Guys,

    ... and let's not forget the "Girls"!

I am really starting to get pissed off at the searchengines.
For 2 days now been googling (tried ask.com now too) searching for web proxy hosts as I want to run a free service like:
http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html
But hardly any relevant results. You try and see for yourself.

Been googling for 2 days for info on what to "look out for (dangers) in running your own free web proxy service (like anonymouse.org). That way, I can be aware of all the risks and take measures in advance so I don't fall in the pit-falls.
But hardly any relevant results. You try and see for yourself on that too.

Been searching for proxy server script reviews but hardly any proper reviews get found.

Now, if you know of any good webhost (proxy host) that will:

  • allow me to run my own free web proxy available to the public like anonymouse.org;
  • allow me to remotely connect to mysql;
    (I need to get my desktop .exe softwares to dump data to my website's mysql database).
  • will not send me a big bill if my bandwidth goes over limit (capping measures must be in place or better if they provide unlimited bandwidth);

Then provide the links below.

If you know of any gpl (free) web proxy server php script that will allow me to update it with my own money making features (so I can add features to the php script that will enable the web proxy users to earn money by using my free web proxy etc. service) then provide the links below.
(And yes, my web proxy users will indirectly make money by using my free web proxy. Stand-by and see for yourself! I am not going to reveal my ideas here so others can get the idea up and running before I do. Hold your breath and keep watch and see what happens).

In short, I need a gpl web proxy server script.
I need a flexible and suitable webhost who will allow remote mysql connections and allow me to run web proxies.
My current webhost has now stopped remote mysql connection and expects me to buy their dedicated line for nearly $50/yr. I don't like to pay any extra to what I used to get without any charge (as it came with the paid hosting).

Btw, what kind of questions should I as the webhost regarding the free web proxy service I want to run ?
Here are some questions I have in mind to ask but you are welcome to add your own questions for me to as them:

Q. What features in the proxy server must I keep tabs on so my users don't download anything illegal or don't visit any websites related to porn or illegal activities ?
Q. How can I meter my web proxy users ? Which web proxy php script would meter my users ?
Q. How to add banned words list to the web proxy server so that if my users request my web proxy server to fetch any webpages related to these keywords then their requested webpages don't get fetched ? Web proxy must check requested page's content keywords, met keywords, meta descriptions, image file names, video file names, webpage file names and file path names (directory names) for these banned keywords.

Don't recommend me Glype or MiniProxy. Former license restrictive and latter has too complicated coding for my liking to update.

Cheers!

You are going to be the next Bill Gates but cannot or will not pay $50 to get the functionality you are after. And, seriously, you wonder why people downvote this stuff?

Oh, and if we are all such losers then why bother asking us for help?

It's like me pressing the button and watch them drag themselves out of their rat holes and come and smell the cheese in my trash can

Oh, I see. So you are a troll after all...

So you want to run a limitless free service for the whole world, using a host's resources, but don't think you should pay the host for their services / resources? Good luck with that. If that was your "big idea", I'm disappointed - I thought you were trying something new - not copying anonymouse.
So anonymouse allows you to surf anonymously and to send emails anonymously - to spam indiscriminately in other words, oh and to post anonymously to newsgroups. I can understand the surfing anonymously, but you want to restrict this from porn or illegal activities. Unless you're in an oppressive regime that blocks facebook etc, 95% of traffic will be for porn and illegal activities. The rest I imagine will be for geeks sticking it to the man or legitimate use regarding privacy. I don't understand your aversion to porn though :)

BTW, seems anonymouse doesn't work anyway: http://karlynp.booklikes.com/post/554839/warning-do-not-use-anonymouse-org-as-a-web-proxy

http://zfreez.com/ mentioned in the karlynp post, seems to have given up the ghost too. There seems to be a lot of these about and few of them seem to work as intended or seem to last the course. What a golden opportunity - wish I'd thought of it.

