Why no proxy programs allowed?

[xicex]

No list of proxies or proxy getting/checking programs.

I don't understand.

They're not illegal.

We have a right to anonymity?

If you disallow proxy lists/programs you might as well disallow pages with text on it, and not allow Zips or .EXEs to be uploaded.

I understand proxy scripts, but...

Simply put, one of the main reasons proxy scripts are dissallowed, is that they hog resources like almost nothing else,

also their are occasionally moral/legal issues with hosting porxy sites, though this is generally not the problem

[xicex]

That doesn't answer the question though..

TOS's aren't allowing anything to do with proxies.

Proxy Lists, applications, programs.. read the rest of the topic?

You know #.#.#.#:Port?

You stick it in the Network connection option of your browser.


I'm assuming they are actually allowed. But hosts think the term "proxy" automatically mean proxy script which will kill your server.

Oh wierd. They must have the permissions set differently for different user levels here because the "delete" button is right next to the save button

proxies generally attract a less than legal crowd and the scripts do cause higher cpu resources. For most hosts it makes sense to disallow them completely, just one less thing to worry about

[xicex]

I'm not talking about scripts though.

[Host-Us.net]

I do not see a problem with ( so I allow them ) proxy list, proxy information, etc sites. However I do not allow Proxy script sites, simply because of the load on the server, and the type of people that it attracts.

[findmore]

Yes, proxy scripts takes too high system resource.

[AMC]

so , sorry, now ive got confused, you guys allow proxy related material but not proxies themselves ( thats what i thought). mostly proxies are used to get roud firewalls , however i occasionally use them to identify problems with my connection and such like

[xd3vilx]

I believe this guys is asking why it is not allow to host proxy list, the one that give you proxy ip and allow you to set it yourselves through your browser.

[[ih]Demetris]

I dont have a issue with just the lists at all..but i have had baaaad experiences with scripts being on the server etc.

[AMC]

Ok, so the long and the short of it is, most hosts are lazy. They cant be bothered to insert an extra page into the Terms of Use in order to define the different areas of proxy based material, and what is and isnt allowed. They think it is much easier to just say that all proxy material is bad - its their deal - if you dont like it, find a host that does. I think i remember underg once saying he didnt mind proxy scripts, you could try him
