The life of a web based proxy

The typical life span of common web proxy is very short.

The problem is that the filtering companies such as websense and lightspeed get paid to basically block them. This is a really big problem for both users of these services and the owners of the services. For the users it means the task of finding new proxies is endless. For webmasters, it is also a endless task of trying to push out new proxies and trying to let the users know how to find it.

When the average proxy webmaster factors this into their business plan they tend to pack the web based proxy out with alot of ads, including but not limited to popup ads, inpage popups and banners on the proxifed pages. When they notice the earnings are not what they had originally hoped for they tend to either sell their proxy, and the new owner places even more ads onto it. Or else they just shut it down.

This is a problem because the few users that might have found that proxy useful now have to try and locate another one.

One solution we have created is the following image which you can view on your mobile phone using GSM dail up or GPRS, 3g or even HSDA. The image can be found here proxy list image. Using this image you can get the newest proxies with out having to worry about where from, this image will remain unblocked as long as you view it from your mobile phone!

The image is typically very small, on average around 4kb. This means that even if you have to pay for your mobile data transfer it should cost you next to nothing (Think one digit cents)