HappyGeek,

If you expect me to pay $50 to get the script done then what on earth am I doing in a php programming forum, where people prowl to learn php or atleast gain work experience from seniors' helps ? Seniors who have been there, done this and that, and knows what works and what not.
Shouldn't I be in freelancers.com instead ? Ask yourself that.
I am not jus after the money. If I was, I'd talk less in order not to risk having others guess my ideas and build them before me. I'd go to freelancers.com and just pay someone to build the script.
No. I'm the DIY guy. I like to build my own building that was designed by me. I don't mind asking others along the way, if how I'm building is ok for the foundation or not. Or, if I get stuck then if others direct me how to do it then that is ok too aslong as they don't put the brick their designy way but me.
It does not feel good if you just press a button and watch others build your stuffs. It is fun to put your own sweat and blood. All that ducking & diving, digging & ..... is fun.
I think I have proven my point now.
You people got on the band wagon using the wrong foot. Instead of making me an enemy, you lot should have joined-in getting me to add your own designs here and there. I know the programming communitiues stick together grouping against the competition programming languages. I thought php people would help each other so the group gets bigger compared to Python etc. But, I guess I was wrong. This is a capitalist world. And capitalists get jealous very easily. They don't care if you belong to the same group aslong as they can hold you back from helping yourself and especially the masses (public). They don't like to see the public benefit. They only care for their corporates. I thought you guys were different. Socialists. But you are all just (well you know what you guys are. A disappointment).
And yes, not only will I be the next Bill Gates, but Larry Page, Sergei, Mark Zuckerberg, and the modern others. Infact, none of them would stand a chance. Why they won't stand a chance ? Because, they're all capitalists. That is why. They make money out of the public. Their sites don't really help the public make money. Mine would be different. My ideas are based around the public (users) earn money. Money to get out of poverty. That is the aim. Not to make anyone rich. But if anyone becomes rich then no hard feelings.

I was gonna add notes in the README, a list of names who helped the project. Now, I'm thinking ... Add who's names ? Those who helped a little and then did more damage by trying to forestall the project ?
Now, I'm thinking, I might aswell not gpl it.
End of discussion.

End of discussion.

No, not by a long chalk. You don't get to end a discussion. Members may feel they want to carry on with or without you. What has socialism and capitalism got to do with helping out a deserving soul on a forum? A recently deceased contributor - possibly the greatest of all contributors on here was a Republican. I'm a nationalist. There is a very high level guy here who I suspect is an anarchist. Politics don't come into it. The key for most of us is - "who is the deserving soul?" Guess who it's not?

commented: Devils, angels and all sorts welcome here. +12
commented: Only suspect? I must try harder :-) +15

HappyGeek,

My cheese did get you all out. I now know which 4 has been down-voting my posts. The masks have been pulled all by yourselves. I'm just a little ashamed of you guys to think that mods would stoop so low and behave this way towards guests. Your members are your guests.

rproffit,

You were my favourite here and so I did not expect you to come to the cheese. Nor HappyGeek. I knew Diafol would be skulking around. And I was right.
Was expecting AssertNull to sniff it and JamesCherril but them 2 are absent. One part of me said, AssertNull won't stoop that low. I see that is true.

But, HappyGeek! I am very disappointed, man!
When JamesCherril banned me, you sort of over-rode that. But, here you are sneeking-up on every one of my posts and down voting. Tell me, you did not re-instate my account just to become my shadow that backstabs me ?
Oh man! Why am I even bothering with you guys ?
Over and out!

commented: Guess what. Wrong again. I hadn't downvoted you. You are, however, a troll. +0

Diafol,

My boy! Why is that soul not deserving ? Because, he said he will defeat the top 10 sites on the net ? Do you own shares in one of them or some of them 10 ?

