Hi,
Good debate here!
Hey ppl you can use atomic power both for healing and killing.
So use it as you like…but you can’t blame the the power within the atom for that……..

why using internet if you can’t distinguish good from bad…..there are tons of bad stuff in internet….also tons of good stuff…..I like the good side of proxy.

thanks

For promoting proxies you can always submit your proxies to proxy list sites.

We know how to advertise a proxy but didn’t shed enough light on how to monetize a proxy. Why not Adsense on the proxified page?

German Police Seize 10 Proxy Servers. Of course that article and notes that they will "expect the servers to be returned shortly."

I am wondering are you checkin the guidelines of the proxy host. If yes tell me which one. Second if you put on your site that you are not to held responsible and you explain everything on your site then I don’t think there should be any issues.

I am not even talking about responsiblity, but EFFORT… for a buck a day you aren’t paying for much time to deal with hassles.

Also, if it operates on the same IP use you for surfing, or other business then you may find your activities being blocked by firewalls and spam blocks as a result of your proxy users behaviors.

I am just suggesting that if you tell people how setup a proxy and how to make money you cover negative aspects as well.

Now, if that Sporting Goods store has a section for viewing child porno what happens? If you make a website to facilitate viewing child porno what happens? If the police trace child porn viewers back to your IP you’ll probably have a lot of hassle, even if you are not responsible.

I looked at the terms and conditions of one hosting company and they say:
You agree and warrant that you will neither store on nor allow to be transmitted by XXX’s Equipment any data or other matter which constitutes, contains, or links to child pornography or which involves depictions of sexuality by someone who is or looks younger than eighteen years of age, regardless of their actual age, or by a performer who is portrayed or made to appear as a person under the age of eighteen years of age, or which could otherwise result from or cause harm to minors.

So, everything else aside, a user of their service agrees not to transmit such data through their service. Operating a proxy server on their equipment may well transmit such data through their equipment, as you have no control over what data is transmitted.

And plenty more about copyrighted data, access by minors, etc.

Just by the hosting contract alone, you have agreeded that “DATA” is not just “DATA”, but that you are responsible for controlling the flow of some “DATA” through their network!

A nice series of posts Syed that covers proxies pretty well and I learned a few things.

Maybe one more question would be – What is the potential income from a proxie?

If only a couple bucks a day from adsense – well a person would need a hundred of them to make anything worthwhile.

I have this perception that at a few cents a click trying to make money off adsense is futile – That might be a good topic for a later post. Maybe you can prove me wrong and it is possible to make significant income from adsense.
