The world of business in the proxy world is a non stop war between proxy owners, and proxy filtering software companies. If your unsure of who these companies are then let me list just a few:
LightspeedSystems
Websense
BlueCoat
There are many more as well. in fact the list is almost endless.
What War?
If you have no idea about what war between proxy owners and filtering companies i am on about, Then this probably doesn’t affect you in the slightest and it will either bore you rigid. Or make little to no sense.
The way it works is like this. Proxy owners such as myself along with hundreds of others across the world. Create proxies for users to get access to their favourite sites. Or to help users in news censored countries get news about the world as well as put their news out into the world.
Web Proxies are also used by teenagers at school who want to check their comments and other Myspace related stuff. This also includes office workers who want access to sites that are restricted at their work place.
The filtering companies have software installed across many schools across the world. All these schools and office blocks signed up for the service. So where does that leave proxy owners? Well we have to use whatever we can to make the sites we create undetectable. Or at the very least harder to detect by the automatic spiders that crawl web pages constantly retrieving links and either banning access to them from anywhere that has their software installed. Or leaving them be.
So every time we make a move to enhance our users experience and stop our sites from getting blocked. They make a move to find our improvements and block them too.
So whats the future of proxies? Invitation only? Paid usage only? Or is the answer as simple as changing our techniques constantly to keep them guessing at what exactly we are doing.
Personally i say change the techniques and keep them guessing. Why? Because thats what these companies get paid for.
And as a side note. Lightspeed banned this site too. No idea why. Maybe they just don’t like me.