Programmers in one forum (can't remember which one) told me to talk less and just shoot them all. I am trying to do that now.
Another in another forum PM'ed me he likes my ideas and thinks would work (compete with Google). Pleaded me to keep quiet and not reveal my ideas anymore about it to the "clowns" in the forum.
I have already got the green light from many wise guys now. I'm not backing away anymore. Never really had any intentions to back away. Been dreaming for a long long time. Now to bring out both jack and jacqueline from their boxes.

He he. Very good ui.

This is good stuff ui
Just woke up to it
You do make me smile
Don't forget to take your meds

BTW. Votes? Get over yourself. You post your usual crapola and you will attract down votes. I can't give you - 5. That takes 5 individuals
Your last post was - 1 when I saw it.

This may come as a bit of a shock. You do not have to leave a message in a thread to down vote. Your cheese trap doesn't work. Not very bright but top marks for raving :)

Still all sounds like a pyramid scam to me UI...

The tragedy here is that UI is obviously a highly intelligent and articulate person, but those attributes are being criminally wasted trolling an irrelevant web site when he should be building a demo or proof of concept for his ideas and seeking partners to bring them to fruition. OK, maybe the odds are against him, but that's true of every new idea. What's certain is that wasting time composing drivel isn't going to improve those odds.

I've UPVOTED your last post JamesCherril.

"UI is obviously a highly intelligent and articulate person, but those attributes are being criminally wasted trolling an irrelevant web site when he should be building a demo or proof of concept for his ideas and seeking partners to bring them to fruition."

You've lightened my mood now. Highly Intelligent. Well, atleast the guy who banned me for 10 days has some sense. And, it's now been confirmed by another programmer in another forum (3rd forum as of now) that I'm not crazy and my ideas are not plain stupid. One of my best mates, thinks I am crazy and my ideas won't work. Sort of falling out with him. He's likely to be made redundant since the shop he manages is not doing good business anymore. It's not his industry's season this time round. The dick should have kept his mouth shut because I was planning on aiding him make a new living out of my ideas so he does not have to 9-5 wage slave anymore. But some people are just destined to suffer poverty in this world due to shooting their lousy mouths due to envy.
Anyway, don't know what you mean by "articulate". Will checkout the google definition.
"Criminally Wasted". That part saddend me, though.
If I was a criminal, I won't be trying to help the public globally where the majority live below the poverty line. It's the capitalists who are the real criminals. Big corporates. Loan sharks, porn industry (yes, those who take advantage of woman when they're in need of money. And, I do have a plan up my seeve to help women folk so they don't lower themselves to porning & prostitution in desperate times) etc.
Nevermind. I guess you just made an expression stating I am wasting my time and should have snatched at the chance and got my dream up and running by now rather than lurking in this forum which is proving to be nothing but a BIG waste of my time.

HappyGeek,

So, you did not DownVote me all this time ? Then, I was wrong to jump to conclusions. But, did you really had to call a member an "idiot", especially after being in a mod position ?

And just, which part sounds like a pyramid scheme ?

Don't get too excited... I cannot confirm that your ideas (which I am not privy to) are not crazy nor plain stupid. All I'm saying is that paradigm busting ideas seem crazy at first, and most of them are crazy, but once in a blue moon there's one that's not. Only time will tell.
I wasn't suggesting that you are a criminal, just that wasting the talents you have like this should be a criminal offense :)

Your last paragraph is spot on.

At last...

UI:

  1. I'm not a mod.
  2. "the public (top 10 sites members) can make money out of it" sounds like a pyramid scheme.
  3. You called me a capitalist and a loser, you stated I had downvoted your posts. None of these are true. Ipso facto, idiot.

