Glype Script Re-download If Necessary

Josh — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:08:02 +0000

If you downloaded the Glype Proxy Script yesterday (27th July 2009) then you may wish to re-download it. The new owner Jason had a slight problem when he “accidentally” uploaded the wrong proxy script to their download server. He duly apologised on the Glype forum saying that the “version for my personal proxys”.

According to DiscussProxy forum, the version uploaded changed your Adsense Publisher ID to another, presumably Jasons. To read more about this theory visit this thread.

To conclude, if you recently downloaded a version of Glype, re-download it to be on the safe side.

China Blocked Twitter and Loads More

Josh — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 19:46:21 +0000

Apparently as of today Chinese authorities have blocked lots of major sites on the web. Here is a list that I have seen so far.

Twitter
Flickr
Bing
Live.com
Hotmail.com
Wordpress
YouTube
Blogger

Why? Well it is believe to be to have been done to quite down the effects of online chat and social bookmarking of the 20th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre. Has it worked? Probably not, because it gets people (like me) blogging about it.
So if your in China, and want access to some of these sites be sure to check out our proxy directory and choose a country like US and use a proxy.

Thanks to Mashable for this information.

That’s obvious I hear you say! Well yes, it is. However how can we use this information to help us proxy owners? Well a few ways.

Firstly make your proxy compatible with these sites. Make sure your members can log into MySpace, FaceBook and Youtube. and if you cant do that target and different area. Try and attract a different audience where they don’t have to log in.

Hopefully this will help you get more returning visitors and therefore more cash!

Start Panicking! – Another Reason To Use a Proxy

Josh — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:53:51 +0000

www.StartPanic.com emphasises a scary truth about our privacy and gives us another reason to use our trusty proxies! Well, basically this site is able to see every single site we have been to on our computers (and show you them). However this is not a malicious site, it is simply pointing out a security risk in our browsers. The aim of this site is to not only inform us to this risk but ultimately eliminate the risk.

They have set up a petition to “request to patch the privacy vulnerabilities of … different web browsers.” So I totally recommend that check out the site and see your history. If any site can see it, who knows what secrets you have could be uncovered, or even worse: login details, bank details etc! So if your worried about these risks sign the petition! (At time of posting 1521 have already signed).

When they get a sizable amount of signees they will be sending the petition to the following companies: Mozilla Corp, Apple inc, Microsoft Corp and Opera Software ASA (Thankfully they don’t have too big expectations). Then, perhaps, we will be able to surf a little safer!

So hopefully that will encourage you to use our proxies! So sign the petition and make your browsing more secure!

Glype 2.0 Coming Soon

Josh — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:54:08 +0000

As Glype has recently been bought, the new owner, Jason has announced that Glype 2.0 will be released soon! Being new to using the Gylpe script and just working out how to use it (its really easy actually) I cant wait for the new release, 2.0! The current script is great, from what I’ve seen: its quick, uses relatively low bandwidth and has some cool features.

From what Jason has said in the new update there are going to be many “bugfixes and new features“. And there is also a small list of what is currently going to be i the new update, and it sounds very promising.

Ability to use openDNS for lookups

“Quickhide” button

Resurrection of the glype manager

Better support for ajax heavy sites / youtube / facebook / myspace / etc..

Better stats / usage info

[Link to Post]

These updates will be great and hopefully increase our profits! How? Well if there is a “Quick Hide” button, people will stay on our proxies longer, as they wont have to quit when a person walks in the room. This means more ad impressions/popups etc, increasing our profits! Also if they can use youtube & facebook etc they will browse for longer and again increase ad impressions!

Another interesting feature that I cant wait for is, “glype manager”. I have read up a little bit on this and it seams very interesting. It will allow for easy and quick customization of multiple proxies on a server from within one web script. I think this will be a definite must for all “glypemasters” in the future with more than 5 proxies!

Jason posted that they will have a release within two weeks on the 7th of April, so we should expect a download in about a week from now!

For more information on this release head on over to the Glype Forums!
