Proxy Blog | Random Proxy

The fact that proxies get blocked sends shivers down each individual proxy owner across the web, including me. So maximizing the time that a proxy is unblocked is crucial and can mean the difference between making a large profit or loosing money! There are several factors that can cause a proxy to be blocked, so I have listed them below and I will go into further detail later on.

• Domain name
• Content
• Filenames
• Links (In and out)
• IP Address

Domain Name

Choosing the correct domain name is crucial. If you choose the wrong one, your proxy could be blocked within days, meaning you make very little on it. You need to make sure that your domain doesn’t include words such as, “proxy, bypass, unblock, unlock etc”. These words are a big no no. Words such as these get blocked very quickly. There are two other ways that you could choose a domain. Firstly you could choose something very random, such as www.onebigonion.com or www.zarchive.org. Alternatively you could go for a short domain such as www.ip23.info or www.1ri.info. these domains have no such reference to proxies and therefore make great domains for proxies.

Content

What content you have on your proxy is again crucial. Of course you want your user to know that you have a fully functioning proxy, but you don’t want the bots or spiders crawling your site to know. You don’t want to use the word proxy in any of your content. That means headers, main body or footer, anywhere! Obviously this will be hard, but it will mean that your proxy sites will be unblocked for much longer!

Filenames

As bots and spiders crawl the whole of your site they “see” all of your filenames. so make sure that none of them contain the word proxy. This includes images, and CSS files.

Links (In and out)

Again, as bots and spiders crawl everything they crawl the links in too! So if your providing links to topsites then they will get crawled to. Then in turn if they’re blacklisted then your site could too get blacklisted. So if your linked to and you link to many blacklisted and blocked sites then your more likely to get blocked yourself.

IP Address

Finally, your IP address plays a large part in if you get blocked or blacklisted. If your IP has a long history of having proxies on it then your site (even if it is not a proxy!) could get blacklisted. So what most proxy owners do is they purchase a unique IP for their proxies which usually is only a few dollars a month.

So that’s it. If you don’t want to get your proxy blocked very quickly follow the above simple steps. Obviously following them religiously would be great, but this is very hard, so I would recommend following them, but a few slip ups wont damage your proxy too much.
