Proxies.


Well proxies are a major thing on the internet.
I'm personally just starting out and want to try earn afew bucks per day.
Namepros doesn't really have any threads i've found that help out proxy owners/ newbies.
I myself am a newbie aswell. I'm still learning alot but have picked up afew ideas and such to keep it alive.

#1 Putting your words like Proxy/Bypass/Filter into a image so that it cannot be picked up if any schools have programs that read pages. (my school has this feature)

I haven't got really anymore to add but i hope members can contribute.

Make sure people can't link to things directly through the proxy - redirect users to the homepage first, or a hotlinking error page, or something.

That will save you loads of bandwidth

I'm a newbie at proxies too. I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

I have a piece of advice. If you want to send messages with your proxy inside make sure you're careful of who you send it to, because some people might be the ones who filter out proxies.

Add a hotlink protection, offload to multiple VPS instead of a single dedicated server will help. Images instead of text helps prevent any filters. NEVER have the word proxy, unblock, filter in it.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--

// This code was written by Tyler Akins and has been placed in the
// public domain.  It would be nice if you left this header intact.
// Base64 code from Tyler Akins -- http://rumkin.com

var keyStr = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=";

function encode64(input) {
   var output = "";
   var chr1, chr2, chr3;
   var enc1, enc2, enc3, enc4;
   var i = 0;

   do {
      chr1 = input.charCodeAt(i++);
      chr2 = input.charCodeAt(i++);
      chr3 = input.charCodeAt(i++);

      enc1 = chr1 >> 2;
      enc2 = ((chr1 & 3) << 4) | (chr2 >> 4);
      enc3 = ((chr2 & 15) << 2) | (chr3 >> 6);
      enc4 = chr3 & 63;

      if (isNaN(chr2)) {
         enc3 = enc4 = 64;
      } else if (isNaN(chr3)) {
         enc4 = 64;
      }

      output = output + keyStr.charAt(enc1) + keyStr.charAt(enc2) + 
         keyStr.charAt(enc3) + keyStr.charAt(enc4);
   } while (i < input.length);
   
   return output;
}

function decode64(input) {
   var output = "";
   var chr1, chr2, chr3;
   var enc1, enc2, enc3, enc4;
   var i = 0;

   // remove all characters that are not A-Z, a-z, 0-9, +, /, or =
   input = input.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9\+\/\=]/g, "");

   do {
      enc1 = keyStr.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));
      enc2 = keyStr.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));
      enc3 = keyStr.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));
      enc4 = keyStr.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));

      chr1 = (enc1 << 2) | (enc2 >> 4);
      chr2 = ((enc2 & 15) << 4) | (enc3 >> 2);
      chr3 = ((enc3 & 3) << 6) | enc4;

      output = output + String.fromCharCode(chr1);

      if (enc3 != 64) {
         output = output + String.fromCharCode(chr2);
      }
      if (enc4 != 64) {
         output = output + String.fromCharCode(chr3);
      }
   } while (i < input.length);

   return output;
}

//--></script>
You can have previously encoded text and just decode it with javascript and use document.writeIn( decode64( 'encoded text' ) ); or document.getElementById( 'ELEMENT' ).innerHTML = decode64( 'encoded text' );
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=352827

Either way filters won't pick it up, nor will it be blocked.

One of my proxies (cakebite) uses AJAX to load the stuff with "proxy" in it afterwards, but it makes no difference I"ll do the base64 thing sooner or later

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=352827
I chose base64 because PHP has it, another 2 javascript functions you can use are
Code:
// From http://scriptasylum.com/tutorials/encdec/encode-decode.html
var encN=1;

// DECODES AND UNESCAPES ALL TEXT.
function decodeTxt(s){
var s1=unescape(s.substr(0,s.length-1));
var t='';
for(i=0;i<s1.length;i++)t+=String.fromCharCode(s1.charCodeAt(i)-s.substr(s.length-1,1));
return unescape(t);
}

// ENCODES, IN UNICODE FORMAT, ALL TEXT AND THEN ESCAPES THE OUTPUT
function encodeTxt(s){
s=escape(s);
var ta=new Array();
for(i=0;i<s.length;i++)ta[i]=s.charCodeAt(i)+encN;
return ""+escape(eval("String.fromCharCode("+ta+")"))+encN;
}
I have no idea how an encoder can be made in PHP though

Keep proxy names short, meaning ful and tech related. Eg mine is surf7.info

Hope it helped

Someone ought to compile all of it into one page.. And I just might take the responsibility

1. i would like to know some high paying keywords in this field
2. i know this is not related, but how to prevent DDOS attacks? i am getting one on my VPS and am deeply troubled by it


my tip: rather than spending hundreds of hours making a single proxy, make hundreds of proxies (i have a network of about 60 proxies, all made in about two days )

Also ALWAYS log people browsing.

What I mean is set up a simple script so that it logs each address that's visited and the IP of the person visiting it.

