Myspace Proxies To Bypass Internet Filters

Most of the commerical internet content filters will try to send a bot to scan a new or unknown website it has encountered for the first time. If there are any words like “proxy”, “anonymous” etc on the domain name, such as www.proxy.com it is likely to be blocked right away and categorized instantly as proxy avoidance. If the filter bot is unsure which category your website falls into, it may temporary allow students to continue having access to it while adding your school proxy websites to a queue for a more involved scan check. For example, they may start examining the contents on the various pages under your website, check the IP or nameservers, check incoming and outgoing backlinks etc. The content filter companies such as websense knows and have a comprehensive database on possible content, IP, hosting companies and millions of proxy websites, topsites, link exchanges etc in their records.

Unless you disguise your myspace proxies completely and do not use any conventional form of proxy promotion, you cannot evade their detection for long. It is also a matter of time before they catch up with your disguise and learn how to detect these cloaking methods. When that happens, your previous stealthy proxies will be automatically detected and labeled as proxy avoidance. You need to continuously think of radically new approaches to win this game and provide unblocked internet access for the school students. Theoretically, if you can block the filtering companies from accessing your proxy websites, you can stop them from scanning your webproxy sites and blocking them from the schools. It is not easy to find out the complete range of web server IP used by the filtering companies. Do not even bother trying to query the whois database for identifying the companies owning a particular IP since they can buy whois privacy protection easily. Doing a reverse IP lookup is pretty hazy at best also. If you have heard about the User Agent http header field, do not think the filtering company bots are going to play nice and identifying themseves as “Websense Proxy Eating Bot V5.21″ or something. They are all going to masquerade as your normal commonplace internet explorer or firefox browsers. They are also not going to obey your robots.txt for proxy websites and will dig through your entire website for evidence that you are a useless and dangerous resource for school and office. What I wanted to say is that, I do not know exactly what techniques these claimed proxy cloaking software are using. If they really work, they must be on to something really good. Otherwise, it is all marketing gibberish trying to sell something that does not work at all. By the way, I do not like buying software from small companies, especially other internet marketers. I believe all are half-baked crap that either work partially or stop working after a while. They tend to have poor support and have incomplete testing procedures. Yes, I only use freeware or buy from Microsoft, Adobe and other bigger ones around. Dream on if you think they are going to come up with something for you proxy owners.

Some college students have tried running personal web proxies because every other students in their college have to resort to using school proxies as the college network firewall bans a lot of popular social websites such as facebook, myspace, youtube etc. When you have a lot of classmates and friends asking you how do you unblock a website off a school computer, you get a lot of respect when you can offer them an exclusive access private proxy. They claim to use the same domain name for their college’s offical website and that allows them to avoid getting banned by the network filters. For example, if the official url address is googlecollege.edu, the students go and register a domain name such as googlecollege.us or googlecollege.org etc and setup a myspace proxy at that url. Do using the same name but different tld really work? I think those colleges are not really actively clamming down on proxy websites for school, that is the main reason why the fake college site is not blocked and still running. Anyway, there can be some serious repercussions squatting on a college’s official name like that. Maybe their own students will get off with some slight punishments, but for business people like you and me, not worth the trouble in my opinion.

If you are only targeting school proxy bypass users and not other types of proxy visitors such as anonymous “hide my ip” type of people, you really need to get on the big social networks, such as myspace, facebook, bebo, orkut etc. Just a side note, you really should separate your proxy promotion efforts for different types of proxy users. I mean, setup a webproxy just for students and another one people concerned with general internet anonymity. Promote them in different avenues. For example, do not let your school proxies be exposed freely on proxy topsites, proxy newsletters, yahoo groups, google groups and proxy listings etc. These places are frequently scanned by web content filters and all proxy urls found at these places will be blocked immediately and students behind these firewall filters will not be able to use them for bypassing websites. Yes, you may ache about the loss of potential traffic by not promoting them full out, but the long term benefits are really better. By the way, since proxies eventually get found out and become not working for the school students, you will experience a severe drop in traffic by the time it happens. When you see this happening, go ahead and promote the hell out of these blocked proxies at your favorite proxy listings, topsites, proxy newsletters, yahoo and google groups etc. You have no fear for internet censoring bots anymore, since you are already on their blacklist. However, anonymous web surfers are not subject to such content filters and hence you can still get traffic by targeting them now. In short, get the school proxy users in your first wave, then target the anonymous proxy users when things quiet down. Each proxy you set up costs money, time and effort on your part, so you want to extract the greatest returns from them. If you promote your new proxy at all the usual places straight away, yes you get some nice web earnings straight from day one. But by day three, the money and traffic is rather pathetic because your school proxy users are all blocked and denied access to your servers. In case I forgot to mention, the money per 1000 school bypass visitors is much more compared to those coming from anonymous users. You are really cutting yourself short if you cannot be patient and target the users in staggered stages. It can get really tiring trying the daily school proxies technique, so the longer you keep your school proxy websites unblocked, the easier time you get. Do not think that your web visitors like you so much that they are willing to find out how to unblock proxy such that they can continue to use your free myspace proxies.