HappyGeek,

If you are not a mod then how come James Cherril stated that he has banned me and you think otherwise and have re-instated my account ?
Well, I did find myself banned for 10 days and wondered how did HappyGeek overwrite his action if I can't login to my account.
Anyway, I'm no gonna fight with you.
Let's make-up comrade! Let's start over: Are you Bulgarian ?
I thought Diafol was referring to you as the "Anarcho Communist"! Lol!
But, I'm glad that, you are not a capitalist. :)
My Yugoslavian friend was an Anarcho Communist (he said so himself) but his Russian mate, I don't think he was. ;)

Facebook, twitter, etc. can always allow you to place your cpm ads so when people read your profiles, tweets, etc. then you earn money.
Pyramid scheme has nothing to do with it.
However, my idea was not really based around what I just mentioned. It's more sophisticated. My point is, the top 10 can always allow their members to earn money but they deliberately don't. That will be their downfall.

HappyGeek is an admin - ranks above mod and below Dani.

James Cherill,

Let's call my ideas/concepts (that help the members/masses/public money and not just the corporates or big websites money) my "big ideas".
I will still remain excited. Because, when I mentioned my browser somewhere (that revolves around my big ideas), one of the major international advertising company (from where the money would be coming from to the browser users) read the concept and told me not to go ahead publicising it anymore unless they get back to me.
They took it to their lab. Got their programmers to have a look at it if it breaks their TOS. I built it so it does not break their's nor their competitions. They got back and gave me the green light and wished me luck. Why did they take it to their lab ? Because they thought it would go viral (the concept behind it was too HOT) and suspected (just like Diafil jumps to conclusions and HappyGeek) it would crookedly rinse their system to earn the browser users money. 24hrs later, they found-out it was an honest browser. Not a malware, spyware or form of fraudware.
Their competition (another international world known company) wanted me to display their banner very broad all over my browser. (But, I let that pass). Why did they want that ? Because they knew the masses would use my browser (the concept behind it to make the users money was too HOT) and they wanted all my users to view their banner ad.
All this is good news to me.
But, my luck is not good. You could have a great product but if nobody hears about it then it will remain in the shelf (like a lot of fellow programmers told me).
I failed in advertising.
Also, I reckon I won't reach those who are too fussy on privacy (western countries) and those who are weary to install .exe softwares onto their computers from unknown brands. I've got thumbs-up from the Indian Continent and Japan. Other countries are not aware of it. Hence, it's not in the news yet.
The majority of the world population (Asians & Africans) don't have desktop computers or laptops. They use smart phones to connect online. My web browser meant for the computers would be of no use to them. Majority of the people who are living below the poverty line are in Africa and Asia. If I can't reach them with my web browser but reach the well off (who have desktop computers & laptops) in Europe and Americas then I'm failing to target the right audience. Hence, I stalled my browser and thought of building a mobile phone app (android browser) instead. That way, the African and Asian users can download the app/browser onto their smart phones and use it regular and earn money. Plus, people are not that fussy to download apps onto their fones like they are fussy to download .exe computer softwares onto their computers.
So, you see, I do know fair knowledge of marketing & promotion.
These following countries have over a billion population and so they are my target:

China
India
Indonesia

Ofcourse, the whole world is my target but Asia and Africa the most due to large number of population living below the poverty level.
You see, I'm not stupid like you people think I am. I know that Android programming is hard and it would probably take me 2yrs to learn the programming. Or worst, I'd most likely struggle to learn the programming and quit. Learning php is likely to be easier. And so, instead of getting an Android app with all the money making functions I am adding the money making functions onto my website with php instead. Then will use those websites that help you build mobile phone apps and use their services to compile a cell phone browser app that will open to my website. Users will logon to my website and browse the net (web proxy, searchengine, social network, etc.). And, they will earn money. Websites/businesses would find leads. Consumers would find businesses. Put the business and the consumer together.
Anyway, I'm not gonna bother discussing anymore. Like you said JamesCherril, got to get the task completed asap. I have completed (with php) the project 90%. Just stuck on it 10%. Getting help from other forums from volunteers. If at the end, I fail to complete it then will look for a freelance programmer to build it.

TL;DR:

Because, when I mentioned my browser somewhere (that revolves around my big ideas), one of the major international advertising company (from where the money would be coming from to the browser users) read the concept and told me not to go ahead publicising it anymore unless they get back to me.

