A Request to Online Proxies and Circumventors
Saturday, 07 April 2007
Those of you who run Proxies, whether via Tor, a regular proxy server, or by browser-based proxies (php and css circumventors), I must first thank you for providing a service that unobstructs the internet for those of us who must deal with terrible software like Websense.

 I do have one request/suggestion, though. As Websense tends to block websites by scanning both the content, URLs, the site address, and more, I request that the operators of the site(s) modify them in these slight ways:

  1. Replace or obfuscate the word "proxy" and all forms of it in all of the URLs, text, etc. Websense and other filters block sites that even mention the word "proxy." Replace it with p roxy, or circumventor, a random string of characters, etc. Keep your logo the same, as the filters aren't that smart.
  2. Allow https transmissions over your site. This will keep those of us who are monitored from being monitored, as the traffic is well-encrypted.
  3. Have an ip-only version of your site, perhaps using mod_rewrite to rewrite all of the links from yourname.com/index.php to 0.0.0.0/index.php so that the filters don't block by words contained in your domain.
  4. A combination of number 3 and 4 would be great, and would really make sure that we can surf without being monotored or blocked in any way.

I would like to see this happen with popular hacking sites as well, as there is nothing wrong with them. Hacking itself isn't bad. Hacking is knowledge, and good/bad depends on how you use it.

Please spread the word to your friends online who run proxy, hacking, and other commonly blocked sites that are really acceptable.
