It’s easy when you become a proxy owner to ignore the powerful and effective scripts that can earn you money by themselves. Many of these proxy scripts will create you a stand-alone website that can spread targeted visitors to your network. Some of my highest earning websites are proxy lists and different proxy resources.
Proxy List Script
This script offers unparalleled features, functionality and flexibility. I believe the code will be well written due to the overall professional and high quality feeling you get from the homepage. It does come with a steep price tag but if you put a bit of effort into making your proxy list stand out, this can be recouped in months to come. I do believe the script is unencrypted which is excellent for people who want to modify bits.
Price Tag: $199
Automatic Proxy Submitter
This is a quirky little script that I purchased a couple weeks back, although the owner has struggled with a couple updates not working. It will basically give you some HTML links to add to your web proxy and then submit it to numerous proxy list websites.
I have to say it brings in a reasonable amount of traffic, it peaked on the first day with a few hundred uniques and has trailed off to provide about 50 visitors a day to each submitted proxy. The only problem with it is the mass of ugly proxy links you have to include. That said, it may be worth trimming it down to about 5 or 10 good ones.
Price Tag: $14.99
Proxy Promo
If you liked the idea of Proxy List Script but couldn’t afford the price tag, this may be for you. It has all the basic feature’s you’d want in a proxy listing script but doesnt excel in any of them. I have to say the demo looks quite blandand doesn’t do itself any favors. I also saw that it uses ionCube encoding which I try to avoid at all costs, it just adds too many restrictions on how you can expand your website. The price tag is ok, although there are three “add-ons” that you can purchase seperately. The link checker ($10.79), Yearly script updates ($14.99) and copyright removal ($5.59). I personally feel these should be included as standard, but they add a hefty $31.37 to the price tag.
Price Tag: $32.99 ($64.36 fully featured)
If done well, a proxy listing site can grow to get search engine rankings and earn money by itself. They can provide a source of free traffic to boost new proxy sites that you make. Websites like these also tend to rank well in the search engines if you include some unique and well researched content.
I’d like to announce that I am now offering free proxy hosting through my new website - Web Proxy Host. I have some spare capacity on a dedicated server of mine so I thought I’d offer free hosting with a twist - you own all adspace on the homepage and I will place on 468×60 banner on the proxy browsing pages.
I am offering a generous 1GB space and 100GB bandwidth per month per website. Everyone with their own domain is welcome to apply, no sub domains or extensions like co.cc will be accepted though. It goes without saying that you are expected to make the most of these resources and I can expand your package as necessary.
You have full access to your files but you may only place files on the server that are directly linked to and used by the proxy website. Ideally you will be using the glype - it offers great functionality, is relatively efficient and requires a smaller amount of resources than other proxy scripts.
You can leave a comment here or send me an application from Web Proxy Host if you want to give it a try.
I have been quite busy lately juggling my full time job and all my sites. Im glad to say traffic and revenue are creeping back up through september, a few server optimizations helped there. I’ve always kept the proxy builder blog as an extra, I hope my proxy articles help people over time but I cannot dedicate myself to writing regularly. I hope that people are learning and experimenting with my ideas, I love new competition! Enough rambling, back to business.
I have made some very interesting purchases lately and with the closure of the PHProxy project, my timing couldent of been better. I now own great keyword domains for all the best PHP based proxy scripts around. Zelune.info was my first one word proxy script domain, quite a fitting TLD I think.
The Glype proxy script is a quite a young contender but if updates & patches continue at this pace it will be great. You can now use our free glype web proxy at Glype.net. You can also download the very powerful PHP glype proxy script from our site, but you must keep a link back to the original glype website to use it.
I also snapped up Surrogafier.info, the name of a increasingly popular php proxy script. I definitely got a very fair price and grabbed a snazzy new proxy template for it too. I have used this script on a couple of my proxy websites and found it had quite good functionality. The site needs some work doing to it and I will offer a free source for the Surrogafier proxy script download.
I have been slacking off a bit on my websites lately. Its difficult to work 24/7 but I have many more proxy projects underway and I showcase them here when they are complete.
Proxy Builder would like to announce the release of a free Zelune Proxy Script download over at Zelune.info. Zelune is a fast web-based proxy script, it delivers great performance and competes with the more established PHProxy script. You can find more information on the Zelune Proxy Script at its official home - Zelune.net. They provide a reliable download location for the script and are slowly developing their website into a helpful resource.
The Zelune Proxy Script Pack over at Zelune.info comes integrated with this template:
As always, please keep the footer links intact, Zelune.info is one of my own proxy websites and I am providing these resources for free on that condition. I look forward to releasing more free proxy templates in the next couple weeks, keep checking back!
I would just like to share with everyone the newly released (Aug 6th) Glype 0.3b Proxy Script. It looks like an extremely promising alternative to PHProxy, Zelune and other PHP-based proxy scripts with very similiar functionality. I havent tested it myself yet but I look forward to integrating and trying it out. While I was reading this post I helped myself to some prime Glype domains - I’ve found however obscure the name, people will remember quality web proxies.
Here is a list of the current features in the Glype proxy script 0.3b
- supports caching headers to allow normal browser caching
- uses a server-side cache to speed up requests for common images, files and stylesheets
- no installation needed so simply upload and go!
- setup wizard allows you to configure advanced options for your proxy with no PHP knowledge
- simple theme system provides different layouts quickly and easily
- ensure anonymity by stripping client-side scripts and preventing them from running on proxified pages.
- block access to particular sites with your choice of either a blacklist (blocks every site listed) or a whitelist (blocks every site other than the ones listed)
- ban users individually by IP address or collectively with flexible support for IP ranges
- filter bad words that may cause the entire page to be blocked if the user is subject to network restrictions (such as at school, college or work)
- strip elements from pages such as embedded audio/video or flash to conserve bandwidth
- supports Basic HTTP authentication so you can log into your protected areas

System Requirements
- PHP 5 with cURL enabled
- optional: for caching, PHP must be able to write to the cache folder

Notes Currently released as beta but tested on MySpace, Facebook, Gmail and many other sites.
As you can see there seems to be a very professional setup behind this proxy script, this market is still relatively restricted in the scripts available and more choices are certainly welcome. Time has shown however that proxy scripts can quickly come and go, unless there is dedicated development then it will be more wasted talent. I would appreciate feedback from users and other proxy webmasters on this new proxy service.