So are you going to show us this world-beating browser?

I am an Admin here.

You were not banned for 10 days as I reversed the ban on the same day it was originally applied. If you could not access your account for 10 days then you should raise that as a bug report over in the DaniWeb Community Feedback forum.

I am not a communist.

Yes, I am Bulgarian. womble.jpg

HappyGeek,

Answering one of your posts before your previous post.
Yes, I did call you a capitalist but I did not call you a loser directly. I called everyone, who has been downvoting me a loser and at that time (if I remember correctly, I did not have you in mind). It is just later-on, I saw how many downvotes I am getting after you and the others replied and I saw the number of repliers equal or match the number of downvoters. And so, later on on one of my posts I (wrongfully, misjudged you and complained how come a moderator behaves the same). Anyway, nevermind. I can see where you are coming from. If I'm suspecting you to be one of the down voters then since I called all down voters losers then I must be calling you a loser too. The insult is probably meant for you too. That was your thinking. Nah! I wasn't targeting you.

Anyway, I LIKED your previous post. Just read it now. Thank you for your reply. Ah! So, you are an Admin calling your fellow member an "Idiot" ? Mmm. That is very hospitable!

Btw, I thought the other person refered you as the anarchist. Hence, thought you must be a former communist.
Well, if you are Bulgarian then I guess I have started developing psychic powers now.
I was into psychology. No school subject, though. Reading peoples' faces and thoughts and predicting their next or future actions based on their personalities and facial expressions. Nowadays, I'm starting to develope enhancements to the knowledge by guessing people's backgrounds, looks, etc. based on their writing/typing styles online. I'm surprised I've become spot-on on guessing your nationality.
Frankly, I know nothing of Bulgaria apart from that the eastern europeans are "Slav" by race. I had a Croatian friend and he taught me that the word "slave" derived from the word "Slav" and in the past the Slav race were slaves. Didn't ask him who's slaves. I'm guessing Roman slaves. Well, the whole of Europe and parts of Asia were Roman slaves anyway. I know Bosnians, Serbians, Croatians are from the former Yugoslavia and are Slav. Noticed him talking in the same language with a Serb and a Russian. I started to guess then that the east Europeans must be the same race (Slavs) since they speak in the same language and/or accent. Knew a polish person and the accent was the same too. Not sure if the language was the same. Guessing, Macedonians, Bulgarians, Georgians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Polish are all slavs and speak the same language. Am I I right ? Anyway, this friend of mine, once boasted that he introduced himself to a female (non Croatian) and he told her he was a communist. Then he said to her: "Not just communist. But "Anarcho Communist". He once said, if he could build a software then it'd be an accounting type of software which he will program it to give wrong calculations at one point in order to make all the using companies make losses and come tumbling down (bankrupt). Ha! Ha! V funny. I wasn't into programming back then. I I was, he'd probably would have tried talking me into building it. Lol!
In short, east europeans are Slavs and west Europeans mostly Saxons who came out from Germany (Deatchland). English, Usa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand are all Saxons I know.
Actually, don't bother answering that. We are going off-topic and I can sort of see your face reddening and you're probably thinking of giving me a warnign to stop guessing people's race and stop bringing the race issue on this forum. I have a mental pic of Diafol, right now, with his face twisted with rage hating me for bringing the race issue up.
And forget about what I said that I am developing psychic powers. That was a joke. I start-off with guesses on a specific topic and most of the time I am wrong. But then slowly gain experience in it and then guess or "figure" things out correctly. That is all there is to it. How did I guess you are Bulgarian ? Frankly, I don't know. Just the word Bulgarian came to my mind and has been lately when I think about you. A tall, slim 5-8 or 9'' guy with a little brownish short hair. That is the pic I have about you. Before, that I used to depic a long brown Jesus type har wearing glasses (geeky).
And, right now, if I am not mistaken, Diafol is reading this and planning his next post to bash my and lecture me on "race" and "slaves" and "which regime I come from and he has a pic of me in his head that looks like this and that". I I'm not mistaken, he has in mind to say "which gutter you came out from ?" (predicting this from his past behaviour). Ah me! Young 24-27 yr old Usa guys! Always short tempered! Lol!
I wonder if your mod, James Cherril is Australian, 5ft 8 with short brown scruffy beard. Friendly to look upon. I had a teacher like that once.
Maybe, you guys should list your facebook profiles on your forum profiles so we can see what you gyys look like instead of guessing. Would help to address people properly if we knew their ages. The yound would be addresses differently from the seniors.

