10 US. Other differences - as .com has been around for a while there are fewer names available but conversely .coms are concidered more authorative i.e. more likely to be taken seriously. There is also some evidence that some countries block all .infos. For a proxy) my belief is that the name and its suffix are not important - the important this is - does the proxy work As an experiment I created several .com and .info and advertised them exactly the same and released them at the same time. After watching the results of these proxies for a week (the only way that matters - earnings per domain) I noticed no difference at all. So this persons recommendation, save your money and buy .info .

Proxy - Learnings Number 6 - Your Own Proxy Site - Stopping Your Proxy Site Being Blocked

As soon as a proxy site exists there will be people trying to block it. It can be just at a school level, corporate level, or a whole country (such as Iran). Various methods are used by those that wish to block proxies such as subscribing to a proxy stop list, searching for key words such as Proxy or glype or looking at the actual software used. You will never completely stop your proxy being blocked but some suggestions 1) proxy name - make sure does not include the word proxy 2) search your software for the word proxy, remove where possible 3) ensure your blurb,template,script does not include the word proxy or even anonomous or phrases like private surfing (your visitors know what your site is about!) 4) check meta words and meta desciptions, they can be removed completely. 5) More subtly do not set up your proxy site long before you advertise them. Companies who offer anti proxy services routinely check new domains for their software - if proxy software, you are blocked before you start. 6) for the more expert of you, set up a site but dont add your software. Watch your access logs and block the IPs that come to it. I.e. come to a brand new completely blank site! You may like to check the IPs in say WHOIS first. There are more subtle methods, but these WILL help improve thr profitability and life of your proxy .

Proxy - Learnings Number 5 - Your Own Proxy Site - Gain Traffic - Paid traffic

There is only one really important rule with paid traffic for your proxy and that is you must earn more from it than you pay. That may seem obvious but unfortunately easily forgotten. So if you buy some proxy traffic via a mailblast, check the earnings after a maximum of three days - and compare that with what you spent. If it worked, do it again, but probably with a new domain. Why? Because as soon as you issue a new site it will start being blocked so you get the best value out of it in its first few days of life. You can also buy traffic based on your site being displayed for a specific length of time - usually available via a proxy list. Usual period is a month. The more prominently your proxy is displayed the more traffic you get but the more you pay. The same rules apply, test and then decide whether worthwhile. I know of one proxy list site that is only for one day http://www.topbits.com . Conversely you only pay one dollar per advert. In that case the payback for your proxy ad would have to be within 2 days. You will see proxy traffic being advertised in Proxy Forums of which there are several. Another method of paid advertising is paid for links or banners on say a proxy list site. Ideally free proxy traffic is always best but sometimes to generate real volume, economies of scale and users who come back, you have to buy proxy traffic.

Proxy - Learnings Number 4 - Your Own Proxy Site - Gain Traffic - Free traffic

Proxy sites are unusual as they do not want to gain their traffic via traditional SEO methods. Why not? Because the higher the profile of a site on Google, the higher the chance of that site getting blocked. The exception to this in the proxy world is free proxy list. These need to be found by traditional search THEN users go to actual proxy sites. So, there are two types of traffic, free and unpaid. Free first - search for the words proxy list. Free Proxy list literally list proxies, giving useful information like uptime, speed and activity. One such is proxyriver.com . You can list your proxy giving a link to your site. This way you get traffic, they get traffic and earnings for both. It can however be a frustrating business as many proxy list are hobby sites and not administrated often. One test is to checl Alexa.com to see if linking is even worthwhile (i.e. the proxy list has a decent amount of traffic.) Next are Forums. Once again do a google search and you will find Forums such as forums.digitalpoint.com where you can post your proxy for free. Other favourite sources are Yahoo and Google Groups, Facebook and Twitter. With yahoo and Google groups there are a number of groups that allow all proxy owners to add their proxy for free. One example is http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/free_proxys_list and no, its not mine.

Proxy - Learnings Number 3 - Your Own Proxy - Monetize (Earn money)

Now you have a proxy server and proxy software for your proxy site. Now you need to decide what ad networks will work for you best on your proxy site. First there are some ad networks that will only allow their ads shown on the front page of your site. The logic of this is they can check the content of your front page and therefore know what content will show beside their ads. With the proxified page (the search page) they cant control or know the content as each search is different so they do not allow their ads to be shown there. OK, front page - the normal and recommended is Google Adsense as it pays on time everytime and has relatively high CPM (cents per thousands)although technically they pay based on clicks. They have several different format of ads including 728X90 banners, Search (where your users search and you get paid per ads clicked)and very skinny text ads. The banners can be image, text and image and just text. Generally image is considered more profitable. You MUST read the Adsense Terms of Service as they are very strict implemeting them. For your proxified page there are a range of choices in banner ads and pop unders. Many offer both such as Adbrite, Mediashakers and Xtend. Some like Adversal offer popunders only. Try them and see which works best for you. Be careful with too many popunders as they can put users off and reduce your return visitors. There are many others but these are a good start and are highly likely to pay you!

Proxy - Learnings Number 2 - Your Own Proxy Site - Software

Next thing you will need to do to get your proxy site up and running is some proxy software. There are many types, e.g. Glype, Phproxy, Zelune, CGI Proxy. If you have a look at this proxy list you will see the majority are Glype. At time of writing 170,000 copies have been downloaded. I would suggest you start there especially if you cant modify code proficiently. Other advantages are there are many free templates (just use google), has a good discussions forum (help with installation etc) an excellent control panel, and an update path. Its very easy to globally add say adsense code (in just one place) and comes with standard Terms of use, privacy policy etc. 28th January 2010
Facebook.com - I have had quite a bit of feedback around problems using Facebook with proxy from this proxy list. I.e. users can get into Facebook but some of the features do not work. After some research can recommend using either the mobile version - address m.facebook.com - or the lite version of Facebook - lite.facebook.com -. Have had especially good feedback about the lite version.

27th January 2010
Chinese traffic - similar to Iranian traffic for your proxy sites or proxy list but a) you tend to earn more on them via adsense b) you dont tend to get the huge spikes you get with Iranian traffic. China is potentially the biggest market for proxies and free proxy list given their huge population and relatively high internet population. Note recent problems with internet censorship and google. The method the chinese use are often called the "Great Firewall of China" So if you have the spare capacity, possibly worth a try.

26th January 2010
From the site Admin - A word about Iranian Traffic. Many ban the traffic because it is low earning - that is true for the likes of mediashakers but you can earn reasonably well via adsense. There are several problems with it that I see - if there is say a political problem in Iran your traffic can go up very suddenly ten fold - can your server cope? Are you bandwidth capped? There is also the chance of getting your site hacked (as happened to me) putting you out of action. On balance, if you have a dedicated server with spare capacity uncapped bandwidth and strong passwords, why not try it. If you dont, you are likely to loose money and put the rest of your business at risk.

Proxy - Learnings Number 1 - Your Own Proxy - Server

25th January 2010
If you want to set up a proxy site, the first thing you will need is a server. Your proxy will sit on the server and your users will pick up the proxy from that server. There are two basic types 1) VPS (virtual private server) and 2) dedicated (only you are on the server). VPS is where most people tend to start as its cheap and server admin is pretty well non existent. When you gain experience and more sites/traffic the usual thing is to move to a dedicated server. The downside of a VPS is you are sharing with many other proxy owners - so if one gets really busy, your site gets really slow. Bevery careful with checking for - does this provider allow proxies (some do not) what bandwidth are you allowed and what sort of reputation do they enjoy. Check on the webmaster forums.