I also learned this the hard way... =/ *Eeek* Sleepless nights...

I think that is called a log file and its kept automatically by your web server.

Alzheimer's
I know what it's called but it's not made default always.

And they don't log your IP and the website you've visited through the proxy.

get a lot - advertise a lot, put it on as many topsites as you can (proxy.org etc)

get the word out on your proxy and it should generate quite a bit

This proxy thread seems to be at its infancy (compared to another forum I lurk on) which is great because we can shape is at we want. So how do you start a proxy and what are the essential steps to make some money? (familiar things to proxy admins but useful stuff for newbies)

1) Register a domain
  • .info domains are cheap and will do just fine to start you off. Chose a memorable name, one that users will easily remember to type in directly in their browser without having to search for a link.
  • .com domains are more expensive but have the advantage that can get more traffic since they are easier to "access" (domain_name the Ctrl-Enter and you are there). They are usually used to build traffic and PR and you can eventually sell links on them for extra cash

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=352827
2) Register for an adsense account.
If you don't have this then it will be much more difficult to monetize your proxy. The easiest way to get an account (if you don't already have one) is to start a blogspot blog and then apply for adsense using that as your main site. Then you can take the pub id and use it on your proxies. If you are banned from adsense there are a bunch of CPC alternatives, however they won't bring in as much

3) Get some hosting.
This is a very important step. If you chose the wrong web host then you'll end up with a lot of frustration, not to mention loss of revenue (due to probable downtime). There are not many web hosts that offer proxy hosting due to the proxy business particularities (read this post I wrote for the reasons) but if you are just starting out with proxies then shared hosting is the best solution. You can get quality proxy hosting for not much (starting at $5 a month) from a few hosts. Shop around and ask for offers to match your needs. I suggest avoiding offers of the nature "$10 a year" etc. It's practically impossible for the host to make up for his costs and will probably dump you half way through the year

4) Get your proxy script
  • I suggest any PHP based script i.e. phproxy, zelune, surrogafier, glype. The CGI script eats up lots of resources and many hosts won't accept it.
  • Phproxy is the most popular and the easiest to find a nice, free template to use
  • Zelune and glype are the latest scripts on the market. Supposedly requiring less bandwidth and resources. I have not confirmed this.
  • Surrogafier is a 1-file, very robust script but very difficult to customize.

5) Upload your script and add your adsense codes

6) Enable hotlink prevention and block unwanted countries
  • Hotlink prevention means preventing users from going directly to their preferred website without visiting your home page. You don't want that because you lose adsense revenue. There is a piece of code for phproxy which is freely available to use (let me know if you can't find it and I'll provide it)
  • Some people disagree with blocking certain countries from accessing your proxy. Personally I block China because chinese traffic has been abusive. A small number of users have been using 80% of my bandwidth. You can easily block countries by following instructions here: http://blockacountry.com
7) Advertise
This is a big chapter in proxies. My suggested methods are:
  • buying newsletter links: this can get you access to thousands of proxy-hungry users. Can get you 1000-2000 visits the first day. If you need more help on this I can suggest providers.
  • submitting your proxies to google/yahoo proxy groups. Some people who tried this have seen miraculous results. I haven't, but you can always try it. I can provide some groups to try.
  • submitting to proxy toplists: besides proxy.org and a few others, most toplists won't bring you much traffic. Instead they might get your proxy blocked faster.
8)Expanding revenue streams
Once you've gained enough traffic (and maybe PR) you can increase your revenue by:
  • Selling ad space on your proxy either through ad brokers or through private sales on forums like this one
  • Adding advertising on proxied pages: you can use canepmedia for banners (CPM), or bidvertiser and the like for CPC (Adsense not allowed on proxied pages - do not attempt to try). I can provide help on getting advertising on proxied pages

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=352827
I hope this helps you with some of the things you are struggling with right now.
If you need any help or more info on the above let me know and I'll do whatever I can to help

Zelune is not bad but there are not many free templates around to chose from. It's installation is a bit more difficult than other scripts (e.g phproxy, surrogafier) since it requires php5, curl, and has quite a few files to upload.

On a different subject, I have a list of about 100 topsites that I collected form here and there. If anyone would like to have the list send me a PM.

Proxy Traffic


I recently aquired www.FunkyProxy.com and I am finding that most of the traffic is Chinese. Adsense seems to convert some of the traffic, but until there is a good way to monetize the chinese traffic, I am stuck getting huge traffic and a relatively small conversion.

i just block all chinese traffic because of the fact that most of them do not know English and my adsense account is too precious for me to get banned like that just for a few cents of earnings

A proxy is a website which people use to bypass software that block their internet access. Imagine yourself at college trying to browse Myspace, facebook etc. Most likely they will be blocked. So you can visit a proxy site and visit these websites through this proxy. A beginner's guide to the proxy business can be found on Kiloserve Proxy Hosting Blog