As for the bug. No good reporting now since my account was working and I can't exactly remember the message I got when trying to login.
Ah! So, you are admin! That is greater than a moderator. Good.

PS - I used psychology to come-up with a few good website ideas to trample facebook & google (those 2 were and still are the target) but the top 10 websites online would experience the stampede. That is why I am confident that, both parties (consumers & websites/businesses/traders) would like my "unique website/services").

Anway, got to checkout the other forums for replies. I know I won't get any help here but I'll update my threads with the codes I get from the other forums so newbies to this forum can benefit from my experience, venture & quest.
But, I will post some of my new ideas in this forum, in the approperiate categories, for feed-back. I have taken up on myself to make sure that, when I finally finish my projects and leave all forums then people from this forum DO MISS ME and my RANTING. Lol!
Especially, Diafol. I know James Cherril will miss me. That is my prediction. No matter what he claims publicly. Lol! ;)
This is not to offend him. And so, don't ban me if he tries putting you up to it. It's my way of getting close to someone. ;)

PS - Let us end this bickering. AssertNull was the one who started all you guy's ill feelings towards me. And look, where he is now. He has gone. No matter how hard JamesCherril tried holding onto him.
Frankly, (and I know this is gonna beserk JamesCherril). People like AssertNull won't progress much in life being all emotional and stuff like that online. There are a hundred types of people and you'll encounter them all or a great majority of them online. You will never see eye to eye with them. That should not get you all crying and bickering and complaining like a baby expecting everyone to apologise to you or you will "leave". His loss.
Look at me. This whole forum, including the mod and admin ganged-up on me. Admin even called me an "idiot" but am I crying like a baby and leaving ? Nah! I'm staying until my project is finished. Then, I will leave myself, WILLINGLY, all the forums. Eventually, one day.
And, (here's the IRONY) everyone will miss me. Have any of you seen "The Way of The Dragon" where everyone hat'es Lee's character at first but at the end, when it's time for him to leave, they all missed him at the end and wished him to stay ? But he left. No matter what. He left at his own time.
Ah Swell! Took me about an hr writing and editing this post. And, I knw you guys will tell me it would have been better spending that time learning programming or better getting my ambitions built by a paid programmer.

PS - I am actually, not well today and a bit under the weather. Me managing to guess the Admin's nationality just excited me to rant this far. Lol!

PPS - I am guessing JamesCherril is either from Australia (leaning more towards this) or Usa. Diafol either Usa (leaning more towards that) or Australia but none from Canada, New Zealand or Britain or from any non-english speaking parts of Europe (France, Germany). One member in another forum asked if I was from Germany.

UI, I'm still waiting for you to share the details of your browser that is on the verge of setting the world on fire. Please can you post some information or I won't be able to remove you from the "bullshitting timewaster" category that you are currently a member of.

Where does this 6'2", 15 stone, heavily tattooed (including head, neck, hands, fingers) shaven headed, bearded Englishman start in response to that uncanny profiling by UI?

As for why don't you guys post your FB profiles; well if you look next to my username there's actually a photo of me. If you needed to look any further you could perhaps check out my DaniWeb profile or even Google Davey Winder as I understand there may be one or two hits...
